      Prisoners need hope too... redemption and salvation from sin are key tenants of the scriptures. Not many people give them any hope or chances... let alone recognize when they do something noteworthy. In California, thousands of prisoner's fight fires and never get chances to become paid firefighters... they are simply condemned for life after release.

    This brave woman had just finished describing (at the 2:35 minute stage) that 5 feet of debris was covering her legs. Instead of the interviewer focussing on this harrowing situation and offering his sympathy, he just moves on appearing to be oblivious to the devastating description that she had so lucidly made. This is reflective of an insensitive media. My heart goes out to this survivor.

    My condolences to all the families who lost a loved one in this bizarre tragedy. I am from Illinois and I've experienced one tornado there back in the late 80s and I experienced another tornado in Kentucky driving up from Georgia on the way home to Illinois in '95. It was very scary we were on the expressway and we all had to pull over so I know what that feels like it is extremely terrifying. I am so happy that Kyanna was able to keep herself, and keep everybody else around her calm, so that they could make it out of that situation and she did say that she had just taken that job and she just graduated from college so I'm really hoping that what comes out of this for her is a wonderful job opportunity because she deserves it.

The whole day before it was high humidity and very warm for December. As the storm moved passed in about 20 minutes it got really cold, dropped like 40 degrees in 20 minutes. I knew those upstream were in for a long dangerous night. RIP to those who didn't survive. Prayers for those who lost everything. Sending donation. I've lived thru so many tornados here in Texas.

    We give thanks to God for those who are alive yet we are so sad for the damage and homes lost.
    We pray that the government quickly. helps those families.
    Thank you Lord this lady was able to get reception to call for help.
    Thank you for all the first responders in Ky.and Illinois.
    May we take time and Thank God for every life that was saved
    Some will question but we can't control the weather but we must not get despondent or turn away from God but get closer to Him and Family Friends, neighbors, etc.
    This lady is truly an Angel.
    We are so grateful for every rescue person..
    The news released the names of some, who died and our prayers are with their families.
    When disaster comes it knows no color and I believe those who survive are forever changed for good.
    Even those of us whose cities were spared we feel their emotions and pray they will get counseling.
