House Destroyed by Tornado – Caught on Surveillance Camera
An ATM surveillance camera from First State Bank in Parkersburg, Iowa caught this amazing footage of a house being destroyed by the deadly May 25th EF-5 tornado.
The person who lives here was home at the time and was not injured. Hard to believe after seeing the video!

Eastern Colorado is …
Eastern Colorado is part of Tornado Alley as is South Dakota. Tornadoes have formed in mountains. Tornadoes would probably be possible in Switzerland but rare and generally weak.
that is a …
that is a awesome video thanks for putting it up. It was exactly was I was searching for on here!

shoot, i’d like to have one of those houses, i wish that sort of thing came standard here in the mid western part of the united states.
@ inveiglment: no, …
@ inveiglment: no, there are like no tornadoes at all in Switzerland. Switzerland has a lot of heigh mountains. I don’t know about tornadoes in Colorado or South Dakota. Colorado is a bit like Switzerland so I can imagine that there are also not many Tornadoes.
So Tornadoes from …
So Tornadoes from Switzerland is stronger than South Dakota and Colorado?

I’m from PA, Here in the western part of the state tornadoes are not uncommon.
That area is referred to as the Midwest.
parts of TX, OK, KS, NE, SD, IA, and a couple other states are sometimes referred to as tornado alley.

which state are you from?
no I was wrong. I …
no I was wrong. I was thinking until now that the mid west states were including kansas, oklahoma etc. but it’s not. I just don’t know how the area of NE, KS, OK, MO, AR is called. Maybe there is no specific name for this area
Those states? …
Those states? That’s unusual. Are you sure they weren’t just dust devils?
Yes I know F5 will …
Yes I know F5 will destroy nearly everything! I’m fascinated by tornados. I could be a hunter sometimes! =D And I really like american houses. I saw some very very nice one as I was in CA, AZ, UT, NV on a trip a couple of years ago. Next time I want to see the dixie lands and the mid-west (home of the tornados) =D
Ok, so they sound …
Ok, so they sound pretty tough.
Again, though, it’s not good to go by the example of this video as this tornado was unusually strong.
Most houses in …
Most houses in Switzerland are made of armed beton and must have at least one or two underground floor bunker/air-raid shelter with 15 inches thick armored and really heavy doors. It’s not a joke. It’s like we have war all the time (what we of course fortunately don’t have). So it’s useless. But from the outside it looks quite normal. Houses made of wood are rare maybe chalets in the mountains. In the city the buildings are just like everywhere else.
I think tornadoes …
I think tornadoes are possible in Switzerland, just rare. This tornado was an EF5, the strongest tornado category. They can level concrete structures and tear brick buildings from their foundations. Tornadoes of this strength are extremely rare.
btw how are houses in Switzerland usually built?
LMAO… the cam …
LMAO… the cam resisted XD insane… oh yeh btw… i hope nobodys were doing theyr little things in bathroom :S XXD
holy ghost
holy ghost
my conclusion: It’s …
my conclusion: It’s better to have a tornado-proof home but no tornadoes (like in Switzerland) than homes made of wood and tornadoes every year.

It’s awesome how at the beginning of this video the trees are being blown to the right, away from the tornado. Then when the tornado is close the trees are rapidly being sucked towards it. It’s unbelieveable how fast it changes too.
