Bless Freddy !!

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

Wow. What heartbreaking imagery. I was in one tornado, over 40 years ago, and I still remember the sound as it passed down the middle of the neighborhood. I'm praying for everyone affected by this event.

[@SaltySouthTexan]

How did that family survive that? I pray their all ok. Broke my heart hearing the young boy say I don’t feel right.

[@dianebeier8379]

The hit & miss of tornados boggles my mind!😢😢😢😮😮😮😮

[@ChessieStorm]

Storm chaser Freddy, God bless you and may God help this family he helped overcome this and may they be blessed.

[@NorrisSaiyan]

My gosh that house at 2:30 was the one Freddy was on. He wasn’t kidding when he said it was leveled. That’s high end ef3 possibly ef4 damage right there

[@NorrisSaiyan]

I guess if the home wasn’t fortified it may not be sufficient to surpass ef3 , either way, that family is very lucky to be alive if they were not in shelter

[@jacobm2625]

Slabbed structure + two possibly lofted vehicles could definitely put it near that EF4 mark

[@SaltySouthTexan]

Freddy is a TRUE hero……man he stayed calm in the chaos

[@josephastier7421]

Foundation slab blown clean is EF-3 easy. Not to mention the pickup truck that looks like it was set down about half a kilometer away.

[@4r1mAS]

​@@josephastier7421there is footage of the truck being slung

[@3orion33]

Thank you for showing the animals affected as well. We wonder about their well being also.

[@KennySmith_AKA_JerseyKid]

Was watching livestream with Vince yesterday and it’s really sad to see people lose their homes and some people lose loved ones. We here appreciate all the first responders which often might be a chaser, as emergency services has yet to arrive. The chasers put themselves at risk more so in these situations. I watch because I hold respect for humanity. Always have and always will. Again thank you and them

[@derekbaker3279]

Were there fatalities from this tornado? I watched a number of streams, including Connor's, Freddy's &Vince's, but did not hear about any fatalities.

[@user-ct3ml6iu4n]

Wow it's a miracle that the family survived at all, their house was ripped from the foundation... I pray that the kids are ok

[@LEONKennedyGames]

I wonder why they didn't have underground shelter

[@jonathanr2830]

I have watched your work for a couple of years or more, as well as that of many others in your field, and can say emphatically that you are one of the very best at what you do. Very well done. Stay safe! All the very best!

[@michaelbowers4648]

I was watching Freddys stream live. When that family came running to his vehicle, I was very emotional.

[@aday1637]

Right out behind my son's home in Hawley. He sent images he took of the funnel. Semi-flood plain where water stays on the ground after a storm. Hawley is about 8 or 10 miles north of Abilene TX

[@Tipp_Of_The_Mitt]

Anyone else notice the lighting flash reflecting on the water at 4:33 ?.

[@JennyWren333]

When we see them form, we can't tear our eyes away from their unworldly twisting shapes. Then, when we see what they destruct and destroy we want to look away. Adding my prayers along with these others. Heart is heavy with sadness for those who hurt so hard.

[@philliphall5198]

Praying for All of you’ll ❤ Terrible and it’s worse than I thought 😢

[@jacobm2625]

Theres something super eerie about this one. Maybe it's just me, but the tornado and the damage both have an ugly look to em.

[@casaugustine]

The intensity of the Tornados the past 7 days do not resemble the Tornados I witnessed decades ago. The formation of the Tornados in itself are very unusual. Could the end result be from Weather Modification we so frequently see before these intense storms appear🤔. Prayers go out to all who have been effected by these horrific storms. May more Political figures like the Governor of Tennessee have the power and strength to put laws in place that make Weather Modification illegal in each State in USA 😔🙏❤️🇺🇸

[@sarahrose4126]

This isn't natural " tornado " damage. Theres technology that can do this. That aside, what are we looking at here ? Were these cow farmers ?

[@Blane_be_fishin]

@@casaugustineyou’re right about one thing. Tornadoes decades ago were not the same. They were stronger. There hasn’t been an ef-5 in over a decade. This right here is just a typical tornado in the tornado alley that happen to strengthen right before it hit a few structures out in the middle of nowhere.

[@silentbob3208]

Found where the foil heads are hanging out lol

[@tomchidwick]

Unreal damage to that pickup truck, clearly thrown and rolled for most of a mile. Hood and roof gone, though basic roll cage somewhat 'intact'. Absolutely stunning.

[@txkflier]

Wide open spaces, but it found those houses..

[@wadewilson8011]

I'm pretty sure that landscape wasn't consistent of pure mud puddles and mud. I'm pretty sure the tornado covered A lot more land area than just a house. In fact it looks like the outer edges of it caught the home itself. And the center of the tornado went where you see all that mud on the ground

[@Titter2]

@@wadewilson8011 I was watching the live stream when it hit the house. It literally went right over it. The storm chaser arrived to the family and you could still see the tornado in the background. Insane.

[@ritaking8827]

Go into the most interior room in your home… get into a ditch if you are driving in a car… Underground is the only safe spot. Not a basement. An underground storm shelter. All these years and all these tornadoes that hit and still houses are being built with no storm shelters.

[@peldridge2627]

I know - it doesn't make any sense to me that there are no storm shelters built into new homes.

[@Titter2]

Storm shelters cost money. People are cheap. Until the government makes it mandatory, I don't see it becoming the norm unfortunately.

[@Mom99004]

My gawd there ppl in those demolished buildings by all the trucks. Wonder if they lived?!!!

[@LEONKennedyGames]

yes

[@Wojtek-420]

The cattle… that truck is wayyy out there too. Crazy.

[@ForthaBois]

That truck and the semi too... How far were they flung exactly? Unbelievable.

[@Wojtek-420]

@@ForthaBois where do you think the cattle came from? They don’t roam corn fields.

[@dalebechtel8904]

Wow. Damage and a lot of standing water.

[@iceresistance]

4:33 Lightning reflection

[@MarcosPaulo-op9tn]

O mundo está perto do fim😢

[@NorrisSaiyan]

How did that truck get deep in that field?

[@josephastier7421]

There are no marks in the mud indicating it rolled or tumbled there, so it must have flown.

[@sharongoodsell9341]

What a question 😓🤔

[@3orion33]

It was no doubt literally picked up by the tornado and set/fell down at another spot. Praying no one was in it😢

[@173jaSon371]

@@josephastier7421 I see tire marks leading right up to it, it could have just tipped over. Maybe I'm wrong though

[@araneljones]

I think the 18 wheeler was partially dragged by the winds. The other was literally blown there, judging by the damage.

[@lyria8469]

Will insurance cover this?

[@sarahrose4126]

Are these cow farmers ? Does anyone know ?

[@user-qk6di6wg9l]

Mostly cotton and hay

[@lynsiepaylor6272]

Yes, they owned a cattle company.

[@bubbawubba2307]

@3:40 mark. What are those? wild hogs?..... Oh I see now some cows

[@deannlathrop8687]

Should the org that clouds seeds a storm which results in loss of life and property be liable for those losses? The org is not God, the storm becomes an act of (evil) man...

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Why should anyone who conducted cloud seeding be held responsible for tornado damages? This is a flood in southeast Texas that had nothing to do with cloud seeding. And the tornado had nothing to do with any cloud seeding even if there was any cloud seeding!!

[@charlottewilson4279]

👵Thankyou 4 bringing that up. Satan is at the bottom of all the woes we have here. We'll b seeing Jesus coming in the clouds soon. He is waiting 4 all of us 2 make one of 2 decisions left 2 b made: stand under Satan's banner or Jesus's. Once that happens it will b hell until Jesus returns 2 take HIS people 2 a safe place while this planet gets destroyed and all under Satan's banner dies and waits 4 the final judgment. B-4 that a woman wrote a dream she had - Simply put - the Parthanon w/a statue of the Goddess Athena will b destroyed in Nashville. The woman's name: Elken G. White. Her main body of writings were writen in the laye 1900's and early 1900's. She currently has a booking the Congressional Library called "The Desire Of Ages" and w/a third grade education that should spell something!!! God bless thi Ose who r seeking and m praying u find. . . 🤗💝🙏

[@araneljones]

Do you seriously believe this was caused by cloud seeding? Cloud seeding is only even possible when conditions are almost to rain anyway. We get weather like this in Texas this time of year. Was cloud seeding also responsible for the floods that have us trapped in our town in southeast Texas? Get a brain and do some research on actual scientific sources, not conspiracy theory hawkers.

[@josephastier7421]

I think you need to talk about Lahaina, 9/11, and the Loch Ness monster. Then it starts making sense.
