Thank you for showing that the tornado completely decimated places OTHER than Mayfield. There has been so little coverage of all the other places that were completely destroyed, and those people deserve attention too.... and need to know that people are thinking of and praying for them too! All the big media is all about Mayfield, Mayfield, Mayfield.... this tornado was quite likely on the ground all the way from Arkansas to Louisville and had destruction along it's entire path. People need to know this.
@Amy Davis I live here in Kentucky. I'm glad there are other people showing other places as well. However, I understand why the media is showing mostly Mayfield. It was the MOST impacted with loss of human/animal life and not to mention the businesses. We still have no idea how many people are still uncounted for. Mayfield was COMPLETELY wiped away. That's why they're showing it more than anywhere else. Thank you for your concern and support!
@@patreaedison1059 my heart breaks for you ppl! As an okie thats been through more than a few of these i keep yall in my prayers!
@@patreaedison1059 Maybe it's just my emotions getting the best of me, as I recall other catastrophic tornadoes. I live in Oklahoma, and several years ago I used to be a storm chaser. I've been lucky enough to never lose my home or community, but I've been in the aftermath of several that have. I know firsthand how much of a difference it makes when the victims of storms like these know that the country is standing behind them and rallying their support. By "difference" I mean.... a psychological difference. I also know what they feel when they look around at the total destruction around them, but because they didn't have as many lives lost, they get "forgotten" or dismissed as not being as important. There were other communities in THIS tornado that did get nearly completely wiped out (Dawson Springs, for example)... last I heard there were 13 dead there and over 100 still unaccounted for. Where is the media attention for that? Another 12 deaths in Bremen.... but all that's really getting major attention is Mayfield. I'm not taking away from that absolute carnage that happened in Mayfield.... and certainly not all the lives lost... we've been watching that for 2 days and it's utterly heart-breaking. I was somewhat relieved to hear the official report at the Candle Factory is now 8 dead, and only 8 still unaccounted for... it's still HORRIBLE, because even ONE death is one too many, but it's much better than we thought it would be from the earlier reports. Anyway, I'm rambling now. You said you live in Kentucky... I hope with all my heart that you are safe and sound where you are! I grew up in Ohio and we showed horses quite a lot down in Kentucky and I always loved it there.
@@amydavis4945 I agree. They need to show other areas that also got hit, so people can get a real perspective of the magnitude of this terrible monstrous storm with the destructive tornadoes. So sorry for ALL areas, and the people that this affected. Prayers, deep sadness to see this happen to all these families, lives forever changed.😔
It's insane to think that the one tornado touched down, and literally traveled 200+ miles. That isn't normal, but then again, not much is normal these days. Prayers for all who've lost family, homes, lost everything. Lord, have mercy.
From Australia, our hearts are with you. I hope your fellow countrymen band together and help you get through this.
I feel bad for your country with those anti vax camps
Stay strong Australia we are praying for you. General santucci the quarantine camps in Australia are planned to be brought out world wide at least in the west.
This is a planned controlled agenda, we must not comply world wide.
Thank you Bernie. Us Kentuckians are taking care of our Kentuckian neighbors whose lives and homes have been devastated. Many other states are coming into Kentucky to help which we are so grateful for. I was fortunate that the tornado lifted before it got to my house or we would have also been in the path of destruction. It was a horrific night of fear and anxiety as we hunkered down in the basement. It was just a continuous line of severe storms that came through, one after another for almost five hours straight!
@@GeneralSantucci1st God is with us!
Unfortunately some assholes will try to make things political.
Overwhelming destruction!!!!!
Praying for all affected and that survivors are still found, and those who have lost loved ones are comforted. It will take years to recover, but nothing will ever be the same as it was. This is not something people ever "get over", but getting through and moving on will happen.
Its like you can't comprehend what your eyes are seeing...my heart goes out to each family and your overwhelming feelings of just unbelief of the destruction and death...my prayers are with you all....God send your peace and comfort to each and everyone i pray
No words can describe the empathic feeling for all who lost a relative, or lost their house. Hope you recover and heal in no time.
I live in niagara Canada and we don't get that here. I can't even imagine what you are all going through. My heart breaks for all who have been affected from all the tornados.
May God be your Rock and Comforter during these times.
May He heal your neighborhoods and help you rebuild .
And for those who have lost loved ones May He be that strength 💪 you need during these times of sorrow.
God bless 🙏
Thank you so much Jessie for your kind compassion. It was a horribly, stressful night not knowing whether the tornado would destroy your home and life that night. We were fortunate that one, the tornado dissipated before it got to our area, and two, we had a basement to hunker down under while the storms went through. The storms were still relentless, just one right after another for five hours straight!
My heart goes out to this community, it’s utter devastation in what is a beautiful place. To see the concrete foundations lying bare it’s unimaginable. Thank you for sharing. The world needs to see so we can comprehend what happened, like the bushfires hereinAustralia, the tsunami in Japan and other asiatic countries, all just so awful to watch the aftermath. I hope help comes soon.
No help. The dictator known as Joe Biden REFUSED to help any state that didn't vote for him. He even denied federal aid to a state that saw a train overturn and pollute its water supply. He is one cruel child molester. Our livers will improve when he drops dead. He's half blind and talks to walls while shaking hands with the air.
My sincerest condolences to all of the families that lost loved ones in this storm...may they rest in peace.
Amen 🙏
@@lyndage42 WORDS FOR THE LIVING THE DEAD HELL, IS OVER.
Devastating and heartbreaking. All through the day when I think you out there I say another prayer for our fellow Americans. God be with you

Amen 🙏
From Oregon
Yeah, god was already there. He wiped out the houses and the people. It was an Act of God.
Thank you everyone.
God did this he gives and takes
My heart, thoughts, and prayers goes out to Arkansas, Mississippi Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois and especially Kentucky. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SCREW THOSE LIBERAL STATES AND THEIR CRAPPY 😴 INFRASTRUCTURE HAARP PLAN!!!
I Agree I don't care what side you are on political NO ONE should be facing this One Week Before Christmas Prayer for ALL Involved
@@lionheart4529, in Kentucky a Candlestick Factory was destroyed trapping 110 employees and killing a Graves County correction officer. In Illinois, an Amazon Warehouse was destroyed killing 6 employees. In Arkansas, a Nursing Home was destroyed killing one person. So in total, 76+ people were killed, Kentucky was hit by far the hardest.

This is the first time I have ever seen tornado damage on lakefront / waterfront homes like this. It’s just not something we ever think about. I’m honestly shocked watching this.
It happened sometimes up in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan basically Lake areas but they're more known as water spouts that come on from a water tornado and sometimes hit land as a tornado and then just die after a few hundred feet and not all that common
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist A water spout is a non-supercell tornado that forms in a common thunderstorm updraft and ranks about EF-0 if that. A supercell tornado such as this one that happens to cross water is not one of those at all.
I live in southern maine and we occasionally have micro bursts
I live a mile from this destruction. These were not cheap, ramshackle homes. They were mostly very well constructed and very expensive.
Unreal, My heart go out to all that have been affected by this horrible storm.
@@brianarnold4368 Get real, you religious weirdo!!!
The severity of damage from a December tornado is mind blowing. It’s hard to know where to begin for the survivors. So sad.
This tornado also looks very wide. I've watched this video twice... found the spot on the map. These are $500k to 800k homes; undoubtedly well built.
Nope they're built just like the rest.
@UC4MGIKJnDgAxhdlomBkaevQ Yeah, but apparently money doesn't keep tornadoes away!
@@spiritwings4592 Some of those places did a lot better than their neighbors. You can pay for above-code construction and some people do.
Looks wide . So I’m just wondering does it look wide or was it wide or where did you get the information? just wondering
@@brenne8030 The little peninsula here is about 1/4 mile wide and it looks to have at least covered that width. Surveyors will determine width in the days/weeks ahead... will be interesting to see the surveys out of these storms.
I live in Grand Rivers, KY, just on the other side of the lake from the location in this video. I’m a retired detective from this county (Marshall Co.) This video still does not do justice to what this looks like in person. So terrible.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, your community and countless others who have been affected by this devastating disaster. God bless you, Sir.
@@tracifromshreveport7364 very kind of you, thank you.
Did you hear the roar of the tornado?
@@sethcourtemanche5738 absolutely. You could hear the rumble of it approaching from miles away. This thing was over a mile wide and spitting debris into the air at 25,000 ft. It was incredibly ominous. It stayed fairly straight and we knew it was coming and a good change of hitting us for over an hour. And still, it had already been on the ground for an hour at that point. The sound was so deep.
than you know about HAARP, or you should. tell me, if you honestly think this ISNT goverment made, i can tell you right now it WAS. Dubai created RAIN during their drought, our gov has been using weather manipulation for YEARS, to do things just like this. climate change my ass.
The damage is immeasurable
This is so heart breaking.Prayers to all from New Brunswick Canada.
Thank you for your concern and compassion.

That was an amazing and horrifying view. thank you for showing us what happened in one of our family States and cities in America. God bless them all that is a beautiful part of the country and it's so sad that they're going through what they're going through right now. Jesus please watch over them and keep their spirits up because I know it's going to be really hard.
Thank you for sharing this! And for NOT putting music with it, or sensationalizing it in some way. The footage speaks volumes. I am SO SORRY for the devastating loss so many have experienced from these storms! Prayers & love! 🙏❤
The homes in this video are really nice, high-end homes. And the tornado still decimated them. Imagine a tornado so strong that even if you're living in a million dollar newly constructed home, with all the building code compliances in the book, your fancy luxury home still doesn't stand a chance. Mother Nature humbles us all.
Nice homes but same construction as the smaller ones. Two by six walls and glass windows with plywood roofs. Just more for the tornado to eat. In the Philippines all the houses I saw were steel reinforced concrete walls. Might be needing that in America soon. I think I would be looking at a reinforced room in the house or a storm shelter. I expected a tornado like this more around Oklahoma, not Ky.
I was thinking the same thing. Equalizer
High end homes do not survive 200 mile an hour winds any better than cheap homes. No homes are designed to withstand a direct hit by a tornado.
Compared to houses in Ireland, these things are almost cartoonish.
@@josephalberta1145 Concrete slabs.
Damn my heart goes out to you guys. My sister was born in this state when I was two. I am so terrible sorry.
My Prayers are with you, from one Military Brat here in Wyoming
please now that I am praying for you ~•♡•~
I'm literally sick seeing this. My heart aches for all involved. Prayers, love, and blessings to all.
Tornado didn't spare no one... sometimes mother nature teaches us to be humble in more than one way. If you survived you may not have material things anymore but you will appreciate what little you have. My prayers to all the people in the affected areas. God bless you.
MAN! YOU JUST SAID IT ALL! GOD BLESS YOU TOO!
I was JUST thinking that I appreciate my little apt.
HAARP YOU IDIOTS IT WAS HAARP!!!
Aameen
@@lionheart4529 Shh, Lucifer speaking.
So sad to see this. What a crazy world now we live in. Never in my lifetime did I ever think I would see such destruction and devastation. My thoughts go out to everyone affected by this storm.
We’ve seen destruction just like this hundreds of times in many tornadoes. This is just another such event. The world Is not any crazier than it’s ever been. Tornadoes happen.
Thank you
@@sandsmarc This seems far worse than most damage from tornados I've ever seen! Not to me tion that these tornados hit for many hours on December 10th into the 11th!
Sara T ..i feel the same.. I'm hugging you right now..💞
@@jeanninegodwin2285 the damage is no worse, you are just seeing more of it because of technology, like drones, and the internet showing so much of it. The MSM is also pushing it to try and blame it on global warming.
I’m in Missouri where one of the tornadoes went through. My home escaped any damage thankfully but the community next door wasn’t so lucky. I feel like it should be a requirement at this point to have some kind of either basement or underground shelter on each property or apartment complex for these cases. I’ve been through an F5 before and it scarred me. I told my husband when we were buying our house that one of my requirements was a basement because of this reason here. Positive vibes for those affected and weren’t as lucky as I was
A requirement seems a bit overreaching, however, it would be wise to just do it for yourself without being forced
We've ridden out two tornados: once in an office building basement, and once in my home (lost the roof on that one). I wouldn't have a home without a basement. It doesn't have to be a fancy open concept finished area, just large enough to get your family and pets into. I call ours the dungeon. 1895 house in Indiana, btw, so it's a very old basement. Solid but a bit cold and dark! You're smart!
That great Australian spotter said last year, that the tornadoes are getting so strong that, you have to be below ground to be safe ! Even brick structures. He's covered the worst !
Why not just buy a home where tornados aren't a frequent occurrence?
Glad you're safe but if you dont mind me asking. Are basements even safe?
I live in the central part of ky & idk what or why they're not telling the body count of this horrendous tragedy but I know for a fact that 70 can't be correct. This tornado is one of the most destructive in history... especially for Ky & it flattened everything in it's path...in the event there is only 70 that lost their lives, we need to honor this day in history being known for the mercies of God, celebrate, & consider ourselves blessed beyond imagination...things are replaceable but people are not. May God bless everyone from this horrific tragedy & give them peace & comfort that passes all understanding, in Jesus name, amen
Lake front homes, not every home has a full time resident. Some of these are weekend, summer places.
Flattened out the mountains also.
I think that they are waiting for three days, because people can't live past that without water, then the first responders will switch to recovery mode, and hopefully, they'll start being honest about the amount of deaths. It must be in the hundreds.
Such a beautiful prayer…
Yes Lag, the whole section of southwestern Kentucky has almost been destroyed. So tragic. Us fellow Kentuckians up north are rallying behind you guys. School busses all over the state are coming in the next few days down there packed with relief supplies.
This is a heartbreaking..i can feel the pain on those affected. Stay strong, things will get better. It might be stormy now but it can't rain forever...
My prayers are with you all, it's a wonder anyone survived this, heartbreaking and humbling.
THANK YOU 😞
Nothing can withstand an EF 4 OR 5. Praying for these people
I bet it's a 5
How come there's no debris on any of the roads.. Like, nothing! Where are all the people that were living in these houses? Their cars seem to be in their driveways but there's no people wandering... There's also no dogs.
Reinforced concrete buildings can.. sure you will lose the windows doors fences ect but the main structure will still be standing and structurally stable..
@@cruzanmongoose actually reinforced concrete buildings can be heavily damaged by EF5 tornados like what was seen in Moore
There must be thousands dead but they don't tell us the actual numbers because they never do.
Only the people involved in the recovery know but we don't here from them unless we know them and they tell the truth.
Bless all who didn't make it thru this in all 6 towns so far, that I know of. We haven't even been told by the media just how many towns look like this.
Incredible disaster! Prayers for those affected by this storm.🙏🏻
Prayers From CANADA 🇨🇦🕊❤
it is mind blowing to me to see one house standing and another next to it demolished. tornadoes are mind boggling
I live in Marshall County sir! I have cried for days! I’m 52 and have never seen anything like this in my life! I live in the lakes area! I keep shelter and my life thanks to the Lord , only lost power and water! So many affect here as well and have lost everything!
Crazy. I've never seen a tornado destroy Waterfront like that
May God bless all who are truly there to help and keep
them safe !! The recovery and clearing will be a most tragic and heartbreaking experience and will take time and patience. my deepest sympathies go out to all who have lost
Loved ones , my prayers
Also Go out to the many animals , wildlife , pets,
whose live were lost ..
Most of the homes show a bathroom or closet still fully intact, if there is anything left. Maybe homes should start being built with a reinforced bathroom/tornado shelter from now on. These people did everything right when seeking shelter, the storm was just too much... truly helpless.
Bathrooms walls are often stronger than average walls because of all the attached plumbing running perpendicular to the framing and they are often 2X6 to allow room for the plumbing while other walls are likely 2X4's.
3:50 perfect example of why a meteorologist would tell you to shelter here if you had no storm shelter or basement. It's the only part of the house that survived above grade.
I can hear James Spann's voice in my head, "you need seek shelter, if possible, get below ground. If you can't get to an underground shelter, you're going to need to get to the lowest level of your home, find a room closest to the center of the house with no exterior windows, and put as many walls between you and outside as you can."
Good example and well said
Yes, but no one had internet.. the emergency phone warnings reached too late for so many
When you lose power, and all connection to the outside world, most who were hurt had zero clue it was coming
@@noahbodhi I was a litle over an hour north/northwest of this line of storms and was also under a tornado warning. Problem was, only 1 of 3 people in my family received a warning to their phone for some reason, but luckily it didn't amount to anything. Makes you realize to be as diligent as possible about the weather when you know it could get bad like this past weekend. I had even been keeping up with the news on the storms all night and still missed a local warning. Definitely getting a weather radio now.
It’s like a meteor hit, such horrific destruction. Prayers sent to you all from Australia. May those who’s lives were spared find comfort in being still alive, as material things can be remade. To those who lost loved ones my heart and prayers of strength, love and support are sent to you💜
A Meteor? More like an atomic bomb
Thank you to everyone helping and donating 🙏
I've never seen devastation on such a huge scale, this is going to take a long time to recover from. Obviously the worst ever tornados to hit the US
No the worst was the tristate tornado of 1925. This outbreak may be the third after Xenia Ohio in the 1974 super outbreak. Highest wind speeds was in 1999 Bridge Creek OK where 318 mph winds were recorded. Any tornado is bad if it comes to your house. Most of this damage looks like F2-3 in a few places F4. What shocks me as a storm chaser is how complete the destruction. The debris is small and widely scattered. Only trained on the ground NOAA people will know the true ferocity. Construction types and materials can make a big difference between some roof damage and down to the slab.
@@kmagnussen1052 Sadly building standards have slumped, yes the destruction is like homes have been put in a blender. The length of the storm front is another factor. Whenever fronts cover multiple hundreds of miles that adds to the destructive power
Not even close to the worst outbreak. April 3rd 1974 and April 27th 2011 come immediately to mind as being worse. In 2011 Alabama and Mississippi had about 5 tornadoes that were as bad or worse than the Mayfield tornado. The 1974 outbreak also had several that bad as well.
There are others too. April 1920 Deep South Outbreak. 1932 Deep South outbreak. May 1999 Oklahoma outbreak.
However, you might be correct to call it the worst December outbreak in US history. Very unusual ferocity for an outbreak this time of year.
I’m wishing the best for the states effected by these storms.
Maybe we could phone the people in kentucky and ask for their opinions on the worst tornado
@@j-rab274 shhhhh you are ruining the climate change agenda!
Where is this exactly? Near KY Lake Dam?
It look to be about 5 miles by water from the kentucky dam
I would lose it if I lost my home like this. I would be crying hysterically and walking around rambling like a crazy person trying to pick up and save anything that's left of my home and belongings. I've just suffered too much loss. I wouldn't even rebuild my home. I would just start my van life with the insurance money. That way if I'm in a bad area my home is on wheels and I can be 100 miles away in six hours when it's time for the shit to hit the fan. Living in houses is hard. We got fires, floods, tornados, earthquakes. I think van life folks are on to something.
did Ferdonia get damages? priceton?
So sad that we have such devastation and the lives lost from these storms. All we can do right now is pray for all the families in all the states affected. God bless and keep them through this.
I can’t begin to imagine how a person would feel after this. My heart goes out to them. Even the trees are stripped naked. 😢
It's just so heart breaking to see this. The storms that caused all this started building over where I live and too see what they did at their peak very saddening.
There may be bodies in that lake. It will be years before people will be able to swim in the lake because of all the debris. I live on a lake in Arkansas and it sure could have happened here. May God be with the good people of Kentucky.
At this point I feel like this might be the tornado that has broken the EF5 drought
It's hard to say.. too many different types of construction. I'm still seeing partial structure mostly. There are some wiped foundations but few here and there. Certainly not the number that would classify the tornado as EF5.
@@Kreemerz Number doesn't matter. If there is ONE structure that was very well built (proper foundation anchoring) that was completely destroyed and swept clean, then it's an EF5.
It’s an easy EF4 for sure. And the radar images and gate to gate shear this thing showed tells me it most certainly reached EF5 level intensity. The question is if any single ONE well built structure sustained EF5 damage. The track of this thing was huge and all it takes is a single structure to get classified as an EF5
drought? You were hoping for more?
the complete survey of this storm is going to take a while, but it will be fascinating to read. Strength along its path... maximum width... where was it EF2, 3, 4, or even 5?? If the path is the projected 200+ miles (and even if it's not), it's going to be a truly historic tornado. Absolutely devastating.
It's mot just the structure damage, it's the trees that took decades to grow, just everything sandblasted and leveled, it'll take decades to really recover properly
You can see tornado scars from a commercial airplane. Seen them many time flying into OKC. It's humbling.
Long before decades go by, more tornadoes will strike. God is super pissed off about these incestuous cretins repeatedly electing McConnell and Paul.
The sound of this must have been like nothing else, had to have been deafening.
The fact that this moved through so quick and done this damage in seconds needs to be noted when they are doing surveys to see its rating, no doubt this was a high end ef5 at one point as it went past Dawson springs and up towards brehem
Lots of destruction in the path of tornadoes🌪️. We must pray for them🙏🏽
Mayfield, KY is consuming the mainstream attention (no fault of them of course), but Buena Vista and many others were oblierated as well. Was this from the same tornado? I read it traveled up to 227 miles (apparently longest tornado distance record if confirmed). Missouri, Arkansas worth attention too. The system was so widespread and to blow up during nighttime is so terrifying. And to happen during Christmastime...such a heartfelt tragedy. Praying for everyone affected and God Bless you all.
This was not the same tornado. There were no less than 22 tornadoes, and that count is likely to go up as the teams surveying have their hands full.
Still trying to see if it's the world's largest on the ground tornado now toppling the other record or if there were numerous tornadoes that touchdown they're still not sure as of yet
I read the same thing one Tornado traveled approx 220+ mikes on the ground. Also saw a couple storm chasers videos, that had to be at least an EF5 if not bigger. The storm chasers videos also mentioned the distance it was on the ground, but they did not follow it through all those miles. There are a few articles mentioning the distance traveled. There were lots of Tornados across Many States from Friday through Sunday.
The Most troubling thing I am NOT seeing in any of the Videos from Local, and Main Stream news & from the Public sharing shot videos. Absolutely No Poluce, Firemen, Ambulances, FEMA, or any Disaster Recovery Workers or vehicles on any of the sites. Lots of people Uniting from across the Nation go into these areas to help out, but zero from the Government, and yes I was in one of the States Hit. Not as bad as Kentucky and some of the other States, but lots of damage was done here as well. Power was restored Sunday morning here. But not all areas in this State are restored yet. But others States got hit harder than we did, I think. I say that as I have noticed the Main Stream Media is barely covering this at all. Guess they are covering for the Governments lack of action on this disaster. 0ay cl8se attention to hundreds of videos. No Emergency vehicles, no FEMA or Red Cross, No National Guard, nothing.
Good thing the People are uniting across the nation and traveling to these areas to help out where they can. As the Government and disaster recovery organization's are nowhere to be seen. Once everyone recovers from the shock of what we just went through, there are going to be a lot of questions for the Government and the disaster recovery organizations and agencies. I can understand Police and firemen as they may have been taken out like everyone else, but the other organizations and agencies and Government have no excuses. They knew, as we did, that bad storms were on the way.
And Dawson Springs looked leveled…. Just leveled😔🐝❤️

They haven't said what category it was on any of this touchdowns yet.
Mayfield could possibly be a cat 5 but they're kind of looking more towards a stronger cat 4 but we'll just have to see what they say
I just can't believe it destroyed so many places, it underbeliveable, my goodness, even the lake area, my heart goes out to you all
twisters are the most fierce of storms. I was activated for one years ago. the destruction is amazing. it will take a lot to recover from this one
Nothing can withstand the ferocity of a wind like thisone(s) had!! Even brick,concrete block, or poured cement would not totally alleviate this damage. Yes, basements might have helped...if you aren't crushed by collapsing walls && floors( debris). If this hadn't been an evening & late night out break, that may have helped also. Little advanced time and or inadequate warnings only added to the catastrophe. Possibly stronger construction & inground(buried) shelters may have to become the norm. For now,prayers,support & monetary donations are all things the American people can do to help these folks.
forecaster's warned aboy this for a whole week before!!
@Shirley Balinsky I noticed one concrete home in the midst of other destroyed wood homes did survive, although with its roof torn off. I believe steel reinforced concrete is the way to go.

How is it that the roadways remain cleared? I notice this in all videos.
The roads did not 'remain' clear, road-clearing work begins ASAP after a tornado so emergency responders can get in. A reason you aren't seeing drone videos from places where the roads are not clear is because you can't get there to launch your drone since the roads there are not clear.
Bulldozers

So sad, sending love and pray from 🇬🇧
Some of y'all are absolutely disgusting.
Saying they deserved this all because of their political choice. Horrible. Now is not the time for political shit, nor will it ever be.
Mind you - people lost EVERYTHING. Someone lost their pet, someone lost their kid, someone lost someone or something. Right before Christmas, n y'all are just gonna sit their and laugh at their face saying it's karma because of who they voted for? Disgusting and disappointing.
And another thing- if you are buying out generators, food, clothing, and other supplies people need if this time, and hiking up the price to make a profit - you are the horrible person. It is not my place to judge, nor is it yours but you are Disgusting. Now is not the time to be greedy or be a horrible person is general. God would NEVER want that. So sickening.
My prayers for all of you and for God to comfort all of you at this time. We all will be praying for our brothers and sisters with all our love. Stay strong Kentucky.
Incredible.
Unbelievable devastion, however, this drone footage is incredible!
Oh my goodness how is this possible how
how? it's called winter, thunderstorms, convective complexes, large systems, meteorological dynamics. Happens every season.
That damage doesnt look right to me. Tornadoes pick up boards and other light objects from a house and throw them great distances from the destroyed home. Unfortunately , one doesnt see that type of damage in these drone videos from Kentucky. When one looks out onto the lake by the destroyed homes, one does not see any floating boards. These homes look like they were destroyed from some sort of sonic boom from above the homes that caused the walls of the home to collapse. Whatever caused these homes to collapse doesnt seem to have dispersed the remains of the home like a tornado would.
I'm a few hours north but it s very kind to hear from you Australia..Kentucky lake is a jewel
Maybe for the future you want to design houses differently there..
I am very sorry for what happened to the people of Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee among other towns, the world is praying for you. Greetings from Venezuela.
These houses were slabbed. The debris field even indicated the direction which the tornado approached from. The dmg is also very consistent here.
Are you thinking possible EF5 ?
@@kevinb3030 possible, but won't judge. Leave it to the dmg assessment.
The destruction is unreal. Praying for all involved. Looking at some of the homes you know if anyone was in them they barely had a chance if at all.
All the destruction from these tornadoes, it's a wonder 10s of thousands weren't killed and where does anyone start to rebuild when they have nothing.
They will never know the true death toll. The tornado stayed on the ground for over 2 hours...that's a lot of time for anonymous travellers (possibly by themselves) to get sucked up and thrown somewhere remote far away. They just count the people they can verify were home based off the address of the wrecked home. Many people died who have not been or cannot be reported.
dec .2021 Thank you live Storm Media this storm was the worst i have ever seen we need to prepare .
These videos are becoming very depressing wow I could imagine how these people feel actually being there :(
I am shocked by this tremendous destruction, all my sympathy goes to the people who have lost everything, your loved ones, your house my heart bleeds at the thoughts of these poor people.... I will pray for you and hope that God will help you to survive this nightmare. Lovely Greetings from Germany
This is just a sample of God power.. please Repent Cry out to God in Heaven for protection.. Everyone! There's a reason that this has happened to you..God Gives and will take everything away.. the book of Psalms talks about this please read and believe.
Weird that all those sinners that needed to be killed by god lived so close together.
@@georgelux126 yes true And also God give rain to the unrighteous as well as the righteous. Tornado to I'm not saying this The Bible speaks about this. These things must happen. We as Christian must keep our Faith and if your not a Christian Search Read listen. For the kingdom of God is at hand. It could be me next or you God does these things for his Glory.
@@craigbasoco4886 yes. You have written so much of the many comments I have made to others in this feed. But, not all taht were affected were sinners. Some have been born again of the Spirit of God, and God is taking their hold of this world away from them to get their focus upon that which is important; the kingdom of God, for we are not of this world, but are of His kingdom. God bless.
Some people were already struggling as it was. Probably the last thing they needed was a tornado. Story of some lives. But, best thing that could happen would be if they got together and helped one another. Instead we tend to go all separate ways. But some people need a hand up. I am so sorry. I have a friend who lost a home in a fire. Many of us are struggling. Lots of sympathy. Best way to help hopefully posted soon.
With a tornado of this magnitude I don't believe expert surveyors are necessary to argue whether a house was anchored properly enough or not, give it an ef-5 rating and be done with it.
Without words!!!! Our love and prayers going out to all families who lost their homes...❤🙏❤
Evidence shown in this video gives a good indication this was an EF5
Not really.
High end EF4 maybe but not EF5.
These graphics are incredible!
Thats the strangest tornado damage ive ever seen. These houses have been collapsed so very neatly. Theres almost no boards from the demolished homes in the water. . I would think a swirling E4 tornado would have picked up and dispersed most of those house remains into the lake. Yet the lake looks almost empty of debris. Ive never seen a tornado work like that before.
And the roads are clean and clear🧐
The funnel is like a food-extractor pulverizing even metal
If the prevailing breeze is offshore, it will all be at the other side of the lake.
@@I.will.proclaim.your.name. yes something just does not add up
A beautiful place to call home and it's unbelievable to see the destruction left behind. Am an old lady and I never thought I would see this in my beautiful state. Makes my full plate look empty. God bless and prayers are with you. Can't imagine.
Praying for the Lord to comfort all these people but it is very strange that all the roads seem to be clear from the videos and all these places very strange
God sent the tornados, stop Messing with him
Very sad! That is brutal, where do you even start in that process?
High end EF4 damage to low end EF5. I'd go with high end EF4 based off what I've seen, but there is at least 150 miles of damage to survey so who knows. Estimated wind are 160 mph to over 200. 190 mph is probably the safest bet given that there are multiple cases of possible EF5 damage that aren't quite conclusive IMO.
I'd say EF5 Damage for sure at 8:03. At least 3 well-built foundations in that shot are completely swept clean. You can hardly even tell that this neighborhood was ever even developed. If this isn't F5, I don't know what is.
@@winsweatherupdates6702 Were those houses or garages? If those were houses than easily EF5, but those structures with everything swept off the foundation looked like garages.
It's hard to say. The pavement doesn't look like it's been ripped up so it might just be high end EF4. The most damning evidence of this being an EF5 was the destroyed water tower in Mayfield . The concrete was ripped out of thee ground completely and the ground was completely scorched around it.
@@andrewmarino5441 If the structures with the foundations exposed here were houses, then it's EF5 definitely. The absolute lowest they could rate this is high end EF4 borderline EF5. I've seen a few pieces of evidence of EF5 damage as well as radar indicating EF5 strength winds at ground level.
My heart is so heavy. I pray for you all.
make the insurance companies pay without delay, this ids tornado damage, don't let them get away by calling it side wind like they so often try to do. pay up and help these people recover.
IDK... I saw lot's of millionaires on that property. I'm sure that they have 'boot straps' too. Stay safe.
Sad to say but the insurance will declare it An Act Of GOD and not pay off
WOW, it looks like the bark has been stripped from the trees!
Interesting outpouring of care and concern after tornadoes kill almost as many Kentuckians in a single day as COVID has been killing each day for three months...
Screw these hicks. They send McConnell and Rand Paul to sabotage our government for years. Let them wallow in the debris, starving and freezing and gasping for air in that unvaxxed covid incubator they call a state.
