Seems my bro in law has relieved me of my chainsaw. He's getting a good beating soon. Couldn't go help with that part but sold 3 guitars and an amp. Bought 6 5gallon cans of kerosene, and 4 5gallon can of gas. Sent them with my local Cartersville Fire Department who where going out there to take donations and help on the ground. Was glad I was able to pitch in. My Mother is on oxygen 24/7 and back in Feb when we had the ice storm and the electric was out for 9days they brought us gas for the generator and kerosene but we have wood heat so I told them to take that to someone who could use it. Was glad they helped so I felt compelled to help out the tornado victims the best I could.
107.7 The Eagle (Louisville) are collecting toys for Christmas to kids affected by this. They are going from place to place each day to make it easy for you to gift. Give it a listen and donate, if ya can.
Mother Nature is giving us signals , I’m really sorry and saddens me in Xmas season to watch this kind of devastation, mainly due to the children that can’t comprehend or understand what the adults are going through. God bless you all.
God bless you for the videos some of us people are not there in person to see what this area went through to you been there I know it will take time for all the people there to heal in get back on their feet in for the lost souls in the family's who lost love ones let Jesus heal you in be in your heart I know it's hard to I'm sending prayers
I will surely donate what I can afford, Brad. As you say: Situations like this, unfortunately, fall off the RADAR. We must never forger that any of us could be next. With love and understanding to all with a Soul. Thank you and everyone, as I write this heart-felt plea, who are doing everything they can, for Humanity. Stay free and safe, B et al. All of it. Rab 💔
thankyou for the update . thumbs up for brad and all those involved in the relief efforts. we had a couple tornados in wisconsin this week, but nothing like what you guys had. this is the wrong time of year, they usually don't happen till spring.
We have historically gotten tornados down South in November and December. They don't happen every year, but they are not outside the realm of possibility.
He summed it up good in the video, “that’s why I live here”. With as much that isn’t good about living here, times like these, seeing all the people helping each other makes me proud to be from here. One of my supervisors at work, his house was totally leveled and his vehicles destroyed. He lives south of Cayce in Fulton county. We set up an account at our credit union for donations for him. It’s really good to know your fellow coworkers have your back like that.
Kentucky is just filled to the brim with good people. I love the place I'm from, and I'm proud to be from here. I wonder how many people can genuinely say that.
I saw a whole train blow over. I’ve seen 18 wheel trailers stacked 3 high and some stood on end against a wall. My favorite wtf was a cell tower that was on a four lane highway 4 miles from its pad. Come to Alabama. We have it all unfortunately. Keep up the good work Brad. It is hard. I’ve been in that mess myself.
Great video. Up here in Evansville, businesses everywhere are collecting donations for our southern neighbors. It’s going to take years to rebuild, longer than it will be on most people’s minds.
thats other worldly tornados... actually not really a tornado at all more like a hurricane or a cyclone, powerwise, tornadoes don't typically derail trains like this, how can it carry it 50 feet its too heavy? this was a 6 or 7, easily, still doesn't make sense at any MPH how it can pick up that kind of weight, I don't see scrappage in the asphalt where it scraped across the road? nor in the dirt.. makes no sense at all, I could see a tornado pushing a train down the tracks, but lifting it up off the rails for 50 feet? WTH? these are 40 tons empty, in that small compact size do you have any idea the force it takes to pick up one of these and hurl it 50 foot? huh? maybe it was back to back to back lifts? just tipping them over is difficult like that they are so heavy... unreal
Hope everyone will be ok. Man, that devastation! I live in Europe,France, where we rarelly (if ever) see tornados like that (there was one in France in the middle 90's, if I remeber correctly, but mostly trees down and some wreckage)! maybe because most of stuff here is built either with stone (old buildings, like the one I live in), or they are built with cement blocks. Anw, unfortunatly I can't help much, except sending good vibes and hope. People do seem to help around and that's a good spirit, but such destruction...!!! Hope everyone will be ok!
It all has to do with Pacific Ocean currents and Gulf Stream currents over here. Those are the major affecters of weather patterns here. And the land mass is large enough to keep ground warm, while moving cold air can pass over it. This is the stew in which tornados are formed.
@@TheGuitologist Thank you for the explanation Brad! I know there is some kind of 'Tornado Alley' In the USA. But I believe it's the one that forms tornados in the Atlantic, the one I've heard of...
You can send those to her address in the description of the video. Thanks for helping out! Or if you want the gofundme link, message her on Facebook. Her FB info is there too.
@@TheGuitologist Looking at the train and weight of those train cars would have to take at least 200 mile an hour wind just to knock over a train car that was just my guess. But I'm sure they will do a study to properly determine that. By the way great video thanks.
Looks pretty messy, but they generally shove all the derailed cars off to the side to expedite rebuilding of the track. There's quite a few, so they must've been doing a pretty good clip when it happened.
@@TheGuitologist Wow that's more powerful than I thought. I lived my whole life 45 years in California until this year I moved to Oklahoma. Now I understand why people have shelter
@@TheGuitologist How do you keep your guitars and amps and other valuables safe with something that powerful? We have a shelter here too but it's small and would be too hard to get anything like that down there. Thanks Brad.
Good work, Brad. Over a week ago we had a red-flag weather warning. All the schools shut down, and all the stores too. I had a prescription to be filled but when I drove up to Drimoleague the pharmacy was closed. I was practically the only car on the road. Meanwhile, we had some high winds, but that was all. The MSM were fear-mongering again. The people over there in the States were in terrible weather, due to high activity on the Sun. Climate-change morons never mention the Sun; it would destroy the illusion. The Sun is still very active, so there likely will be more bad weather due to the geomagnetic disturbances.
Sun spot cycles create weather patterns and ocean patterns. We call them el nino and la nina events here. But they originate with the sun and manifest as changes in the ocean current patterns and, from there, atmospheric patterns.
I know all kinds of people who could use it down there. If you wish to donate it, that's good, but I think the shipping might be prohibitive on that. There is a physical address to Staci Skinner (who appears in this video) in the description of this video. If you were to send it there, she could see that someone who needs it gets it to use. If you want to contribute something like that without shipping the one you have, you can always purchase online and have it shipped there too. Thanks for wanting to help out!
See description for ways to help. All revenue from these update videos will be donated directly to relief efforts.
Love and prayers from Wales .u.k, cant find the words ...but people do still care for others....priceless
What an incredible effort. Thank you Brad, Bosco, everyone.
Incredible that anyone made it out alive !

I always knew that you are a good neighbor, not just the guy that lives next door.

I try to be. I'm sure the neighbors still don't care for the drumming. ;)

What can I say. This is a natural disaster. Kudos to you Brad for helping out.
I sure hope FEMA is doing whatever is necessary to provide housing for these folks.

It would have had to been at least a EF4 to do that kind of damage.
I thought so too. But I'm no Fujita scale expert. I know it has to do with the type of damage measured after the storm, but not sure on the metrics.

I didn't know it could do that to a train. I just moved to Oklahoma and not looking forward to tornado
A powerful tornado will throw train cars like toys.

I have a nearly new 4500 watt Honda generator, do you n your step dad know someone who could use it? I’m in Lubbock, Texas,
I know all kinds of people who could use it down there. If you wish to donate it, that's good, but I think the shipping might be prohibitive on that.
