"No one did it to us. We didn't do anything to cause it. It's...Mother nature...act of God....There's nothing we can do to change it." Wow...What an attitude. I'll pray for his family.
Climate change. Mother Nature will eventually kill humans for failing to respect her.
This just shows how everyone is vulnerable to nature's tyranny, irrespective of the country you live in.
People in the Midwest really value family treasures. That’s really awesome. The resilience demonstrated by the victims is refreshing. They’re very grounded. Seeing everyone wanting to help each other and come together as humans is amazing. Wishing them the very best from Los Angeles.
Right now I don't just see a DT supporter. I see a man and his family who survived one of the worst natural disasters in American history. In need of a helping hand. May God bless him and his family and the town he lives in for a speedy recovery.
Sometimes it takes a massive disaster for people to put away their petty differences to join forces, and help one another. Petty differences like politics and racism would be the last thing these poor victims will think about. They will cry together, heal together, and then smile together. This would be the best outcome from this tragic.
Yep!
I'm from central Ky.. I love my state. Our Gov. Is so awesome. I see this too. After all of the last 2 years and division if it takes Ky and God uses all of these people.. We all need to be united and the love from so many gives me so much hope in the Us again. God didn't cause this but He always shows up in Huge ways.. Amazing love like Jesus shows..
God bless Dawson Spring Ky. 🙏 I live in Wingo Ky, but I work in Mayfield. I'm just so very forever thankful that I'm still alive 🙏
These homes should be made of reinforced concrete and should have standards. These homes are made of mdf. That will crumble at the drop of a dime.
Sad but true . . . I really hope that they will be remade in reinforced concrete and steel, so that this doesn't happen again!
All the homes went down. Some were not great housing I'm sure, but even historic homes from early 1900's fell..
A person can do everything right, and it still can go away in an instant.
@Honey Bear Maybe. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people.
@Honey Bear you sound incredibly ignorant and naive. One day it may be you.
"We're alive and that's what's important". But remember, 200, 000 lives were lost in the tsunami near Thailand. Being alive is the only thing. But probably the fright will remain with them as long as they live
Yeah, the Sumatran tsunami was deadlier and more widespread but even if just a handful of people lose everything it's still quite upsetting and frustrating for those involved. I don't see how older people can ever recover from such a loss. One day you're living comfortably and the next day your life is in chaos. It can happen to anyone so we should be thankful for each good day.
can't imagine losing everything but the ground you're standing on. had no idea kentuckians are such humble and composed people. tough to watch them struggle like this but i have faith they'll pull it together
We are Team Ky.. We also have large mega churches in Lexington and Louisville that have taught how to pour out love like Jesus for several years. It taught me how to love others too. It is just so awesome
Your children saved your life.....they sure did ❤
This is terrible. All these pictures and stuff they collected over the years owned gone in a second.
I’ve been helping them and it’s awful but we will get through this together
Heartbreaking. Brave people.
I lost everything in Dawson Jesus saved me
@Honey Bear God bless you and your family always
@Honey Bear yes we all are . Have a wonderful day my friend.
I remember when the Tsunami hit Japan, many civilians went out and looked for lost belongings….and would gather then up and give them to the local police.
They would gather, clean, organize, and return pictures, personal items, ID’s, obvious heirlooms, and even wads of cash they found.
Many civilians knew they could not help search and rescue, but they wanted to help try to return something to the survivors.
Police saw what they were doing, and let them help in this way. It was clear they were not stealing or trying to take advantage of the situation.
An officer was just near by in case one of the people accidentally found remains or something really important (saw one elderly person turn in a wallet, everything including cash still inside, to an officer).
There is a difference on that sort of situation between looting and helping those who lost everything possible get a few treasured moments back
If you a victim of a disaster, looking for a few essentials like cloths, medicine, and food is understandable. But if you find a personal item that is 100% not yours….don’t take it.
Or to protect it give it to police of firefighter (like ID, wedding ring, birth certificate, or photographs).
If a victim, a little bit of reasonable gleaning to help get you thru a few days (find food, water, some blankets, or materials to make a temporary shelter).
But if NOT a victim or your not helping victims recover person items…..you have NO business looking thru stuff.
For Gods sake, if you are helping and find guns and ammo, don’t touch, let an officer know ASAP.
A lot of you in the comments have zero compassion. A huge issue in our society. It’s so easy to write anything unkind that you wouldn’t actually say in person on this platform, spread love please.
And,we all have to pay the insurance companies for all these horrible damages that continues to worsen every year.
Good luck getting $$ out of incs company money thay stay in biss by not paying back
I realize the people are just barely recovering from the tornadoes but why is it that no one is wearing any masks as they could get infected from COVID-19 on top of losing their homes and possessions. Not even the reporters or those nurses were wearing masks. They could have virus spikes and I'm sure the hospitals would be overloaded from people who were injured from the tornadoes. I'm just concerned for their health as they're going to need to stay strong on their road to recovery from this devastation.
They lost everything and you’re worried about a fvcking mask that does nothing. Gtfoh.
The tornado that went through kentucky was a f5 mile wide lets pray for everyone affected
Please God, bless all of these families!
#Kentuckystrong💪🏾.........we’re gonna be ok!!! God’s got us!!!!!!
Amen 🙏
With the cost of lumber you have to salvage as much as possible
So sad,Lord plese help this people, united we Stand,🇺🇲🙏😪
I've only seen this type of thing once in my life and it was in Eastern Denver and we watched the come out of the sky come down white powipe out like 2 blocks and then leave like 200 year old oak trees about 10' around at the base just gone or snapped off
Houses are not cheap. Will take years to recover not months.
"Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
and He will deliver you "
-Psalm 50 : 15
May the Lord see them through.
Now find a place to rent under 2,000 a month
They are lucky to have a storm cellar
I hope they are able to rebuild
This channel/site did multiple reports on the farmer's strike in India, just as ALL cable and local TV stations did.
Yet neither you, nor ANY other mainstream media channel has even mentioned, in passing, the MASSIVE protests that have been going on for 28 days in the Pakistani province of Balochistan.
Not even mentioned by the White House or even Ilhan Omar who is MOST agitated when it comes to the "oppression" of Muslims in Kashmir.
I find that somewhat odd.
Anyway to help you out, since you're all very busy and concerned:

30 days after Mayfield Kentucky a big homeless people
It's kinda spooky all left is deceased relatives pictures it's almost a sign their there in spirit!
why nobody talks about the structure of these houses 💀 U.S has to make laws to regulate construction because these houses are made of paper soo sad.
Standard Make America Great Again hat lol
Recross and natural relief foundations
wow
It's time to begin living below ground
Not really. There are plenty of floods around the world happening more often due to rising seas and severe weather conditions. Not many places are safe from everything nature can throw at us.
But yet the government does nothing for these disasters
God bless their soul! Such humble people
I want to help so. The bad. I have any money left. I do have thing where to take all
JESUS help.Me
Thus entire 200 miles could be rebuilt with a drop in the bucket of any one of the numerous billionaires that exist in the U.S.A.
in the interview no body blame God..... God Bless those state affected
Some Washington and it was Donald Trump at his new post to help you
Here is something to be mad about Your congressmen voted against emergency funding for natural disaster victims . & Now are asking for it . Choices matter
"Mother Nature"did it?!
We ..... that's all of us.
We are responsible for global warming.
Just gotta chance our wasteful wats !!!
Climate change did not do this. This area is known for tornados
Climate change is a scam ...the climate has always changed- its controlled by the sun cycles not humans- don't fall for their never ending fear porn & propaganda.
😧❤️🔃
Taking your child off life support....Blessings
In time give it 6 months u b forgot about just like the rest in history
See my point 😅
Record shows it's cheaper to move on than rebuild if government got the bill
That guy is a typical conservative climate change denier, our carbon footprint is written all over this disaster. This is our new norm.

@@kitsiewr what's wrong?
@@kitsiewr Binary options trade is a fast and extremely simple financial instrument which allows investors to speculate on whether the price of an asset will go up or down.
Just tired of this jerk using others' sites to push their sales pitch!
@@kitsiewr okay
You got that 🤠 on call Donald trump's you need God 🙏 and Biden
Don't worry folks !.. Joe's gonna fix it..
Where is he? I don’t see him visiting people in the tornado states. Is Joe in his basement again?
