@@wadewilson8011 This is so true. I had this happen to me when a woman was attacking an elderly woman at Walmart while stealing her purse. I heard her screams and came up on a group of at least 15 people just shocked and watching it happen. Before I knew it I was in the middle of the two women and I had grabbed the one attacking the elderly woman and I had her by the throat pushed up against the freezers. I don't even know how it happened. The police came and arrested her.
Thank you so much for allowing this woman the time to pour out her story without interrupting her. Such a powerful story and the most tender job of reporting I've ever seen. God help her and the people of Rolling Fork.
Tracey is an Angel!!!!! She yelled “cooler” ,.. they obeyed her command and everyone survived!,.GOD BLESS TRACEY AND HER HUSBAND🙏🏻😌❤️ I was crying through out this whole video almost 😥
If anyone needed a hug, it was her. She already lost so much. She is a hero in her own way I wish nothing but the best. I wish I lived closer to help clean up or help the community.
That woman is such a sweet, precious soul... and in fact, that whole Town was like that. Terribly sad, heartbreaking. I’m grateful that group survived, and the man who helped them get out. I pray for any others, animal and human, who may still be trapped.
Don’t think I have watched someone recall what they went through and you can see and feel this woman’s pain and emotion! My heart goes out to her and the town. I will put everyone in my prayers. Seeing the cooler standing up with nothing around it…. Is something I know I will never forget! God bless them….
Thank God they went to the cooler "Ark " Amazing story ,remind me of hurricane Sandy ,I was holding onto a piece of wire, which id tied the rafters to ,when the wind was trying to lift it off ,we held on tight and cried out to Jesus and it went bk dwn and stayed 😢. I pray she gets help to build a strong brick building, Excellent reporter ❤😊
Sounds like you had God with you that night. I’m glad you mentioned the reporter because I can’t get her out of my mind either. Standing there with just a microphone between each of them and listening to here recount what they had just been through… her raw emotions would have undoubtedly been one of the hardest things for someone to experience. But in the end… she accomplished her goal of letting the world know how quickly your life can change in seconds. Reading what you experienced makes me wonder just how many untold stories like this no one has ever heard. I can only imagine watching this interview all the emotions that must have rushed back to you. Unimaginable for many to comprehend.
You and your husband are life savers and that was the most respectful news reporter I've seen in a loooooooooong time. She let Miss Tracy tell her story. Praying for everyone!
Devastating to watch this poor woman break her heart on live TV, the storms aren’t to be messed with. Thank god the cooler withstood the winds like a champion ❤️
@@cameron6249 we was trained when I worked at a grocery story as a teenager... in case of a threat of a tornado, go directly to the cooler and remain there until the threat was past.
Sometimes people don't like to be touched during this time as it gets too much for them. That is why its always a good idea to ask. If I was going to give her a hug, first ask and do it off TV
This reporter sets the standard for any reporter in situations like this. . Her compassion and patience allowed this woman's personal account come to life for millions. Prayers to all, her included, that have been affected by the disaster.
This is so heartbreaking. It makes me cry. I hate when people keep saying that it'll get better. Many of these people will live through he'll because they are hard working people living from check to check and now with nowhere to go. You don't just suddenly get better.
Look at Moore Ok 2013. This is actually worse! I was in the vicinity when Moore got wiped out twice in the month of May. I never saw so much devastation til now. Really really bad.
This woman was so brave, to be able to speak with such a heavy heart and relive that awful devastation. Had I been the news correspondent I would have been compelled to lean in and wrap my arms around the woman even if the camera shot was a loss. That victim needed a hug so badly.
I was in tears watching Tracy relive what happened to her town. So wonderful that this reporter let her share like that without cutting her off or trying to rush her through her story. I cannot imagine going through what the people of this town are going through. The tornado may be over but now they all have to try and put everything back together. These people are poor to begin with. They have lost everything. So sad
I feel their pain more than anybody else! I m from Turkey and we went thru the disaster of earthquakes in one evening, and one morning, and throughout the week.. wishing all of you speed recovery, God bless you all

I am glad that she survived so that she can continue making others smile and be happy. God speed their recovery and heal their heavy hearts.

One of the highlights other than seeing both of my grandmothers and other family members was getting the famous Chuck burger. It was under the previous owner named Chuck. And now to see everything gone is just devastating. My prayers go out to everyone there because this is something that they will never completely get over.❤
I survived Hurricane Maria on the tiny island of Dominica West Indies the cat 5 pulsated over us for hours we all thought we would die...listening to Tracy brought back emotions I thought I had healed from....praying for the injured..the families of the deceased and the community ❤
This is heartbreaking. May God bless this woman, her family and friends. I've watched the reports since yesterday morning but this one of her recalling the details literally hurts my heart. I wish I could be there to just love on her and these people that have lost everything.
Thank YOU, that is exactly what i feel too. I just want to wrap them ALL in my arms. Then feed them homemade chicken soup and cornbread.with my brownies too. I want to bring them all home.

DEAR GOD THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE GENTLEMAN AROUND TO BE PART OF OPENING THE COOLER HELP SAVE THOSE PEOPLE'S LIVES. TO SURVIVE THE STORM AND THEN GET ENTRAPPED BY THE COOLER IS UNTHINKABLE. AGAIN THANK YOU DEAR GOD.
What a great woman. Her quick direction probably saved those peoples lives. And, her beautiful manicure survived that tornado,too! She was very brave to share her account of survival in such a traumatized state.
Sue M. She is the one that yelled cooler for everyone to get in. Her husband helped getting them in and closing the door. Great team those two are helping the others.
And when your president heard the news at one of his speeches he spoke of ice cream and good looking kids in his audience! He got the news but didn't acknowledge it. I so devastated for the loss of this town, its people and community. May you all find comfort soon. Much love and blessings to you all. ❤
This is really heartbreaking. I hope they fully recover their business. Tracy seems like such a sweet lady. If I ever travel to Mississippi, after she and her husband rebuild their business, I will make a point to stop by.
My heart goes out to this poor lady it’s so heartbreaking. How anyone made it out alive is a miracle. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this disaster
Prayers for this poor lady and the rest of the people who have lost everything. So glad they were able to get in that cooler and survive, but what an ordeal to go through. So scary. :(
My heart goes out to these people. I agree, thank you for letting her tell her story her way. We ALL needed it that way. Prayers to all those families. I know all about losing everything you’ve ever known. It’s absolutely devastating! Thank you to first respond and rescue. You are so appreciated.
Never ask her to retell that story or any one that was in that cooler. The man with a broken arm is awesome than an anybody can know. A broken arm and getting to them. He knew they were trapped and he pushed that pain aside to get to them. He is a true MAN
My ❤ breaks for Tracy and all her loved ones. She is truly an Angel from hearing her story of how that community had welcomed her and her husband 16 years ago. This woman loves her business and shared that with the community. May God give her and everyone affected by this horrendous tornado peace and the will to move forward and rebuild for that community. Such a sad story and I pray that none of the children were killed or hurt during this terrible tragedy. May God comfort each and everyone!! ❤❤❤😢
God Bless You! That was a beautiful telling of a devastating & tragic event! Tears rolled down my face,...I will pray you & your loved ones will be safe & well.
She is wearing a sensor to check her blood sugar. Her medication is probably gone. Even though I'm sure it's the last thing she is thinking about, I hope she remembers to help herself and get her meds. What a horrifying and heartbreaking event. 😢
I forgot about their meds. One catastrophe after another. So sorry for your troubles and hope FEMA, President Biden, and other help is on the way. Thinking of you everyday.
Can't rely on FEMA to help immediately, they always take way too long and don't actually help individuals much. Thankfully the Red Cross is usually the first on the scene to immediately help get people the meds that they have lost, eyeglasses and other concerns like that. I had friends who lost everything in an apartment fire and the Red Cross was there within hours making sure they had their immediate needs taken care of. I saw the same thing when several families I know that live in the same town lost their homes in a tornado. Of course, several other groups, volunteers, and churches help immediately and for as long as it takes. You will see this as well if you are ever unfortunate enough to be close to a tragedy, and you'll even find yourself volunteering to help alongside all other helpers. Humans are amazing actually at coming together when tragedy strikes.
Tracy, I am praying for you and everyone affected by this horrible storm. Thank you, your husband, and friends for the uplifting actions amidst such devastation.
Life is too fragile and precious to not have love for others like this women. My heartfelt condolences and good wishes for all those devastated by this tragedy. 💔
It’s unbelievable that the cooler wasn’t really damaged but the building was obliterated around it! Wow, kudos to the manufacturer and fast action of the restaurant owner to get everyone inside. Amazing story!
Bless her heart! That feeling of helplessness is the worst. I have that feeling a lot, because I can't be there to help. I'm old. All I can do is cry and pray. God bless the souls who have gone through this terrible storm!
GOD Bless you Mrs. Tracy It brought me to tears. I will continue to Pray for you and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy esp. those who died. 🙏 I am encouraging everyone to pray for ya'll.
Heartbreaking to see this and I pray for my fellow Mississippi citizens! Breaks my heart to see this. The tornado that hit Amory is only 30 miles from my home
Tracy, You are such an inspiration to the world! I wish every town in the country had a Tracy in it! You hang in there and rebuild. That community needs you. Sending many hugs and well wishes!!
Tracy, if it gives any solace, your and your husbands quick thinking and action saved 9 lives. Bless you all.
Absolutely!

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I survived Hurricane Maria on the tiny island of Dominica West Indies the cat 5 pulsated over us for hours we all thought we would die...listening to Tracy brought back emotions I thought I had healed from....praying for the injured..the families of the deceased and the community ❤
This is heartbreaking. May God bless this woman, her family and friends. I've watched the reports since yesterday morning but this one of her recalling the details literally hurts my heart. I wish I could be there to just love on her and these people that have lost everything.
Thank YOU, that is exactly what i feel too. I just want to wrap them ALL in my arms. Then feed them homemade chicken soup and cornbread.with my brownies too. I want to bring them all home. HEART WRENCHING. Grandma loves every one of you and is praying on her knees for YOU.
I can't see I'm crying so hard, sorry for mistakes.

💔😭💕🙏💪
@@michelleshaw1211 I understand. I've cried like that too. I just want to help them and comfort those children. They are getting severe weather now. And here we are again, bracing for severe storms in Alabama. We have had two tornado warnings tonight.
@@heartofdixieprepping4797people down here in the south have big hearts. I agree on everything you said. Good luck through these storms!
@@MJIZZEL thank you.. it's so hard to sleep in this weather anyway and seeing the destruction here and these people's lives shattered makes it harder. I just hope they are all safe. Where do you put so many people after something like this. There's nothing....😢
@@heartofdixieprepping4797 I'm praying for you too. I'm watching the weather down there and worrying along with you. My older son lives outside Atlanta now and they're getting hit too. I always watch the weather in the Spring. It's habit, I grew up in southeast Kansas on the OK border. Tornado Alley. I spent a lot of my childhood nights in the basement. Very scary!! You hang in there my Dear. You will be always on my mind and heart. Please stay safe!!
Love, Michelle Shaw, a Colorado Mountain Grandma 💜💔💧🙏💕💪✌️🌎🌍🌏
Katie Byrne, need mre reporting like this, kudos and thanks.
My heart to these folk.
The customer got em free with a busted arm, alot of heroes in this story.
What a beautiful loving woman Tracey is. God Bless her. Prayers for all the children.
What a kind heart this woman has, and I am so glad she and her employees survived.
My heart goes out to this women.
Love journists that actually do journalism
Thanks for minimizing your interruption and allowing her to fully speak and share her pain and hope 🙏🏽
Love the gentleman's warm response
I was very impressed with that. Letting her tell her story was important for her. I was kind of hoping she'd give her a hug.
DEAR GOD THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE GENTLEMAN AROUND TO BE PART OF OPENING THE COOLER HELP SAVE THOSE PEOPLE'S LIVES.
TO SURVIVE THE STORM AND THEN GET ENTRAPPED BY THE COOLER IS UNTHINKABLE. AGAIN THANK YOU DEAR GOD.
What a great woman. Her quick direction probably saved those peoples lives. And, her beautiful manicure survived that tornado,too! She was very brave to share her account of survival in such a traumatized state.
It was her husband's quick thinking. She was in shock like a deer in headlights.
Sue M. She is the one that yelled cooler for everyone to get in. Her husband helped getting them in and closing the door. Great team those two are helping the others.
Of all things, I too was looking at her pretty nails, in the midst of such utter devastation. For some reason, it makes me cry. 😢
@@suem6004 Go troll elsewhere.
@@Galaxie08 Truth hurts your feelings snowflake. You need a binkie for your trauma.
Bless you and your husband Tracy, saving the lives of those around you
My heart is breaking watching Tracy relive this nightmare. Angels, please watch over Tracy and everyone who has been affected by this tragedy.
And when your president heard the news at one of his speeches he spoke of ice cream and good looking kids in his audience! He got the news but didn't acknowledge it. I so devastated for the loss of this town, its people and community. May you all find comfort soon. Much love and blessings to you all. ❤
God Bless this women and her family. And all those that were in that tornado.
This is really heartbreaking. I hope they fully recover their business. Tracy seems like such a sweet lady. If I ever travel to Mississippi, after she and her husband rebuild their business, I will make a point to stop by.
My heart breaks for theses people. I’m praying for all of you.
One of the best interviews after a storm hit. She relive it all and told us about it. God Bless.
My heart goes out to this poor lady it’s so heartbreaking. How anyone made it out alive is a miracle. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this disaster
Prayers for this poor lady and the rest of the people who have lost everything. So glad they were able to get in that cooler and survive, but what an ordeal to go through. So scary. :(
A sincere good woman. Praying all the children are ok. You're a wonderful lady and we care about you and your town and business and all residents.
Thank God for the person that opened that cooler!!!
This is just heartbreaking. I hope this town makes a comeback because the people seem so nice. ❤
Praying so hard for Mrs Harden her family the rest of these great people from the great state of Mississippi.
God bless that woman, her family, her employees and especially the man who rescued them. Praying for all in Rolling Fork.
My heart goes out to these people. I agree, thank you for letting her tell her story her way. We ALL needed it that way. Prayers to all those families. I know all about losing everything you’ve ever known. It’s absolutely devastating! Thank you to first respond and rescue. You are so appreciated.
My God...this is utterly heart wrenching.....
I’m so glad you are ok. That was a brilliant move to go into the cooler.
Bless her heart. This is heartbreaking. I hope they get the support they need to rebuild their lives.
WOW! This is the most powerfully raw news clip I've ever seen. The genuine concern this lady has for her community is heart warming ♥️
So very sad I have tears in my eyes. She is a beautiful human being and thank God for that cooler.
Never ask her to retell that story or any one that was in that cooler. The man with a broken arm is awesome than an anybody can know. A broken arm and getting to them. He knew they were trapped and he pushed that pain aside to get to them. He is a true MAN
My ❤ breaks for Tracy and all her loved ones. She is truly an Angel from hearing her story of how that community had welcomed her and her husband 16 years ago. This woman loves her business and shared that with the community. May God give her and everyone affected by this horrendous tornado peace and the will to move forward and rebuild for that community. Such a sad story and I pray that none of the children were killed or hurt during this terrible tragedy. May God comfort each and everyone!! ❤❤❤😢
I am so sorry sweetie. It is so hard to have so much loss. God be with you.
God Bless You! That was a beautiful telling of a devastating & tragic event! Tears rolled down my face,...I will pray you & your loved ones will be safe & well.
OMG I thought she was going to say that her husband didn't get in the cooler. Bless this lady. I hope they had insurance. Great reporter, too.
She is wearing a sensor to check her blood sugar. Her medication is probably gone. Even though I'm sure it's the last thing she is thinking about, I hope she remembers to help herself and get her meds. What a horrifying and heartbreaking event. 😢
The good news is Anguilla, 10 minutes down the road has a pharmacy available. So it was reported. Hope so.
I forgot about their meds. One catastrophe after another. So sorry for your troubles and hope FEMA, President Biden, and other help is on the way. Thinking of you everyday.
I have one too and noticed it immediately. I am wearing one to monitor mine, so I won't have to take meds!!
Can't rely on FEMA to help immediately, they always take way too long and don't actually help individuals much. Thankfully the Red Cross is usually the first on the scene to immediately help get people the meds that they have lost, eyeglasses and other concerns like that. I had friends who lost everything in an apartment fire and the Red Cross was there within hours making sure they had their immediate needs taken care of. I saw the same thing when several families I know that live in the same town lost their homes in a tornado. Of course, several other groups, volunteers, and churches help immediately and for as long as it takes. You will see this as well if you are ever unfortunate enough to be close to a tragedy, and you'll even find yourself volunteering to help alongside all other helpers. Humans are amazing actually at coming together when tragedy strikes.
Hard to imagine getting in the cooler in just the nick of time. Kudos to her husband to manhandle the door! Blessings to you all from Virginia.
It is a miracle someone heard them before they suffacated
Suffacated? You mean suffocated.
They were just lucky to get out, nothing else.
@@mattdelany6799 Dude get a life
@@akshonclip i have a great life. Happy new year!!!
PRAISE JESUS. ❤️🙏😊
Tracy, I am praying for you and everyone affected by this horrible storm. Thank you, your husband, and friends for the uplifting actions amidst such devastation.
You're a legend Tracy. Kindest regards to your community from Australia 🦘
God bless you all Ma’am from England 🙏
....what a story! I love that you cared for others...and that you survived.
Life is too fragile and precious to not have love for others like this women.
My heartfelt condolences and good wishes for all those devastated by this tragedy. 💔
Thank you Tracey ,for your incredible testimony ! ,and teaching us great down to earth God given sense ! God bless you for giving us all hope !
This was a powerful interview. I'm glad she's alright.
My prayers go up for these people. May God protect and bless them.
Where was he before all this happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@gleanerman2195 God was right there the entire time
@@miss_marisa_lsk Was he smirking at the scene???????
@@thabom9791 I'm glad you're asking questions, but you already know the answer in your heart. God Bless ♥
@@miss_marisa_lsk Yes, I know the answer. This is why you can keep the blessings for yourself and the bigots.
It’s unbelievable that the cooler wasn’t really damaged but the building was obliterated around it! Wow, kudos to the manufacturer and fast action of the restaurant owner to get everyone inside. Amazing story!
Our business got robbed one night and the robbers stuck us in the cooler .
@@bullbutter2931 really?! That’s crazy. Sorry you had to experience that!
One could call it a miracle...
She had an incredible story!! I am glad they got out of the cooler, too.
Bless her heart! That feeling of helplessness is the worst. I have that feeling a lot, because I can't be there to help. I'm old. All I can do is cry and pray. God bless the souls who have gone through this terrible storm!
GOD Bless you Mrs. Tracy It brought me to tears. I will continue to Pray for you and everyone affected by this terrible tragedy esp. those who died. 🙏 I am encouraging everyone to pray for ya'll.
Seems God did not bless her or was absent ....
Heartbreaking to see this and I pray for my fellow Mississippi citizens! Breaks my heart to see this. The tornado that hit Amory is only 30 miles from my home
Omg thank god you’re safe… I heard Tupelo got a little bit of it near amory …
Bless you all! Each and every one of you who went through this storm.
Tracy, You are such an inspiration to the world! I wish every town in the country had a Tracy in it!
You hang in there and rebuild. That community needs you. Sending many hugs and well wishes!!
Praying for everyone. Praying for you, Tracy Harden.
Sorry for the lost,God bless y'all!
