#Weather #Winter #Storms
the story about the tourists 🥺 so heartwarming
And nobody even raises the obvious question : what the heck they were doing on that bus in the middle of a historic snowstorm ...
But ... What about the global warming people ?
@@adrienlacand on top of that they were heading to Niagara Falls near US and Canada border where temperature is negative (-25) 😅I wonder where are they now? All the flights are canceled 😅. At least they had nice home made Korean food. I bet everyone got together and cooked food. Thanks to this family to welcome them.
(Mrs. Mark) I had to give this story a "like" when I saw and heard about the couple who invited ten strangers into their home for what turned out to be two days, but could easily have been more. They really didn't know for how long it would be, but they didn't hesitate. Wow! I had to ask myself, would I have even thought to do that? That is a lesson in true generosity and giving for all of us, I believe .
I'm glad they have humanitarian heart's. They may have saved, 10 lives from freezing to death. That would be a horrible death.
Can you imagine? Thinking you've stocked up enough emergency supplies to get your family through the storm, and then adding 10 people into the mix!? They're wonderful
Must be nice to have money to do that. The wealthier were able to stock up all week, buying everything out, while the working schmucks had to wait to get paid, but things were gone from shelves or travel was banned to go get stuff by pay day. Guess the tourists should thank goodness they got stuck in a rich neighborhood, in front of a dentist.
@@RR-on4sk sounds like you wasted your twenties
God bless this beautiful family that opened their doors to this family and the first responders. Prayers for all that lost their lives in this blizzard.
If it were 10-BLM, then I’d be at the door with a shotgun. 💩
It was the coldest winter we’ve had since January 2019 and February 2021!
Omg letting those people into their homes …so sweet . Great Americans! They were obviously from different backgrounds/walks of life
Hello 👋
God bless the family that opened their home to strangers who are now friends
beautiful 🙏🏼❤️
Which god do you refer to?
This is what people in Buffalo are like!
its korean people , they dont hurt no one.
@@TheDoomWizard does it matter
I wonder why god didn't bless the 50 who died from the storm.
Imagine being ignorant enough to compare a snowstorm to a war zone.
Is true my dear
What a fantastic story of that couple welcoming the tourists!
But someone tell the NY that while a blizzard is terrible, it is not a “war zone.” What an insult to anyone who has actually been in a war zone.
I winced when I heard that description. People who say that about weather have clearly never been to a war zone.
Relax. You people always need something to whine about. How about the war on crime, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, the war on terror, the (silly) war on Christmas, ...
Beautiful couple inviting stranded tourists into their home for 2 nights 😇
It's nice to hear the good stories come from this like that couple. That was so kind of them.
It's true nice story
Where are you from?
Hearing stories like these makes me know that kindness is still out there if you look and open your heart. Thank goodness for these kind and selfless souls!
Hii
Bless that couple for letting the Koreans into their home andwhat kind souls they are 🥰
That's a nice thing to do
Great news story about helping the tourists but I just still can't understand why people go out in this weather we've had advanced warning
The problem was that the travel ban should have been put into effect Friday morning. People made their way to work or appointments like usual as nothing had started yet & no bans were yet announced. So as a result of waiting until the weather actually hit to issue the ban, people got stuck at work. A lot of people tried to make it home & got stuck on the way. Some of them froze to death in their cars after they ran out of gas, some were welcomed into other people’s homes to stay warm, & some people froze trying to walk. Also, because people had to abandon their cars, it is now making it very difficult to get the streets plowed & find doa’s or survivors who r stuck & can’t get home. It’s a complete mess & even tho we deal with snow every year, we were in no way fully prepared for this much devastation.
The couple saved 10 lives! Wow! God bless all of you!
These storms make us HUMBLE!!!
Is that true
Prayers to those who passed. 🙏
So much forced division and anger encouraged by all forms of media today. I’m glad there are still Americans like the family in this video that have the heart to help others in need.
Heartbreaking. 25 deaths in cars and snowbanks.
Heartwarming. Family saving group of 10 Korean tourists.
I lost all my power, which affected the propane heat and space heaters, which then caused all my water pipes to freeze and burst. I had to temporarily rehome my ESA pets for there wellbeing and I am currently looking for a way to get us together again without out welcoming our stays. The weather can be harsh at -50°.
Bad deal. Did you let your faucets drip before they burst.
Sounds miserable. So sorry for what you're going through 💔
@@CeceeWilliams yes but doesn't help when that cold.
I can’t wait until we’re all dependent on wind and solar energy. There will be thousands dead. ☠️☠️☠️🇨🇳FJB 🖕🏻
Janene Surface. You should have gone to the Little ali-inn over in New Mexico. Plenty warm over there. Well, I'm putting out a thought of easy success for you in your recovery!
(ps...cold snow icy winter is why I left NY and moved to Hawaii. )
I feel sorry for all the persons who lost their lives! Please try to help salvage those who are unable to help themselves! God bless all the people who are helping them!
Blessings to that couple!💖
God bless all the first responders and families helping others in need. I feel safe knowing there are people such as these that will rescue if the need arises. However, everyone should cooperate and stay home safe to avoid putting our rescuers at risk!
Man I understand some cities and states aren’t prepared for this since they get a half inch of snow and the whole city shuts down, but they have to start putting precautions in place to handle this. Even if it’s rare. It would save lives. I went to college in Tuscaloosa Alabama from Chicago. When it snowed not even an inch the entire town shut down. Literally classes cancelled, stores closed, and everyone freaking out. Then there was me driving easily. It’s not hard they just have to prepare is all.
If people freak out over the weather like that, it's better they shut down and get off the roads, it made you safer. People can be dumb driving in weather they aren't used to.
I'm from a town that shuts down but not because we aren't used to it. It's because ice forms quickly and relentlessly regardless of the planning, and black ice being a major problem here, shutting down has saved countless lives. Sometimes shutting down is the best thing we can do. Sometimes.
@lkh720 I agree with what you are saying here. I grew up in Michigan and lived in Wisconsin 10 years, the last four of which I spent driving 500 miles a week in the winter, summer, etc. Now I live in Rhode Island. We do occasionally get some snow here, and people do not know how to drive in it. It's a disaster. So it's better when people in areas like the South that are not familiar with driving in the snow just shut down. It's because they don't know how to drive in it, and you cannot learn that in 24 hours.
thanks for the comment I live in central Texas and what we do get is far from what they get up north by far we generally get ice sleet and yes snow but only a few inches and yes when this happen it shuts down the entire the city, about two years we the entire state got an extreme artic blast which wreaked havoc on the entire state a lot of resident had no power or water, but yes we get snow and ice sleet here but anyway stay warm and stay safe
Yeah but buffalo is upstate ny it’s known to have some crazy blizzards so it’s surprising how it went
Being in & from Buffalo during this blizzard & having lived through others I can tell you that we were not nearly as prepared as we should have been. We are used to the heavy snowfall during winter but knowing what was coming our way, there should have been more thought put into the preparation before it hit. We may not have lost so many lives to this natural disaster. We still have people without power since Friday in freezing temperatures. It’s extremely devastating.
Thanks for hosting the tourists! You guys saved some people from my country :)
Stories like this, restore my faith in the average American. When someone is in need, we act.
People are like that all over the world.
Hello 👋
This storm is one whom has impacted alot of lives in some many ways.
First i would like to say R.I.P. to the victims.
Second thank you to the weather responders,emergency crews and electric workers. Also a big shout out to plow drivers and police. For they risked their lived to save many more lives.
This is onr storm which will not be forgotten. For we all have some kinda story from this.

May god bless your family with his grace and blessings. The true meaning of humanity and stepping up when gods children need help. Love you for just doing the right thing and leading with your heart.
Hello 👋
God bless you r family
The Korean travel agent who booked the tourist group trip to Niagra Falls in late December....🤔
That does indeed seem sketchy. Anyone with experience in that area knows that that place in Upper New York by both Lakes always gets hit hard
I don't believe in storms, this is called winter guys
Deadly winter...
I am so grateful for the family that let the tourists in. I am concerned that this online just in time culture has us forgetting how to prepare for storms.
That’s life. You choose to live in a place with that climate and potential for storms like this, it is what it is. No different than knowingly living in hurricane territory.
This is such a ridiculously dumb thing to say.
@@StonedCabbage How so?
@mikestrappelli8098 because you make it sound as if we shouldn't have sympathy for people that froze to death on Christmas on all days. I enjoy colder climates too, I can't stand the heat and others feel the same. Also some people don't really get to pick where they are born and where their families live, not everyone can just move because that also requires money, let's not just assume everyone is in good financial situations.
Every human on the planet can’t live in only the ideal locations. So we have a bit of sympathy for those that don’t.
@@StonedCabbage I’ll battle you on this. Any person has the ability to live anywhere, family aside. Of course having family close is wonderful..but financially it’s possible (maybe not luxurious) to live anywhere you’d like with a stable income. Although not comfortable, easily achievable. There’s also no obligated contract to live where you are born…unless one is significantly less fortunate in various circumstances, I can see where you’re headed toward. Moving does require means of financial support. Any one can do anything to be honest. Nobody is ever “stuck” or “tied” to a certain geographical area or situation.
People are amazing. Strong. Generous. Frozen northeast, and freezing temps at the southern border. Disasters both. Our president will do his part from the island of St. Croix, where he is impacted by the horrors of global warming.
People anyone living in the USA KNOWS Buffalo is known under, and the worst freezes and buried in ice and snow !!! every every every year come on people!!
To those near the hard spot of the blizzard stay home please. It’s not worth it. Just stay home
I guess Global warming decided to take a break. 😂😂😂
Don't guess. Climate change and global warming doesn't mean everywhere will get warmer, and extreme weather events have long been predicted as a feature of global warming.
Do not become a victim. Please stay home! Do you want to die? No!
Yeah my fiances grandpa just dies at 430 am on chrostmas...its all just so devastating and awful...his mom is now planning the funeral...it's been such a hard Christmas this year
Blessings to that family but I’ll be honest, what the people are doing out there? Seriously? Why putting yourself and everyone else’s in danger? When people are going to learn? SMH!!!!
I now have a little more faith now in humanity!! Awesome people doing awesome things!!!
Hello 👋
For all the wicked/ evil people out there....They are really good people out there. God bless that family that took them in for two days.
There is more good then evil we need to clean house in Washington DC
@@bettybridges1635 Exactly! That stunt Abbot pulled with those migrants is just evil.
The loud minority vs the quiet majority.
American exceptionalism, people dying in the streets and in their cars. We rely so much on government and others for our survival and well-being. Even rely on others to tell us our histories. We have to protect ourselves and each other, study and learn and become intelligent, because relying on other people to take care of you or look out for your best interest obviously is not working in any front.
I love to see snow in the winter, it's so beautiful those white landscapes... at distance, of course, for I wouldn't never live in places with snowfall! == (gilberto lehrer - from brazil)
Hebrews 13:2 kjv
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
"But since these foreign settlers did NOT worship the LORD when they first arrived, the LORD sent LIONS among them, which KILLED some of them." 2 Kings 17:25 NLT. Praise the Lord!!!
@@Danny451
Are you suggesting that these visitors are invading this country?
The Scripture you referenced is about an invasion.
Electric cars can save us 😂
Just don’t drive them in the extreme cold or heat. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mother Nature fights back
Slaps the face of global warming
God Bless you for opening up your home
Same here too
Majority of them deaths could have been avoided if people were smart enough to stay home
As much as id hate go agree. I agree.
Yeah I was wondering how’s their 50 death
But some people didn't have a choice. Many of us had to work.
Most of the deaths are from people living on the street (homeless), they freeze to death
@@newwave1343 that’s understandable
so sad to see in this very bad situation 😞
Oh no! We had a significant warning and we didn't prepare at all!
Wow. Smh.. I wonder what happened to the homeless people, there or anywhere else that's experiencing frigid temperatures.
What I can’t understand is this storm was announced for about a week and people had enough warning what was coming
Why were still so many people on the road? Exposing themself to the weather
I don’t get it
Time and time again
What is wrong in people’s brain
What part of a ciclone they did not understand
I'm guessing that the people who own the tour company the Korean tourists were with aren't from here, either. And probably weren't paying too much attention to it. As for the rest of the people who are out on the road, I have no idea
This is terrible. Quick, someone send a trillion dollars to Ukraine!
Where are all the electric vehicles coming to the rescue?
still dying of blizzards and drought in earth 2022 and planning on Mars and beyond. Ironic. Conquer earth first.
First responders very noble
Why the Raytheon, Lockheed not develop something to encounter this than only build things for destruction?
Omg
God bless
Snow trucks 🚚 are not lucky either 0:48
Definitely globally warming! I wish we could go back to the time when it was just the worst storm in 50 or 100 years.
That’s probably a fraction, very sad.
How many Emergency Room visits have been weather-related? How many had severe Frostbite (esp if required any amputations)? How many people sustained permanent injury?
Hello sunshine how are you feeling today, It's my pleasure communicating with you here where are you originally from??
And they say the planet is warming up.
What a nightmare!!! ☹☹☹
I wonder how many homeless lost their life?
This needs to be found out
Stop pretending you care
@@hm3drake35 I can’t speak for him, but I care ❤️ Not everyone is heartless like you. Happy holidays 🥰
They can build igloos .. they can brand em with the “NY” logo!
They should move to Florida. FJB 🖕🏻🇨🇳
I think the natural disasters in the US are generally harsher than the ones in other developed countries
I thought the same. I guess it’s time for usa to examine their better potential.
Nature is one Master no one can fight against. 🤔😑😶
That's okay as long as Ukraine gets American tax dollars.
Japan might be worse.
They have it all. Earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, drought, floods, heatwaves.
@@CT-vm4gf because the country is so huge.
God bless you the name of Jesus Christ to help the people the🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Fun fact: If those were blacks in the bus, do not let them in.
Everything in your home would be destroyed in 2-days. FJB 🖕🏻🇨🇳
@@barackblows1942 or just gone when you wake up in the morning. Lmao
@@johnrambo1349 They were out looting during the storm. Disgusting.
I feel for these people. I got to say that it's best most people don't live in North Dakota. That is a typical winter here. We just got 2 and a half feet and artic temps. The temp never went above 13 below for two weeks. Wind gusts we're 50 mph for four days straight making wind chills 50 below zero.
Pa dreadful cold on Friday thru Sunday
must be insane to live in wny
Not to give any ideas. Imagine someone or group taking out power transformers. Our infrastructure is so fragile.
Where's the global warming?
It wasn't a white christmas this year so we should be looking good,N.E
More snow and storms are coming to you guys. We are going to get some winter weather here in Cali for the next couple weeks so should get nasty once it gets outta California.
Hello 👋
God bless
American greetings even if it is not the case is in the moment given the weather conditions
Thanks to those that sheltered people in the bitter cold.
No thanks to Joe Byden for shutting down the Keystone pipeline and offshore drilling that tripled the cost of home heating oil and gas, as well as electricity generated by same. We could use that global warming right now. Of course, we know that you and your family are toasty warm because of the taxpayers paying your utility bills while being unable to pay their own. 🌨️💨🥶🤒😰
A war zone how the US relates to most things…..
50 out of 331 million... so horrible
50 people is still 50 too much. And it could increase. And you don’t know who is gonna die.
Stay home. Be part of the solution.
Leave home. Be part of the problem.
Doesn't this remind you of Titanic??
God bless them
God Bless is all, now it snows in winter so it means that the world will end very soon
Not world honey it's ny
@@pokemonpika547 👍 happy new year
And people still live on the coast …every winter it’s like this
They need to migrate, some parts of the 🇺🇸 are just not meant to be inhabited in my opinion.
Allah pak tanu sehat dy
I love summer...
In my state, the only snow we seen was little to no snow at all. I feel bad for those who died in such a brutal storm 😔🙏
Sadness new life new friendships
The people who died were the homeless who stayed outside Poor people they froze to death
What's the homeless count???
That was nice to invite the tourists and keep them warm !
It's sad, but probably the majority of the deaths will be the homeless :(
Yeah this Christmas Storm was bad
When you count the homeless death toll will double. Sad
RIP all the travelers that died inside their cars, the homeless, the homeless pets, songbirds, wildlife. God is not great. God is a sadist killer many times over.
Wow...All this Global Warming!
Beautiful
avec our candoleance ,,and happy new year pen freind from boutrik kader and its not final from world dad 🎄🎄🎄
