Theres no way this was only an EF3. At least an EF4, but I really think an EF5. God bless all these communities.
I kind of agree with you.
Can you imagine an EF5???
Unbelievable what happened, for the ones who make it alive I wish a quick recovery and for the ones who didn't GOD have mercy 🙏.
It might have hit the ground as an EF3, but it got bigger real fast. Also, remember, there were four different tornadoes in the same areas that night.
They Are Down Playing It
@@alphavariant5331 I can't even imagine the terror these poor people were feeling. I've had an EF1 pass through where I lived a couple of years ago in MO, and it caused my entire apartment to shake. It was scary, and I had no where to take cover.
@@ooo66o you are probably right, because it did gain momentum in certain areas. Some of the damage is like looking back on what the EF5 did to Joplin back in 2011.
This poor sweet couple represent thousands of others going thru this. So humble recognizing others lost their lives. Wish I could help.
Maybe donate to Red Cross, Convoy of Hope, etc.? Be sure to specify "Western Kentucky tornado relief".
I think Toys for Tots has just set up a special fund for this. Don’t forget there are websites that should be used to verify legitimacy of charity before donating.
My respect to these persons, if I were them I would not be able to say a single word about this disaster. God give them strength to overcome.
And God was responsible for the havoc!
@@michaelellringer5600 No he was not. This was what the Bible refers to as "time and unforeseen occurrence". God allowing bad to happen never means he is the cause of it.
@@TheRivrPrncess I'm not going to argue with an opium addict. Religion is the opium of the masses
My family has gone through this in Texas. Lost our home. We love you. Pray for you. We have empathy for you. You will get through this.
I can't even imagine living thru this devastation and the aftermath!!! I'm so sorry for these poor people!!! May God comfort and help each of them.
I'm praying for everyone who's been affected by the tornadoes. My deepest sympathies and condolences to families who lost loved ones and friends.
Tears - you guys are amazing - thank you for allowing us to hear your story in this interview
It breaks my heart. Very sweet people, I wish them the best
Americans are nice good people despite what the world says about them ❤
Thoughts and prayers from Joplin Missouri
Looks like an EF5 to me too. This twister destroyed everything in its path.
The shock is real. I hope you find your way. Be gentle with each other. Goodness!
Wishing the best for these families
I have that same sign next to their front door in my kitchen. "The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been and the memories we made along the way." I got it from a school fund raiser and I will be praying for them every time I see it from now on. May God bless you and strengthen you as you recover!
What a nice couple, May god bless them! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
That tornado was diagnosed as a F3 omg I would hate to see a F5
This is total devastation
Prayers to all from Savannah, Ga.
for one thing dawson springs damage hasnt been surveyed yet and 2 the damage in that town looks more like ef5 since theres basically nothing left in most parts of the town.
EF5 tornadoes scour everything in their path...the ground, trees, etc.
This woman is obviously in shock still. This will last for a while but the memories will be there forever. Pray for all affected by this tragedy. It seems much more devastation for an EF 3 Tornado. My heart hurts for them. I wish I was near them to help, maybe in shelters or cooking food at a nearby food kitchen. Sad, very sad.
This is an EF4 at least
My prayers go out to all people animals 😾 and tree's 🎄😓 you're a sweet couple ❤️❤️
Turn the cameras off. Leave these people to grieve, regroup and rebuild! I find this intrusion invasive and disrespectful. This behavior is worse than that of the disaster tourists who come to watch the devastation just to entertain themselves.
Me too forcing them to move for a better lighting !!! Awful ! Poor lady she is still in shock. No respect vulture!
I agree but other people seeing this maybe able to him them.
No one is being forced to talk or be on camera. And for some, it does good to hear how people survived with what they went through.
@@belamoure see what I wrote above just now about being pissed with his hearding them around just to get better light like those goats mentioned at the end. Dude, you’re not going to get your accustomed to perfect studio level lighting all the time & you don’t need it! We don’t have to see them perfectly to hear their story which is what you’re there to get. I scrolled through a lot of comments wondering if it was just me pissed he was pushing them around. Seeing this makes me happy to know others noticed & found it disrespectful & almost harassing.

So sad..praying for all!
Nice couple. Hope they will be able to rebuild soon.
Praying for all of you. So very sad
Praying for everyone.
Praying for all involved!
Horrible....so sad walking in the front door and there's no roof 😢
Prayers from Ohio 🙏
God bless all ❤
Can you imagine hiding in your closet and when it’s over opening the door and your entire world is wiped?
Hello Melinda 👋... That's nice 😇🙏 So how are you doing?
I am happy they lived. Life is short and so sad that a storm can take it that quick.
Hello Julianne 👋... how are you doing?
god blesses all those affected and wish them speedy recovery
I have a friend that lives in KY not far from that area and she said it was a EF5.
I was in this tornado in Dawson Springs and it destroyed everything I had too . Jesus saved me!
By the grace of God. I pray these people can rebuild.
Wasn't the grace of God that created this havoc?
@@michaelellringer5600 If you think God created this you need to get a Bible and find some answers.

I can't imagine their shock after they close the closet door to what looks like a very nice home and just a little bit later they open that closet door and that is what they see. I would pitch a nice large tent in the yard and go from there.
Our federal government should have funds to help the people get their house redone dealing with insurance companies could be a lot of hassle.
Rand Paul is famous for voting against federal aid for disaster relief for other parts of the country for the past 10 years but now he has asked for aid.
@@merrittn6397 And Biden and the democrats keep handing 450k out to illegals that didn't pay into our tax system. The Democratic leaders don't give a crap about American citizens.
Not with Biden they won't. All he could muster was a short appearance just to show face
I love the personal stories, so moving. I would have liked to have heard more about their story, what they did when they came out. Less about the lighting.
How can they tell what they cant see
No way that is an ef3
Yes are right an Ef3 tornado will not tear the roof off buildings this is an Ef5 or EF6 !
@@feartheghostinme675 EF 6 would have to be first created as its non-existent
@@Mrs.Doubtfire007 no actually they do exist in planets like Jupiter and Neptune EF6 would be lowest over their and EF10 would be the highest
@@feartheghostinme675 That’s nice. We’re living on planet earth & that’s where this happened. You an take your esoteric BS & shove it up Uranus since you’re such an expert!
EF3 doesn't match the level of damage.
May God bless you all. So sorry fir all your loss.
Immediate thing is hopefully tarp the roof tie it down tight, water in the walls will make it worse.
I thought that was his son not his wife, so very sad, devastation is terrible!😰😰God blessed them, they have their life!
Seems worse than EF3.
They are still in so much shock.
Grabbed the dog...and the wife!lmao my man you are true country! My hats off to you, from rural Illinois. So sorry for your loss, you are alive so you will prevail
That's is an F5.Take a look at zenia ohio 1974.That was an F5.This looks similar.This is really bad.
How awful and the cost to build never mind rebuild. Thank God they are safe - now they need strength.
I think E5 also
No basements? So sad.
It is sad to not have a basement for protection. Some places they can’t be built because the water table is too high. I wonder if that’s the case here.
It's sad to say but the insurance will declare it An Act Of GOD and not pay off
Or the low rating given will cause the insurance to give less. This was not an EF-3.
So sad 😞
Wow
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Its more than a 3. Looks like it was bombed.
Very upsetting. No one mentioned the animals.
Were any found alive. ?
Scary. Tragic. Sad. Empathy.
During the Advent of Christmas, we sing about the birth of our Savior, baby Jesus, and His parents being told there is no room in the inn to accompany them. Let us be mindful that in so many of our states, cities, towns and communities that this massive storm system destroyed, there is now essentially a "No Roof over the Inn" represented by each. So much death, injury, shock, grief, loss and despair. Please pray for the recovery that can never come soon enough, for the victims and each family, for the leaders, and if you can, donate funds to a verified charitable organization. May God place His mighty Hands of Healing and Comfort upon all ✝️
Is the worker shortage affecting news crews too?
fox has everyone in NYC covering the great metal and plastic pinetree fire
Likely not. Kate Snow has covered 12 tornadoes & reporting demonstrates it. It’s easy to tell those who are experienced, & even easier to determine those who are not. People with more experience is the solution & that is not dictated by total number of reporters.
it was ef5
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man this is crazy looks like the place was nuked
😞😓😔
I’m late but I think I know where this house is ( I live in Dawson)
thanks for reporting ...very good coverage of this ...prayers every day being sent ,,,our schools are collecting hats coats and toys...keep up the good work!
“E of 3 damage”?
“EF 3” is probably what was meant. It’s the rating scale for categorizing tornadoes by determining the tornado’s wind speed, type & severity of destruction, & several other factors. Think of it as something similar to the hurricane category system that might be better known & heard of. There are 5 categories with EF 5 being the worse. Examples of EF 5 tornadoes are the Joplin tornado, & most of the 3 repeated pummelings the city of Moore, Oklahoma, just south of OKC, has taken. The full name is the Enhanced Fujita rating. I suspect “wonderful” Siri or autocorrect was at fault here. For example, just now when I wrote “Fujita” for the Japanese man who created it, it was convinced I wanted to say “fajita”. 🙄🤦♂️
Rebuild with concrete and steel.
Sorry, first of all, it will be too expensive. Plus, you need to build it to the same specifications as the bunker used by Hitler in Berlin during WW2 to withstand the force of a powerful tornado like this.
The lumber companies are one of the most powerful lobbying forces in this country, if the lumber companies had their way, even our sidewalks would be made of wood! When this happens, the lumber companies laugh all the way to the bank! In Mexico, it's the opposite, giant concrete maker CEMEX insists everything in Mexico be built with concrete!
@@pjeng1 Too expensive? Ever heard the term: penny wise, dollar foolish?
@@michaelellringer5600 Yes, too expensive but people still need to spend on it. Life is priceless.
@@michaelellringer5600 The US is the very few countries that uses wood as main building material for historical reasons. Other parts of the world rely more on concrete, stone, etc.
Biden needs to give American tax payer money to these Americans. Not to illegals that haven't paid into that tax system.
Rebuilding in tornado alley just doesn't seem like a great idea. Climate change is happening, these events will become more frequent.
My heart goes out to everyone dealing with all of this.
Climate change is a made up money grabber. For politicians to steal from American taxpayers. U can't pay mother nature to stop with natural weather. Wake up
Not really. It's not tornado alley. Tornadoes here are actually super rare and one like this is even *more so* rare. 99% of the people who have lived here their entire lives have never been in or near a tornado. How is rebuilding here not a "great idea"?
And no, there is no scientific evidence or reputable studies showing that "climate change" has affected the number of, nor the intensity of, storms in these parts of the US.
Tear down and rebuild
Next time rebuild Mexican style: ALL concrete construction! In Mexico, it's concrete all the way!
I grabbed the dog,and my wife,lol.
As the saying goes, “Behind every good man, is an even better lady”. In his case, he’s got 2. 😉
its Haarp guys
prayers for all ............lets see what president brandon does now
Still President Biden dear dear!
not denying climate change as a "hoax"
Likely the compassionate thing since it’s Biden & it’s what he’s known for. Doubt it will be chucking Bounty at people like throwing a bouquet at a wedding. Who is this Brandon person anyhow? Might what to see a Dr. about those delusions.
Well. You ain’t getting insurance….you’re getting FEMA . So that let’s the insurance company off the hook…fema ain’t for YOU it’s for the insurance company.
I AM GLAD EMERGENCY HELP CAME SO SWIFTLY RATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW MUCH OF THAT PACKAGE IS PADDED FOR THE SINKING BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND EXACTLY HOW MUCH GOES TO THESE COMMUNITIES. I AM MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO RESEARCH IT.N🤐🤐🤐🤐
You should do that. Research & self-education is the best solution to, “ignorance is bliss”. Might discover it exceeds expectations. Piece of advice, make sure you’re using reputable & reliable resources & your FOIA rights.
@@Mrs.Doubtfire007 I GET THE IMPRESSION YOU THINK THEY HAVEN'T PADDED THEIR POCKET..TRUST ME I DO RESEARCH..LOL I AM A VETERAN AND I COULD TELL YOU SOME AMAZING STUFF AND I AM A DIASTER RELIEF VOLUNTEER AND CAN ASSURE YOU THE CORRUPTION IS HIDDEN BUT IT'S THERE..AND IT'S NOT MY OPINION I HAVE SEEN IT🤔🤔🤔
@@GettingGoshen Ahhh… Thank you for your service. My Father is USAF service retired. On your research passion, maybe you should consider researching how to type without the all caps key on. It makes you look ignorant just like another thing that couldn’t figure out how to do it for themselves, either.
He grabbed the dog, then the wife...
Maybe the dog was closer. 🤔

I will never understand why Americans still live near TORNADO ally 😐😳🤦
I will never understand why Americans still live in California and New York (e.g. high cost of living, etc.).
@@pjeng1 😆 and Chicago it's the 3rd largest city with a huge crime rate I could never live their or visit that hell hole 😆🤣
I would prefer not to live in tornado alley. My family is from here. I have lived elsewhere and loved it but I miss my family.
It’s not an option for all & 1/3 of the country is at risk. That cuts out a huge portion of real estate from your home hunting search. I’ve lived my entire life in places where tornadoes happen regularly & have survived 2 EF 2s. If I had to go by cause of natural disaster, it would be this way over being burned alive by fire, drowned, crushed by a building in an earthquake, & not knowing if all the money, work & effort prepping for a hurricane will have been worth it if it or where it goes & risk of looting. You don’t know very well precisely where & when it’s coming & when it hits, you go fast. In some ways it’s not different from a fatal car accident that can happen anywhere in our country.
Kentucky is not tornado alley, but we have had our fair share of tornadoes.
Red state bailout. We need a new infrastructure bill 💸💵. Pass build back better.
This is not your opportunity to contribute to the personal hell these poor people are living through, or at worst rather not living through because it was their cause of death. Man had to take his 5 month old baby girl off of life support after she had swollen brain, internal bleeding from undetermined source, yet was determined brain dead per the Drs. And this statement is coming from someone who hopes to see the BBB plan succeed. Moreover, statistically, there are undoubtedly some survivors who did favor & voted for the president. Grifting is not pro BBB. This is especially true when President Biden ironically both lost his first wife & daughter at similar ages, & just before Christmas.
People in this Republican area of the country are asking for government assistance. They're not crying about "Socialism" NOW, are they?
Government assistance is not the same as socialism, especially in an emergency situation like this.
That's what I've been struggling with. How many trumpanzees there. Oh and utilize basements and tornado shelters
I would love for you to say that to one of our faces.not on your goddamn keyboard
For the past 10 yrs Rand Paul has voted AGAINST federal aid for disaster relief, in other parts of the country.... This week he has asked President Biden to fund disaster relief for his part of the country.
Where does the government get the money? What do you think, that the politicians are going to share with these folks from their personal ill gotten gains bank accounts? The money belongs to these ppl and comes from them and the generations that came before them. And if the conservatives have to pay for the democrats to get their wee-wees snipped off, then the demonrats have to (help) pay for tornados, not that they contribute much of anything of value. These folks aren’t crying like you. Most of them can build a house by themselves, pour the slab, frame it up, plum, wire, and roof it too. Only helpless sniveling bedwetters cry like you.
I got an honest question for all the prayin folk here. You praying to an almighty god to help these people, the god who in his infinite wisdom brought this upon them in the first place, is going to do what? First he kicks their butt, now he's gonna help them? Why did he do this to them in the first place? Were they evil? And those whose houses were spared were not? Seriously? Is he testing them? And that would include taking random people's lives by the dozens? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
So you normally accuse people of things without proof? If not, then you should do as fairly to God. God had nothing to do with this storm except to allow it to happen. The Bible calls natural disasters "time and unforeseen occurrence". How is he helping them? He gives strength and comfort to the survivors, helping them to endure and have the sure hope that things will get better. He helps those who died by the hope of the resurrection so they can live again and see their loved ones again. Before you comment on anything again, please do your research so you do not make inaccurate and senseless comments.
@@TheRivrPrncess So God is like a father who could save his drowning child from the water, but "allows the drowning to happen." And a prayer is like the pleading of an abused child to its abuser "to please stop" ? And life is Squid Game cheap because there's an afterlife anyway? Well never mind and thanks for responding.
Don't argue with the opium users! Religion is the opium of the masses!
@@thenavajoknow Following suggested scenario, it’s more a Father who could swim & keep them from drowning, but didn’t get there fast enough for whatever reason to prevent the final outcome of loss of life.
@@thenavajoknow it's called a natural disaster

30 tornados
Wake up.
Thats man made.
This is inpossible for nature to produce unless its artificially made.
Like snow in hawai.
California wildfires artificially lasers gunned down from above thats why the firemen saw blue beems around them shooting the area making fires.
Trees burned inside not outside.
Houses burned 2/3 the rest in tact.
So stop believing the goverment like 911.
The goverment whas behind it. Strange they found no closes on the streets or pasports or suitcases.
So stay asleep end stay blind. Or wake up
Where is ur jesus people.
Where? Those who died have the hope of the resurrection. Jesus made that possible when he willingly sacrificed his life for us. The survivors get the strength and endurance to go on and a sure hope of things getting better which Jesus Father, Jehovah God promised.
They're sucking on their opium pipes! Religion is the opium of the masses! They should all be in drug rehab programs!
