    It’s not surprising that they’re leaving out the fact that the employees were told, “if you leave, you’re more than likely to be fired”. All employers should be held accountable for making employees stay during severe weather.

      @@Phoenix12305 yep I’ve been arguing that for years, I’ve been an employee representative for my company for over a decade and an employee for over 20 years. When we have tornado/blizzard conditions, our salary people go home to check on their pets and generators. Then they just stay home while the rest of us are told to take shelter in the bathrooms.

      I truly believe that they were told that they would be fired if they left. Why would anyone in their right mind stay. And the that they are 24-7 trying to meet the Christmas Holiday demand. They absolutely were told they would be fired. I smell Lawsuits.

I would never comply to a dictator like that. Adults are exa tly that! Not company slaves. No body could ever tell me stay here you are safer in the huge aluminum buildings that are built today . Hell you may as well be standing outside. Anyway who are they to say you can't go make sure your family is safe. I would knock them out and take their keys.

    "And the light of a CANDLE shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." Rev 18:23

    Why are they showing us a twig on a tree at 23 seconds next to the factory ? Is somebody trying to say that they don't believe a tornado caused this factory to collapse ? I did notice how strange this collapsed factory looks from drone footage. You see very little to zero debris outside the factory walls. That's unusual in an E4 tornado. 200-300 mile per hour winds usually blow millions of pieces of paper and cardboard outside a collapsed building. Yet one sees almost zero debris in the parking lot or surrounding lawn areas next to this factory . That's highly unusual during an E4 tornado. Also , where's this buildings security cameras to show us all the wind blowing around at the moment the building collapsed ? You know this factory must have dozens of security cameras . Where's that footage ? Even at night time , you'd see the impact of a tornado hitting a factory that large. Where's that footage ? Id like to see it.

    🌸🌸🌸ITS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY🌸🌸🌸 please don't be afraid to reach out for help! There IS people who care even if you can't see them💛 mental health is just as important as physical!! You can be traumatised from experiencing something like that and it's best to get help so it doesn't settle in and become worse over time 💐💐

      @@jonnydanger7181 if you have the right help you don't always need medication also there's always nature's gifts to use and some medications give you back what your brain took, medication is not always bad ! Some people's brains don't work how they are supposed to so medication is helpful and necessary because without it I would be in a padded cell. No one should feel afraid of something that will help you and you always have a choice, it's never forced only suggested when needed. My doctor REFUSES to give me medication that is not good for me and if in the wrong hands my medication can be addictive but I have mine in a 7 day pack so there's no chance of taking more than what he knows is right! No good doctor will give you medication for nothing, it's always to help you

      Sadly some doctors do not care and it's awful! If you truly want the right help please know you can choose your doctor or theripist! If you dont think they are doing the right thing they are not for You! I had a theripist that kept interrupting me and finishing what I am trying to say so I couldn't see her anymore! I now have a better theripist that is perfect for me and helps me through troubles I have 😊
