Visiting the tornado ghost towns of Glazier Texas - From the woodward Oklahoma Tornado. Greensburg Kansas Tornado. Wakita Oklahoma Practical Effects "Tornado" and the Picher Oklahoma Tornado. Featuring the Woodward Oklahoma F5, Greensburg EF5, Some of the worst US Tornadoes in History. and the ghost towns of Glazier and Picher. Why did two of these become Ghost Towns after a natural disaster, and why did the other two survive?
Many distressed American cities especially on the plains are in danger of not returning from a major natural disaster. I visit towns destroyed by historic weather events.

Glazier Texas was razed by the Woodward F5 Tornado of 1947. Picher Oklahoma, already in serious distress from toxic piles leftover from lead mining, cadmium, and arsenic laced chat piles, was finished off by a terrible tornado. The city's water was poisoned by lead and arsenic and a buyout of the residents was in progress when misery turned to disaster. Wakita Oklahoma was used as a practical effects set for the movie, Twister (The Making of Twister Movie featured here). Several of Wakita's homes were torn down and the streets were littered with debris imported from elsewhere. What if that Tornado really happened? Would Wakita bounce back?
Greensburg Kansas, in spite of total destruction, DID bounce back. I visit a FEMA ghost town left behind after Greensburg was rebuilt.

Shot with a Sony RX10 IV, at 240 fps, Canon 6D and even some with a Logitech 920c Webcam. Locations Featured: Chamberlain, South Dakota August 2019, Aurora, Nebraska June 2018. Tuscon Arizona and others.
Anvil Crawlers are a type of lightning that crawls the sky in the, you guessed it anvil of the thunderstorm. This is an area where upper level winds have sheered off the top of the Cumulo Nimbus cloud. They are full of tiny ice crystals moving at different speeds, creating static charge. The anvil of a storm covers hundreds of square MILES and is usually around 40 to 50 THOUSAND feet above ground. When this static builds up, it is released over a massive area of the sky, filling even the widest angle lenses with incredible lightning displays for your camera to enjoy. Even better at high speed!
