Doomsday: History's Most Dangerous Podcast

The Greensburg Tornado Disaster of 2007 | Episode 91


Listen Later

A wind could remove your hat. A stronger wind might steal your lawn furniture. The kind of wind we’re talking about today renovated Pre-War and Mid-Century Midwestern homes into more “open concept” dwellings.

On today’s episode: we’re going to take a look at what happens when you’re visited by a storm so powerful, they invent a new scale just to define it; we’ll see what it feels like to have your house reduced to the consistency of straw and blown away in what many call the most frightening thing that can happen to you in your lifetime; and we will learn to what degree a cow can become turned inside out and forcefully eject its organs.

And because you’re listening on Patreon, you would find out how badly we’d react if Superman’s escape pod approached Earth in 2025; you’d learn about the absolute physics-defying insanity left in the wake of our planets winds; you’d find out how bad tornado warnings were when you weren’t allowed to use the word tornado by law; you would learn the entire process of folding lungs from the inside out to right side in and how to successfully re-insert them; and we would talk about how your bad day at work doesn’t compare to 9/11 dogs.

I have to say, we’ve done some pretty sick things on this show, but very few in recent memory begin to touch on our poor bovine reassembly section. I edited it while eating, against my own cardinal rule. But rules, like thoraxes, are meant to be broken. To help make the point, this is also the first and only weather-related disaster we’ve ever done where we didn’t make fun of meteorologists. Furthermore, in spite of everything you’re about to hear, this disaster didn’t have the kind of death toll you maybe associate with our stories. Its shocking. Admittedly not as shocking as what I’m going to tell you about lungs, but that’s all part of what makes it all so special.

I also want to thank my listeners who’ve already contributed to our Doomsday Dodge Caravan Mobile Studio & Command Centre Fundraiser to replace the spite car, which, sadly, exploded spectacularly. As a result, we are working towards the purchase of a new/older Dodge Caravan. It’s kind of on brand for the show. If you have a buck and want to help the cause, you can visit

As part of the fundraiser, my daughter will be animating the death of the highest donator as a bonus. You can find out more on our socials.
