The Only Tornado To Kill Storm Chasers | The 2.6 Mile Wide El Reno Tornado

Nov 1, 2026  #documentary #Tornado

13 years ago, the largest tornado of all time occured near El Reno, Oklahoma.
At peak intensity, the tornado expanded to 2.6 miles wide, with violent subvortices & radar-indicated winds exceeding 295 mph. That aside, it was the chaos surrounding the event itself that made this one of the most historic tornados ever.
This documentary explores the full story of the El Reno tornado: the atmospheric setup, rapid storm evolution, extreme mobile Doppler radar data, storm chaser close calls, the tragic loss of Team TWISTEX, catastrophic flash flooding across Oklahoma City, and the lasting impact this storm had on meteorology and storm chasing forever.
