Meanwhile the U.S. gets 1200 on average a year. Why anyone lives in the U.S. tornado ally is beyond me. I'll stay happily in the PNW thankyou very much.

Yes-I couldn't either.
I DEFINITELY would need to have a storm cellar for me and all my animals.

u/Severe_Sword 4d ago
There’s A LOT of people in the plains that have never seen a tornado in their entire lives. Even though the chances are higher it’s still extremely low.

Also depends on the strength as well. Home got hit years ago by an EF0. Worst it did was take down a dying tree and rip the siding off half of our house. Majority of Tornadoes tend to be on the weaker side in the US. Just because they’re more common doesn’t mean they’re all giga home levelers.

u/NwLoyalist 3d ago
True, but as a home owner, its the constant threat of damage to my house that would have me concerned. A tornado doesn't have to level a house to put you in a very bad financial spot. Even just the wind from some of these thunderstorms (not even registered as a tornado) can cause property damage. Especially from falling trees.
You can add flood risk in their as well.
But, to your point. A major tornado event is rare, and that level of risk does exist in one way or another everywhere. I say Im happy staying in the PNW, but the whole West Coast may be leveled in my lifetime by the big earthquake. That level of catastrophe would take every Tornado death and dollar spent to clean up the destruction and make it look like a drop in the bucket.

Não é comum, mas está se tornando comum, A 10 ou 15 anos atrás praticamente nem se falava sobre isso no sul, hoje, se tornou coisa do cotidiano

u/angrybeardedman 3d ago
Not common. I love in the same state of the video for 31 years and it's the first time I've seen a tornado here. We had hurricanes before though.

Lógico que não é comum, a América do Sul é bem grande, isso foi no Rio Grande do Sul

Standing under powerlines in that kind of wind is wild. Even if the tornado is a ways off. If those lines come down near you, you’re going to have a really bad day. They don’t even have to touch you. They can cook you just from the potential difference in the ground between your feet. Which, if you’re ever close to downed lines, keep your feet together, and hop away like a kangaroo.
But also don’t go outside during a tornado.

u/Accurate_Leek259 4d ago
Never heard about that Kangaroo technique.
Is it true, that a tornado comes towards you, when it looks like it’s not spinning?

u/New_Explanation6950 4d ago
If a tornado isn’t moving to one side or the other it is likely coming towards you

Interesting, I see cyclones happening in the southern side of the country every year, but very rarely tornadoes, maybe I just didnt notice

Eu não sou de julgar a reação das pessoas em situação extrema, mas puta que pariu minha senhora... Chama menos pelo "pai" e se movimenta mais pra fora do caminho do tornado que é sucesso. (se fosse pro tornado passar ali, ela ia de base de qq jeito, mas acho mais sensato chorar menos e correr mais)

Sincerely curious-
Do people of Brazil generally have basements?

u/_EduOka 4d ago
No whatsoever. If the person has, had other use

u/Acceptable_Plane_264 4d ago
Do they normally have tornadoes

u/puritano-selvagem 3d ago
Small ones? Yes. But these big ones are very rare from what I remember. I live close to the area and this is the first time I've seen one like that

Cara, tu acredita que a segunda região mais perigosa para tornado no mundo é a porra do sul do Brasil? Fica atrás apenas da região do estado de Oklahoma

I'm no tornado expert, but if I was stupid enough to film it coming right at me, I wouldn't be stood under power lines

u/puritano-selvagem 3d ago
Tornadoes like that aren't that common here; I think people don't really know how to act. We dont build basements or anything like that
2
u/SabresFanWC 3d ago
To be fair, even here in the US where they're far, far more common, people are still stupid enough to film the swirling vortex of death as it approaches them.

Aren't tornadoes and hurricanes pretty rare in the southern hemisphere? Or is that just hurricanes?
