This is probably the worst story I have heard yet. How do you not cry after hearing that? All of this is so extremely sad.
Kudos to the reporter who let the poor man speak and explain without interruption. There is such dignity in this man hurting and in full schock.
Absolutely. You said what I was thinking but couldn't find words for.
Well said!
That's a strong man. To feel his heart crumbling as he's telling what he saw just broke me. Much love to you sir.
Me too. God bless him, Poor soul .
Prayers to the lost life’s ; the 4 children and mother who died; may God give the community strength to get thru these horrors of children dying and devastation all around them , this is surely hell on earth.
That man is now experiencing PTSD. Six years ago I went to visit my Mother who I found passed away in the bathtub with the water running, and her beautiful home a disaster. I had nightmares for years afterwards. Just when I thought I was getting things together, I'd have another nightmare, which would set me back stuck in grief and despair for days. I wish for him Peace and Strength.
Bless your heart too
Boy, do I. Hear ya.
Empathy from Western North Carolina
Respect
Have had severe PTSD for sixty five years.
Know well what you described.
Praying for love and peace to you. It will get better, you will get stronger. Bless you.
So true. I suffered the loss of two family members eight years ago and I have still not recovered and doubt I ever could. The loss and pain was almost unbearable for the first 5 years and has become somewhat bearable now, but it's like a bandaid on my heart and still very vulnerable and raw. I can relate so much to what these people are going through.
Sorry to hear about your Mother, I offer my condolences. May you find peace of mind and spirit.

Thank you, I'm OK now. I've had so many close calls with death. Three major car accidents, getting electrocuted twice, and so many other incidences, I'm sure I already had PTSD. I'm wondering if that makes a person more vulnerable to it again.
My heart breaks watching him struggle with his emotions. He's going to need some counseling after it's all said and done. Peace be with you all.
@coastal-tan I am truly sorry you had such terrible experiences with getting mental help. I had good experiences that helped me find some peace and healing. So not all of them are charlatans or control freaks.
Prayers and peace to you, I am glad that despite it all you chose to live.
Yes, he is going to need counseling. It’s devastating.
He needs lots of loving. Thank goodness he is staying with his daughter.
This video is a good way to figure out if someone is a SOCIOPATH. I'm pretty tough and rarely cry. But by the end of the video I was sbogging and just wanted to hug that guy.
Yes, he will...
That poor guy has PTSD🥺 It’s an awful disorder, the flash backs, the sounds and feelings that trigger you, I hope he gets the therapy he needs. RIP to all those that died x
This is sad. That man is distraught because he couldn't help. You will get through this my Brother. 🙏🏿
I hope the reporter gave that man a big hug after the camera stopped. So shocking, so sad
That's what I was thinking. I hope WaPo would allow that. That poor man needed a hug.
This poor man is in the final phases of shock when the hell to follow for him is just beginning - I pray he makes it through this… We cannot even imagine what he’s experienced. My heart is broken for him & all the lives lost. So sad.
We are praying and donating to their cause. Please consider donating if you can. Those poor families.
Seems to me the death count has to be much higher than they are saying. To the orginal poster, sorry your famility is afflicted with autism, but it was caused by vaccines. None are EVER needed, we've just brainwashed to think they are, and now one in fifty of our chilren have autism, cancer, diabetes and more from them. What happened with this weather is proof of the geoengineeredweather. Sick, sad, devastating, and there will be more to come across the country. All part of theplan.
@@bluelagoon1875 amazon owning the Washington Post means they won't report the missing people at the Amazon warehouse because Amazon refused to let their employees leave or access to their own cell phones
Your thoughtful and kindhearted.
I intend to contribute to the Toy drive. They have a great First Lady who has initiated this mission. I hope they can accept monetary donations in lieu of physical gifts as I live in Minnesota. We had the first ever tornadoes in December also at nighttime tonight.
Donating on a large scale Not to an individual. So much for "the American Dream"
The way he saying idk,just breaks my heart 😭😭
There are no words how unbelievably sad this entire situation is. Prayers said for everyone. I cant even imagine the pain. Heartbreaking
I hope you guys offered resources for mental health. This man is literally asking for help. ❤️
My heart breaks for everyone. This poor man is traumatized and will never be the same.
Oh my, the lost of children is so heartbreaking😥😥
Those houses are not secured to their foundations and made of cheap plywood. Modern tornado resistant homes or old well made homes handled this strom just fine.
Not everyone can afford a tornado resistant home.
@@bbrezze3454 Looking at house comps compared to line of destruction, many CHEAPER older homes still standing. Using super cheap plywood that costs same or more than older well built house is a modern day failure in America.
@@sidehustletips A 100 yr old home was leveled to the ground. This was not a norm tornado. Plus these are poor rural people.
You people sound so condescending and have such know it all attitudes. Wouldn't have mattered. It didn't matter cause this tornado was exactly what they called it a Beast. These poor souls didn't have a chance if they were caught in it's path of destruction.
Wow I am speechless... I cant imagine how helpless these families must feel like and the amount of pain from their loss!!! My condolences and may they RIP!!
Don't expect Amazon owned Washington Post to mention all their employees killed and missing because they were not allowed to leave to access to their own cell phones
From bangladesh .im very sad . 😭
You aint seen nothing yet. This is just the start. Al Gore warned all of us, and the right mocked him.... Nature bats last.
@@Eidelmania Al Gore....wasn't that the dude that organised worldwide shows for 24 hours, using up so much electricity they could have run the whole continent of Africa on it for at least a year, all to let the world know whe shouldn't use so much energy?
@@onemanarmyoma0155 Funny. You bag on Al Gore yet make music from 1995..
I pray this man gets through this and can overcome the despair from all that he witnessed. Sending him a hug. He must remember he helped by giving those children a temporary resting spot in his home, even though those children had passed.
He was an Angel.
I’m crying with the man who spoke. May he have restful sleep and help to get through this. 🙏❤️
I pray that man and son get help to dealing with the mental pain he and his son r suffering. God bless you
Poor man will have ptsd the rest of his life. God please help him and everybody who was a victim of this mess.
Who caused the tornado and deaths? 😶
@@BigBirdy100 that depends on how you look at it, are you trying to insinuate that God caused the tornado and deaths?
@@BigBirdy100 Man & satan
@@timothywhitman3128 yes that's exactly what this guy is trying to ask.
@@levornspencer5752 LOL. Man caused the tornadoes? 😂😂😂
Save it Mr Conspiracy Theorist.
Fyi, no such thing as the devil.
Aren't you relieved? 😂
The gentleman in the interview was heartbroken, those images will be with him for some time.
I cannot imagine losing so many at one time. So many children… devastating!
😢
Words aren't enough...
4 kids.. so terrible. I do not think I could recover. So tragic
Seeing that man talk about the parents bring in the dead to lay in his house, in this video, breaks my heart
I really appreciate you showing people telling their stories without showing reporters. Horrible story told sensitively. Thank you. Love and comfort to all.
The survivors will suffer PTSD too. Can’t get those images out of your head !
Many people will have what's called "survivor's guilt."
give that man a big hug and prayers
This is too painful to watch.... :'(
This will be with this man for the rest of his life…. My heart just breaks for him and the families hurt by this tornado 🥺💕
This poor man seeing so much heartache.I hope he's ok.
This is heartbreaking. My sympathies and condolences to all these people that lost loved ones and prayers for all that God will help you through this trauma.
I am so so so sorry to the gentleman who is traumatized from seeing all those sweet kids taken by the tornado!! My heart goes out to you all!!
Empathy and compassion costs nothing.
I'm in tears cause I cannot help.
If you're not moved by the losses millions numbers n our country have sustained this past year alone.....
There's no hope for you
many more to come. this was just one more, including surfside... all part of the plan.
@@bluelagoon1875 God's in control
Not us.
Whomever has a plan to do any harm shall not prosper
All we can change is ourselves 🌹🐦
Watching from England, and my heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones. God rest their souls xx
Hi dear how are you doing?
Bless his heart. He is suffering now too. PTSD. He will need to reach out for help to survive that. we're praying for you all.
My goodness. This was hard to watch. These poor people will never forget this. I still can't believe this happened in my home state, 😢
It is one of the most devastating and horrific 'events' we've seen. I think the death toll is much higher than we know, and to think that it was caused by geoengineering the weather makes me even sicker. There will be many more of these pplanne 'events' in the coming months. To implement the ahgenuh for climate change and to control and eliminate us. Sad indeed, especially that so many STILL don't have the slightest clue that we are under attack by our own gvt.
Me either bowling Green is my late mother's hometown Louisville is mine
Nothing is worse than losing a child. We lost a 17 year old in a car crash. 28 years ago and it still hurts to think about that day.
I hope everyone in AR and KY get as much help as they need
and IL too 🙁
I can't imagine what's it's like losing a child, my heart goes out to this family! Praying for healing and strength!
Kentucky has some of the nicest people and y'all are in my prayers. I cannot fathom their grief.
Whoever is building houses in tornado alley without basements needs to be stopped
Unfortunately we can't have basements, it's to rocky and floods all the time, but I do think All homes here need to be built with storm shelters for sure.
It's not tornado alley... yet. It seems to be shifting, though. Many of us will build basements and such after this but ours is such a poor state that many won't be able to.
@@dM_gH absolutely, LA, MS, AL, GA, NC & SC, KY, TN, OH, IN, MI, and hurricane induced tornadoes for east coastal states.
@@positiveG Gotcha. I believe most of us don't see it as tornado alley yet, but many probably will now.
@@emariadrake I can't help but wonder how much of the donated cash will be pocketed and how many supplies will sit in storage containers for years to come. It's happened in the past, and especially now, with the intent of this storm/event... it's much more plausible. We're living a real life horror movie at the hands of our own government,. And now Bien is going there to deliver boosters??? Haven't we already lost enough American lives to them? Last count well over 4 million, but that info isn't even available as of 2 months ago. Wonder why they hide it?
This is just heart breaking. I cant breathe. I feel for these people and I just want to help. Thats all I can think about.

We had tornadoes hit our area back in 2018. Same time of year. If you can get down there, do it. We will never forget all the people who came together to help our community.
@@cleo4356 I am with the cajun navy. We are def sending help
@@bluelagoon1875 News flash....No Government on earth can control the weather(e.g. tornados, hurricanes) which will cause increased destruction(e.g. homes, death). Global warming is real...condolences to those who lost love ones.
@@daw7773 newsflash, you are ignorant to the truth. go research it yourself.
what is being done to help people with their mental health issues from the trauma from these tornadoes???
Dude with the white glasses had me holding back tears.
Yeah, I imagine there would be some PTSD after going through something like that. So heartbreaking.
That storm has convinced me to take more precautions when there are weather warnings. We had severe weather in Iowa tonight.
We here in NE too. But ours were nothing like the tornadoes in KY. We had damage yes but no town was destroyed and no lives lost that have been reported.
Praying for those who lost loved ones and property.
Praying? Dude god did this to these people lol why would you pray to him 😂?
That is so terrible. We need better designed homes to handle the worse case scenarios. It needs to be mandatory. Tax deductions or something. Its only going to get worse.
seems you don't understand that this was geoengineeredweather, and completely pplanned and carried out by the gvt. we are under attacka nd ppl like you don't even realize it.
@@bluelagoon1875 not true, it is climate change. That is backed by science.
How very tragic, I am praying for these people.
They need our prayers y'all let be in prayer for them . This heartbreaking. Father in Jesus name please give these families strength .and let's us prayer warriors do whatever we can to help our brothers and sisters in Jesus name. I hurt with them right now lord I share their pain and my heart is going out to all of them.
Amen!
@@cleo4356 Amen sis
Amen. God bless America!
Yes but I want to go there and physically help with anything I can I am in New York do you know how I can volunteer to go?
@@Meimei-os2nk I'd reach out to all the local churches and see if they have any groups going. Alot of times churches will do that. You could possi py join them. Also, the Red Cross has a volunteer service.
The devastation from this storm is not normal. There was NOTHING normal about this.
100% hhaaarp
Or natural or real. Don’t believe a word of it
Agree.
I am sending prayers to the families that lost so many children and those that lost any family at all. May God give you the strength to carry on. Love and prayers from Paducah, KY.
My heart just breaks for these families, this poor man, is so distraught, just devastating.
😥 so sorry. From sri Lanka.
And here in Texas, we’re complaining about 60 mph gust and winds! God bless these people! 💔
Y'all have had some rough years weather wise and NOLA
Still, cause we know struggle, we are able to empathize and gain perspective.
God bless you brother 💯💐🌹🐦
Don't worry texas gets tornados too hopefully a BIG one will head down their in the spring 😆

If I ever lost my babies, death would be so inviting to me. I couldn't imagine a single day without them nor would I choose a day without them. It's hard to fathom the amount of utter despair the parents are feeling. I hate just sitting here sending thoughts and prayers but what else can we do but support these people from a loving distance? ❤ 🙏
Just have more. If Joy gets taken away, bring it back in the world with another one.
I don’t see how you’re supporting people from a loving distance. If the parents who lost children see your comment they could think taking their life is justified. “Death would be so inviting to me” ..that’s how I seen it anyway.
@@kayla7562 you're right. And lots of OTHER people who have lost loved ones, are ill, have depression... will be reading these comments. People can be so thoughtless.
You're sending morbid, depressing thoughts with your comment. Think before you write or speak.
@@MrMJmusicLover anyone who brings a chld into this world is sick.
My heart hurts so much for these people and the outward grief this man shares of his own shock and future grief he’ll have. My heart weeps for them. So sorry for your loss. So sorry 😞
God, these poor people are in shock and they will need a lot of tangible help, plus counseling and prayers.
The love coming from that man is powerful. Thank you sir for being a compassionate witness. You’ve opened so many hearts by letting yours break. May the angels send you comfort, soft and swift 🕊

Poor guy, he is so traumatized by everything that he's gone through and seen! Such tragedy! So much suffering! 😢😢😢
God bless all affected by this storm ! R.I.P. to all of them🙏🏼🌹
prayers for the family, and the children, may they rest in peace
OMG I'm so sorry. My God this is horrendous. There are no words. Prayers.
Franklin is helping you all, we are so sorry for the loss and heartache everyone is going through in bowling green! My heart is so broken. I’ve outrun so many tornadoes in my life growing up in Ohio valley. I’m deeply saddened for everyone!
That man has PTSD. I hope he gets help.
Prayers and condolences to all the families. 😥💔🙏🏼🕊
I just want to hug this man. Not sure if I heard wrong but was it two separate families that are brought up? One mother brought 3 of her (deceased) children to his house. And then separately 6 children and the mother of 11 family members, died? Either way, it's traumatic for all involved. As someone that has had their home go through multiple hurricanes, in different states, I feel for these people. They're in such shock, you want to break down but you're so lost, your entire community is so lost, you don't know where to begin. I remember knowing I needed help, mentally, emotionally, but when I sought it from counseling, I ended up being the counselor. Nothing like having a psychologist open up to you and crying on your shoulder as they felt so lost. We were (still are) both moms and just connected on that level, as you can't break down in front of your children. When your whole community is distraught and lost from losing their homes, that's when you learn how strong everyone is and the sense of community. I hope the surrounding communities, uneffected, as well as the rest of the US can lift these people up and provide everything they need to get back on their feet as they work themselves towards the light in the darkness.
Super sad. Damn.
Heart breaking prayers for everyone
~~~> My heart aches and tears are streaming down for this occurrence. GOD give those who tried to help and did, the families, neighbors a STRENGTH and PEACE of mind. In JESUS name I pray🙏, Amen❤️
Amen...
Through it all god will heal a heavy heart.
The family who lost 4 children is from Bosnia! They came here us refugees, survived war but it wasn’t meant to be! So heartbreaking!💔💔💔
Omg, that is so sad. :(
My deepest condolences to all the families that lost their loved ones.
I'm without words, I pray for all who lost loved ones, injured or affected, that they find peace and comfort somehow. 😢🙏💜
Absolutely Heartbreaking! 😪
My heart is breaking into pieces..mother and her children how sad..may God give you all strength to cope with this devastating situation..
That poor man has seen too much. I hope he gets through it.
My goodness, the emotion in his voice are so palpable that I almost felt like I was there. This is incredibly sad. 😔
Incredibly sad. I feel so terrible for everyone affected by the tornado. Washington Post - please post (verified) local organizations that are taking donations to help these families.
Heartfelt condolences to all the families 🙏
I'm so sorry . Rip . My your heart be comforted somehow
