Imagine this, it is Spring time. You are getting ready for the Summer, school is about to let out for the Summer. You turn the news to hear weather talk about possible tornadoes. So, you keep an eye out for anything in the skies. Then, you here the weather man say they is a Tornado Warning in effect for your area. You go for cover, but you have no basement. So you go to an interior room in the house like a bathroom, hallway, or closet to ride out the storm. You think maybe it is a weak tornado that will blow by, but then you here the ground rumble and shake. You hear growling and roaring outside. Stuff begin to bang your house. Then, all of a sudden your house is gone and you are in the eye of this big tornado. This tornado is unlike all the others as it just sits on top of you for up 3 minutes. 261 mph winds nonstop blowing, you get pick up and is up in the air whirling around and around this tornado. Then, the tornado slams you to the ground. You lose conscious and then wake up to total silence and rain... This was how it was for residents for Jarrell on May 27, 1997, one of the most powerful tornado would go through Jarrell, TX (Double Creek Estates). This tornado would go on to cause catastrophic destruction and leave nothing in its path. This tornado would immediately get a rating of a F5 as winds touch 261 mph. The damage was so bad, there nothing left not even debris. The tornado granulated the debris in tiny particles. Ripped plumbing out of the ground. Left incredible ground scouring. What made this tornado so devastating was the fact that this tornado sat over Double Creek estates for a whopping 2-3 minutes. Your average tornado may sit over one spot for maybe a minute. But this tornado was also moving super slow at a rate of 5-10 mph (Your average tornado speed is normally 30-40 mph). So this tornado basically blended and sandblasted the community. It unfortunately took 27 lives (3 whole families would parish). At one point this tornado had a "Dead man walking" appearance which is the tornado having multiple little tornadoes going around it like arms and legs (Basically a mulita-vortex tornado).
