      @@sky173 I know. It was humbling to see the tornado, frightening when he said there are people, petrifying to see the mom running for him begging for help with her injured baby in her arms, another injured child and injured dad running to Freddy. Pup running with them. Hearing all of it in the car was unbelievable. But most of all, SOOOO darned proud of Freddy, his composure the entire time.. I was so proud to be a subscriber to his channel. Freddy was so focused on getting them help and fast I think he forgot the live stream was running. Once it shut off, I switched to Connor's channel. He was heading for Freddy at the hospital. Once there and he found him word came another tornado might be dropping from the storm and heading right for the hospital. All I could do was pray Lord please no. Connor went to check the storm and he kept saying please no. Once he saw the storm was moving out he radioed back to Freddy letting him know they were safe there. Hearing Freddies voice, I knew the reality of what had just happened was hitting him. Connor must have sensed it as well because he said he was going to end the live and go be with Freddy. Today, Freddy was riding with Connor chasing storms. What a day.......... Freddy is a hero, blessing, angel and a million other things all wrapped in one. I watch Ryan Hall and found Freddy a while back from his channel. I saw Ryan donated $10,000 to the familes go fund me and also commented to Freddy on X praising his heroic actions. I am a proud subscriber of Ryan as well.

      I was watching the stream live and Freddy McKinney was focused on helping the family. McKinney's father called him as he was driving the family to the hospital and asked him if he wanted to end the stream and Freddy said yes. The stream was stopped remotely from his computer at home, as Freddy was talking with the family and driving them the hospital. A few minutes later the stream was "unlisted" (only a direct link could view and not on his page listing) and then the stream was made "private" after that so it can't be viewed at all.

Thankfully he did because the mom came running toward him with her little girl in her arms, her bloodied son following behind, and the dad limping to keep up. Before taking off for the hospital, McKinney told them to call their dog to the car. It was truly a heroic and selfless act.

    I understand the family not knowing or remembering Freddy McKinney's name....they were still in shock. But I find it extremely disappointing that the news team didn't take the extra step to research Freddy's name. He dropped everything he was doing, and he got those people and their dog to the hospital as quickly as he could instead of just waiting for an ambulance....no questions asked. And the reason so many people already knew that they were at the hospital was because of Freddy's stream. He had about 12k people watching when he rescued them. I was one of them, and it was the first time a live stream brought me to tears. Thank God that he put Freddy in the right place at the right time!! 🙏 And God bless this family 🙏

      I would love to know how to donate to them. God, watching this, especially seeing the little boy all bruised up in one eye, and his Momma sharing their miracle survival story is heart wrenching. God bless the storm chasers, and whomever Freddy McKinney is, may God pour his blessings and protection on him and the people involve in helping all families in need.🙏

    I saw it live too. Most storm chasers help before police or medics get there. They do not move on until authorities get there and when it is devastating they may even come back after raising funds on their channel to help those who need help. There are whole communities of people who support the people who need the basics to just get started again. And some crews even supply man power to help.

    *I'd like to use the Lambert's story to promote a key tornado safety precaution that is not always communicated.*
    1. The overwhelming majority of life-changing injuries to victims of a tornado are injuries to the head caused by flying debris & collapsing walls/roofs.
    2. Since large hail driven by strong winds can blast through windows & even through walls & roofs, and it can cause serious injuries to the head.
    3. These sorts of threats are especially concerning for infants & children, because their skulls tend to be thinner, more flexible & less capable of resisting impacts.
    4. So, every house should have enough hard helmets for every person to wear when dangerous weather approaches. It can be a baseball, hockey, or football helmet...they all are designed to protect the head from intense impacts. (....a hockey helmet with a face shield would probably be ideal..) The helmets should be stored where they can be accessed immediately when severe weather approaches, along with thick blankets & mattresses which can help protect the body.

Even if you're not participating in search and rescue, if you stumble in debris and fall forward onto your hands, you need them protected from splintered wood, torn metal, broken glass, exposed nails, et cetera. Keep them all together in or near your safe spot when you aren't using them for other things.
