It varies, the payout per million is commonly reported to be $800 to $1,500 or more depending on the ad rates which fluctuate wildly through the year. It all depends on who/how many are buying ads. That is consistent with what I see, sometimes I get more - especially during the holiday season when advertising activity is heavy. My annual Youtube revenue has left my ENG in the dust since 2 years ago, they aren't even close now. So much so that I embargo Youtube on ENG sales, some even online copies altogether.
They have backtracked on the monetization policies regarding storms. All but one of my videos that was demonetized automatically was restored upon appeal. You just have to be careful with metadata and damage aftermath, showing or describing injuries or private property, or any sensitive subjects. Avoid keywords like damage, destroyed, disaster, etc in the title, description or tags that might trigger their algorithm. A tornado video by itself shouldn't be a problem.
I think your content would probably do well. It's nice that FB is starting to offer monetization, though it might mean more pirates moving to that platform with our videos. Youtube is doing better with not allowing reuploads and compilation channels to make money.
