0:14 - I just watched the video of the man and woman and dog who survived this storm because of the shelter the man built himself in their basement. This video was shot at night, right after the tornado had passed, so you couldn't tell what the house had really looked like - but here it is, seen from above. And now I can clearly see where the shelter was and why it saved them. It's that grey box in the now-open basement. It's shown again at the end, at 7:53. The woman said (correctly) that just trying to shelter in the basement by itself wouldn't have saved them.
When I went through Kentucky a while back and I couldn't believe the poverty I seen. This was absolutely the last thing many of these people needed. I lived most of my life below the poverty line and know these struggles all too well. I hope and pray help comes quickly. When you don't have insurance or enough money for a hotel even overnight, life is a nightmare. I'm so very sorry.
Yep... meanwhile, "poor" illegal aliens are paying $10,000 a pop to get across the U.S. border. NEWS FLASH: Those people AREN'T POOR! The POOR foreigners are STUCK WHERE THEY ARE, just like plenty of AMERICANS!
@@WxChasing This season might be the worst of the 2020s thus far. It has been an absolutely terrible stretch of severe weather. You can even see how much of a psychological impact it has had on chasers and forecasters alike, dreading what they are witnessing unfold 😞
This storm traveled 40+ miles before coming off the ground and dissipating. It was on track to hit my Mom's area in Muhlenberg Cty, but stopped just short of Morton's Gap. It pulled debris over 47k feet into the atmosphere, so stuff was dropping 4-5 miles outward. God Bless all those who survived and the few that didn't...
It's wild. Sitting at home watching these colors on radar while this is the other end and reality of that situation. Any sense of excitement felt is immediately stifled when you remember that.
Oh yeah, the dread of watching these things unfold by observing radar is very real. It's a level of grief and helplessness that is beyond profound. It must hit those who work in the NWS especially hard since they have to issue these warnings. These storms have such profound and devastating impacts to both victims and observers
Many prayers to those who lost everything in these storms! I also live in western Kentucky and it was a very scary and horrific night last night!! These people have already been hit once before with tornadoes, I couldn't imagine going through it twice.🙏🙏
Wow, I'm overwhelmed and devastated just looking at all of the devastation and damage- those poor people....we're about 4 hrs away at our getaway log cabin right now at Cave Run Lake, KY, those storms scared me yesterday. My deepest sympathies and prayers for the community, I hope they can recover quickly😢🙏💔
It’s actually a well traveled corridor around the Ohio and Mississippi confluence area. The infamous Tri State tornado struck just North of there. We have tornadoes 🌪️ in the Spring and Fall mostly but there have been numerous fatal storms in months not normally associated with tornado activity. The Harrisburg Illinois tornado in February (not this year) 6 fatalities I believe and a November tornado (at night) in Henderson/Evansville with 22 fatalities being just two examples.
Families are worth SOLID homes in America. We build in ways that are highly regulated by our government, box houses that may as well be made of paper, fiber glass insulation, dry wall... all very toxic stuff to have flying around getting into your nose, eyes and lungs... but yet, this is what is approved for our consumption. Homes that blow away to nothing when that big bad wolf comes to blow our houses down. I pray communities really pull together, and build back STRONGER and more sustainable. Government wont be fixing this. We the people have to take the lead when it comes to the quality of our lives on these lands. We're all being duped. Weather warfare is a thing.
Not sure about weather warfare, but we definitely can build better homes cheaper. A 40 ft concrete dome is likely the best choice. We should be working towards 3-D printing them. When we build rectangles, 2 stories up, it is dumb for cooling/heating and structurally vulnerable. Fiberglass insulation is junk, and the second pig builds with sticks. He died.
@@Enjoyer.762 I am a builder now retired, and I have run carpentry crews and concrete crews. I did commercial and residential. If you pour a slab, and a dome on top, it would be the cheapest pre-fab or built on site structure suitable for the location. Labor is the highest cost not materials,.... rookie . The 40 footers would be stunning and the science suggests from studies done with yurts, that people are happier living in a circular environment. Excessively large living spaces are wasteful.
The destruction is so random. Homes totally intact next to homes torn to bits. I assume many already had some very minor to major roof damage and the force of the air found an inch to get in. It also appears to totally miss some homes because nothing is out of place. Still it’s amazing how so many recent tornadoes just played out on miles and miles of undeveloped land. They also appear to be diverted away from highly populated areas. A very small dust up hit Brooklyn about a decade ago but did minimal damage. NYC building facades are required to be reworked about every seven years so the masonry is secure which is why there is always so much scaffolding on buildings. It’s never a good time to lose a home but this is a particularly bad time because of the inflation on building materials. Really sorry for their losses - especially their family and friends. Perhaps we need community builds again. We need creative solutions to our problems.
Nobody can afford to live in NYC except criminals and illegal aliens your woke NY government subsidizes at the expense of middle-class residents. Look at how many people have left NY for other states.

Do Solar Storms affect the possibility of more tornados? It seems like we've had a lot more tornados this season and we just had some of the worst Solar Storms in years or cycles. You guys know wayyy more than me, but is there a correlation?
This one would have, but brick is better, brick can probably handle a lower EF2. The main thing is lack of roof strapping and then you have lots of trailer homes, which can't hardly take 80mph
Strong and violent tornadoes will destroy brick buildings as well. Only nuclear power plants are built and rated to withstand such wind speeds. Are you that obtuse in regards to how much it would cost to build average homes to meet those structural engineering requirements?

All by design
It really seems like the number and the destruction of the tornadoes is a lot worse than usual this year.
That area of KY and TN gets hammered with storms for so many months of the year, maybe worse than pockets of FL, TX, or OK.
There were over 60 Tornadoes yesterday from Denton TX, to AK, MO, KS, IL, Ky and OK. It is happening everywhere. 21 Dead overall.
