Great mother, protecting her child, protecting the kids, she didn’t care about herself! She deserves the Best Mother Award!🥈
Prayers from Joplin, MO for you….. Today is the anniversary of our town’s destruction 13 years ago. It’s horrific going through something like this.
That is the most horrific tornado. I can’t imagine what you all went through. I saw footage and it left me speechless
I live in Springfield, Mo, and this reminds me of the Joplin tornado.
@@timburks3806 Yes. Joplin’s was an E5 and this one in Iowa was an E4/E5, so just as powerful and devastating, but fortunately a smaller area.
It's not about your town it's about Greenfield who suffered, not about you and what happened in 2011. I know you want upvotes and are trying to get attention but take your trolling somewhere else.
@@user-ws4dw8kh3q Seriously?! That never even crossed my mind. Empathy. That’s what crossed my mind.
That damage in Greenfield is devastating. 💔 My hearts go out to the people affected by the tornado. That looks like
EF 4 to EF 5 damage.
max velocity channel had someone report 215 mph winds at 600 feet. there's a video that shows just a constant spinning of individual vortices (i counted 9) . when the trees look like a lawn mower hit, it's never a weak one.
EF4
@@sicfrynutyeah was that a multivortex? It sure looked like it
@@utguy381 EF5 doesn’t seem likely to my eyes at this point since there is quite a bit of debris left behind. For it to ve EF5 it has to be really clean.
@@sicfrynut also debris was thrown 40K feet into the air. One of the more stronger tornados ever recorded.
I hope all of these people are getting plenty of hugs. It's not just the houses and belongings devastation, its the mental abuse of it all. Let them know that there are people from across the pond that care. Its all just wrong
God heard her prayer. All lives spared from what chewed up these homes. Praying for them.
Hard to imagine! Looks like an instant landfill😦
First Time I ever Prayed in my Life! hopefully not your Last. Glad you made it out!
Super. God saved her but wrecked all her neighbor's house and the entire city and killed several people. You better pray every day about an hour a day to make sure that God doesn't send a tornado down on you. He's obviously smiting the states for their support of trump. I know this because Jesus told me
Amen... there's no substitute for the strength, peace and hope that can only be found in our Lord and Savior.
She didn't even know whom she was praying to ?
Lord and God are just Titles
God's name is YHWH and it's pronounced Yahweh in Hebrew and translated into English language is at Exodus 6 : 3 and Psalms 83 :18
God's Son's name is Yeshua and translated into English language is Jesus
@@jimthomas1989 May the Holy Spirit guide her to the truth in Jesus as Lord. That's exactly what happened to me 5 years ago when I was taken out of hopeless addiction and into the strength, peace and hope that we can only find through Jesus.
She experienced Romans 10:13 right there.
I cannot even recognize places that they are showing in Greenfield. Born in Fontanelle and raised in Creston. So sad
It's like a war zone.
Well said
I’ve driven through the remains of a city after a F4 hit the day after Christmas in Texas. It forever changed me and my view of safety in storms.
CAN YOU DRINK THE WATER? URANIUM INVESTED MORONS
@@kickapootrackers7255 LOOKS LIKE AMERICAN HOME-BUILDERS ARE A BIG FAIL. WHO DESIGNS THIS BAD, POINTLESS INFRASTRUCTURE? WHO PERMITS A TINKER TOY HOUSE WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY?? WHO GETS PAID?
So glad this family is ok. I saw Reed Timmers video of this huge tornado. Just unreal. Prayers for these familes!❤
Weed trimmers
🤔😂 the only laugh I got out of all
This , thanks !
During intense segments, Trimmer yells the oddest things. I'm not quite sure if it's a mild form of noncursing Tourettes or for theatrical like effect. I tend towards the latter. *He captures amazing video though.
He not ought do that.stuck ups needn't curse
Your welcum
The people of this town are hard as iron, from the interviews I've seen.
@@maidenthe80sla THEY CAN STOP BOMBING
The guy who went and got this woman and her baby to a safe place…A+
Scary and traumatizing for these people!
Thats ef4-5 stuff. Incredible you made it. Sorry about your loss. Bill from cedarrapids
Thankfully a narrow path to it.
It’s gonna get a high rating, that’s obvious. But that big thing is how devastating this is for Greenfield.
Really hope the people of that town all made it out. So sorry for your loss.
May God bless them and keep them!! 🙏😥
Wow! A person after my own heart in being the one to think clearly and help save people in an emergency! Great job and I'm so glad at least you all survived it! Looks so much more scary than the earthquakes we get here!
It was interesting to hear her say it was the only time she ever prayed in her life. I would think now she believes there is a greater force on this planet than her.
Yeah, it's called a tornado.
Funny how once you have children, you care for them way more than your self. You don’t even really think about it in an emergency, just like she said, and your only concern for your own wellbeing is so you can continue to care for them.
Honestly, what a hero. All the adults were but this woman is made of strong stuff.
So sorry this has happened to you people..my best wishes from Australia.
Unfortunately, tornadoes don't care if you believe in them.😭😭😭
Exactly !
I was doing a delivery shift to Winterset to Stuart this AM. I saw debre on the road heading north to 80. Just a few pieces of crunched up sheet metal but still shocked at how it could easily be debre from this town. I hope you all are able to rebuild fast and get back to as close to normal as possible. 🖤
WOW. So destruction so quickly. 🙏🏻 To all
My heart goes out to those affected by this Tornado in prayer! May God have mercy on these people!😢
You’re always on point @lsm always there but I do pray 🙏 for all these people and families involved such a sad deal so sorry for yall
My Heart Feels for Everyone Affected by this disaster. So Sorry!
Sending prayers to everyone affected by this storm.
We could be looking at the aftermath of the first EF5 tornado since the 2013 Moore EF5.
Nope, EF4. We don’t know how well the house was anchored
don’t rate something until official nws tornado raters officially come and say what. they have many damage indicators that tell them what it could be
F-6 ? 🤷♂️
EF4
CANT BELEAVE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO People of greenfield thinking of you all here in NZ
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😢😢❤O h!!!!!😮😢 my!!!!! I'm from Idaho Falls Idaho and when I!! See soooo m u c h sadness injuries ,I say PRAYERS to Alllllĺ❤❤ the folkes and animals I am, a retired Nurse of 25 yrs!!! Wish I could help somehow😢😮❤ I think of Youuu allllllll😊❤
God Bless You and your family! 🙏🙏🙏
Courages woman.
My prayers are with your community ❤️
F4 at least it took the homes off the foundation. God will heal .
the one house was gone with just the basement and rubble. i mean, the news teams tell you to get to your basement but what the heck do you do when this happens ?
Maybe even the first EF5 since 2013.
EF4
@@sicfrynut What do you expect when you're taking cover in a basement? Of course things are going to fall on you, that's why they tell people to use a mattress or something to cover themselves up while in a basement if there's a tornado.
A tornado is an "act of god". I'll try my luck with Satan. At least Satan wants me to have a good life here on Earth. Hail Satan!
I guess that one prayer was enough. ❤
Prayers for all!
Keeping everyone in prayer!✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏May God continue to keep you under His care and keeping no matter what!
My God! Clean up? I wouldn't even know where to start! Absolutely devastating! Sending lots of prayers to this family and all affected by this unimaginable situation.
I am so sorry ,God be with you
Praying for all of you.
I'm so sorry that so many people lost their homes. I will be praying for everyone affected
Happy for those that made it alive through this❤.
Praying for you.
You're praying for YOU. It does nobody else a lick of good. Send money if you want to help.
Please never stop praying for here on out sweet momma. God hears you and He loves you! From ashes there is beauty. All the stuff is just garbage, He gave you life.
If HE cared, tornados wouldn't happen. That simple. HE controls all. HE allows this to happen and then people thank HIM for it. Absolutely insane.
Um...a tornado is an "act of god". Why does nobody ever blame god? Stockholm much?
@timjefferson2137
God is sovereign over nature. He rules the wind, the waves, the thunder, the lightening, and the tornadoes. He has and always will have a purpose for these things. And it isn't for you or I to know or understand why.
Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. (Psalm 135:6-7)
He is sovereign over all things only for GOOD. Again, we don't need to know why, we just need to know HIM.
@@amberd2976 In that case, thank god people were killed in this storm? That's pretty effed up. Your phony god would not be worthy of admiration, even if it were real, which it most likely isn't.
Thoughts & prayers for all of Greenfield.
Just incredible in 5 sec everything you own is gone it's very sad hope all is ok 👍
Unreal yet real.
A BASEMENT IS NO STORM CELLAR!
My dad’s side of the faking lives up in Iowa, as I know nobody in my family was affected but it’s still heartbreaking. Like many say it’s like a war zone, I hope the people of Greenfield can work together to build back strong.
One thing I don't see is bolts coming out of the basement block walls, no backfill either. I live in KC area and my house is the same way a foundation just sitting on blocks that are not backfilled and no bottom plate bolted down. They should rebuild with California building standards or even Hurricane standards with a lot more bolts and straps and screws not nails. It may not hold against 200 mph winds but smaller storms it would make a big difference. One house in Florida was standing while his neighbors homes were not and he showed the straps holding the roof down and talked about how it costs more but it was worth it since he still had a home. It takes carpenters just as much time to add the metal as it does to frame a house to EQ standards.
Man its really sad to watch
That little baby has a powerful mother ,,
My god, looks like houses were damaged down to the very foundation. Absolutely insane. I'm truly wishing the best for you all in Greenfield ❤
First time in her life ever praying. How sad.
Sending prayers to everyone that have lost there homes and belongings
😢
So sad 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Unbelievable....❤🙏❤️🙏
the basements were a death trap. no safe place!
Basements are the only safe place in a tornado. Whatever happened above them, you don't want your body subjected to that kind of debris field. They may have been buried but they're alive.
Just because the footage shows a basement filled with house debris doesn’t mean every home in Greenfield was built with a shoddy subfloor.
@@derrickrr5516 Where are the floor joists? They flew away??
@@jesseback3536 Tornado just ripped them out of the concrete they were screwed/bolted/nailed to.
To have a house survive something like this, you need reinforced concrete walls and ceilings.
The basements were a lot better than no basement. However, I'd still say "poor construction": The outside walls and 1st floor floor truss should be tied to the foundation (bottom of basement walls if said basement walls are simple block & mortar).
Im sorry 😢
Really feel for you guys❤, that was massive!!!
Change your building styles for that area, stick houses do not work there
Concrete mounds/igloos that go below ground level like on Star Wars.
This monster tornado was moving at 70 mph...insane!
🙏
i used to live in missouri and remember going to the basement when sirens blasted, i knew many people who didn't bother, "nothing ever happens", they say. it's mostly people who've lived in the area most of, or all of their lives who get complacent. and talk about "praying" afterward...
As a life time Iowan I’m devastated by the pictures of these houses wiped off there foundation 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
OMG this is terrible !! Looks like Gaza! God bless you all.
The house is literally off its foundation with the foundation blocks showing! Have never seen anything like that! And the basement would have been completely exposed if a person was hiding there - wow!
You prayed and were saved.
More interviews! How did they survive that?! Wow
OMG!!!! My eyes see the devastation yet my brain can’t comprehend it!! I said to myself that there’s NO WAY there are survivors…. and then you see her and hope there are more!! My prayers to all
What a nightmare to go thru. I remember a tornado going thru MN when I was less than a year old. How do I know my age? Because I asked my parents. The only thing I recall is being rushed into the storm basement.
From a very young age I learned to know the voice of God guiding me on how to fight to survive all the asthma attacks I had since birth as I heard an inner voice at age 3-5 tell me: “Don’t stop fighting, you’re not going to die. You are going to make it. Just don’t stop fighting (to breathe).” Later I asked my Dad if he said those words to me and he said no. Then I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking before I knew Him personally. God’s mercy and steadfast love never ceases to amaze me.
How would a basement even save someone from these tornadoes?
Looks like some of these houses were ripped up from rhe foundation, expisung the basements.
Hopefully it won't suck you out of the basement as well. Maybe hold on to the water heater or piping?
@@jesseback3536Probably warrants getting a deep underground bunker with multiple exits and tools to bulldoze your way out afterwards. Actually there’s nothing that can compare to the protection that Jesus can give.
The governor may go down for a photo op, but when it comes to real help, they'll pretty much be on their own.
Just as it's been since since humans first existed.
Anyone who relies on government to save them is a fool.
_Since the damage is already done, I hope they do rate this one the first EF5 since 2013!_
*_May God be with you all.. this is truly horrific!_*
How do you survive in that basement?
It's so hard to lose everything 😞 Until it happens to you, you can not know what it feels like. The shock is the numbing feeling.
Being homeless is shocking too .
May Jesus Christ intervene in every way .
Follow Him .
He loves you .
Im so so sorry, please if there is a way i can donate money im from UK, so i feel so helpless, if you have a disaster fund to donate to i will God bless you all, god bless first responders & stormchasers who stopped to help. Love & hugs from England. 😢❤💔🙏
If I lived in tornado valley and had to rebuild, why not an underground home? Very safe, cheap to heat and cool, super quiet, etc!!
Lord, have mercy.
I will never understand not heeding a warning!
Looks like carpet bombing from a B-52 Jet.
How can we get money and supplies to the people there?
So sad
How do we help these people?
That tornado even managed to somehow destroy that basement thats insane. I guess even if you do have a basement, you're still rolling the dice.
Man where do you start 😢 Overwhelming and sad deal. Glad they made it out alive. Guess you have to look at big picture
Praying to god because of an act of god has to be the most Stockholm thing I ever heard.
I'm not sure being in the basement would have saved you there
I hope no one died but looks like EF4/5 damage
glad this young lady and everyone survived in that house
I was watching a storm chaservwhen this happened in this area is devastating 😢 im do sorry these families are dealing with this... i wish i had the funds to come out to help rebuild and rescue help
How many had basements and to most people survive even in basement?????❤
God bless her. May she learn to lean on God in her life not just when tragedy or fear strike . May she raise her child with the calm heart of knowing God does loves them both . Sometimes tragedy can give you strength you didn’t know you had and make you better. It can bring communities together. They will rebuild better than before . 🙏🏻
💗
I wonder what rating it will recieve after they survey the damage. I would guess EF4 it looks horrible. Guess it will also depend on the structure of the homes and how well anchored they were to foundation. Haven't technically had an EF5 in what 11 years? There are some tornadoes that should of gotten EF5 ratings but would be surprised if this got that rare EF5. Not a professional just my opinion and not to down play the damage and what these people went through by my comment,that is for sure.
These weather modders are beyond evil. If you think these are of nature your not paying attention. We need to get together and stop this war that is being performed against us.
0:18 there was an entire house over that hole.
Can't imagine 😢 thinking basement was the safe place?? WOW.. how he finding his shirts?? Doesn't it pick up stuff in the tunnel, throws it everywhere 🤔 total destruction 😢
😢 Oh my god. I really feel with those folks. Where are they going now ? Who pays the damage.
That is what insurance is for.
@@virgilhilts3924 Will insurance cover deductibles in this case, or do those people have to pay? All you people go on about is insurance, insurance. Insurance costs money, and on top you have to pay deductibles and then still have to wait. Their homes aren't going to be rebuilt anytime soon(if they will be rebuilt) and they are going to need to stay somewhere in the meantime.
@@haniotis3421
"Will insurance cover deductibles in this case"
-Since when does insurance cover a deductible?
-Do you even understand how insurance works?
"All you people go on about is insurance, insurance"
-Yes and...?
"Insurance costs money"
-Since when is it free?
"and on top you have to pay deductibles"
-Yes and...?
"and then still have to wait"
-Of course it takes time for inspectors to come out, paperwork to be completed and processed... What about it?
"Their homes aren't going to be rebuilt anytime soon"
-Who said they would be?
"they are going to need to stay somewhere in the meantime"
-Yes and...?
@@virgilhilts3924 Of course I know how insurance works, you fool. She has to pay for her deductible, but I'm saying it's not fair that SHE has to pay. The government should be paying every penny for that home. Her whole home got destroyed. It's not her fault. This damage was not done by her, it was done by the environment. So, who charges her for the work that she does so she can pay for her insurance and her home? Why, the federal and state governments, that's who! THEY are responsible! They are supposed to keep us safe with that money we give them, and we can't even sit in our homes in peace without it getting destroyed! Who's land and air space is it? It's America's air space! SO AMERICA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! And before you start saying they are not responsible, I need to remind you of the trillions of our dollars these morons have spent on wars instead of coming up with a solution to tornadoes, disasters, etc. There are ways, there are ways...they are researching but they supposedly don't have a solution yet.
How terribly sad. I love my stuff way too much to be destroyed by a tornado. I’d be outside and confront the tornado and say
“You shall not pass!!”
"The Three Little Pigs" is a fable about three pigs who build their houses of different materials. A Big Bad Wolf blows down the first two pigs' houses which are made of straw and sticks respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house that is made of bricks.
You think a brick home is safe if hit by a tornado? 😆😅😂🤣
