now none of these homeowners will ever own again because insurance rates will be too high to afford.

That's awful,..It's difficult to fathom how powerful a tornado is 😮

[@doogandoggin2571]

Thank God Biden will help states regardless of politics. If it was the other guy, ask Puerto Rico how helpful the feds were.

[@Falla76]

That is because Puerto Rico is renowned for their corruption. Regardless of who the president is, he/she would have been very hesitant to send a lot of money to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico needs to get their act together and seriously consider becoming a state, and you should grow up and stop being so naive. Socialism has never worked. Democracy, although not without its’ faults, is the best thing out there. Rs

[@liutaurasmackevicius1323]

So sorry for all the victims, but why don't they finally start building houses with concrete, stones and rebar???

[@terrib627]

You do realize that not everyone has the money for that? That's not an affluent community at all. Quit being judgmental.

[@liutaurasmackevicius1323]

let's think about what is cheaper: whether to build one strong house for twenty years or to rebuild the house every year...

[@ia1n673]

@@terrib627it’s not about what it costs, it’s about why construction workers aren’t building them like that in the first place. A well built home with bolted foundations doesn’t cost much more than nailing a home to foundation. The only reason construction workers nail the house to foundation is really just to get it done faster, and it’s bs.

They ought to hire European or Chinese engineers who are better at building houses at this point lol.

[@Lemthepoetofficial]

I am an engineer. We cannot build homes that can withstand tornadoes. :/

[@multiplerats]

There are giant trees being ripped out of the ground, what makes you think that a brick building can withstand that? Tornadoes destroy everything in their path and there have been countless brick, stone, and concrete buildings that were destroyed by tornadoes. Maybe instead of blaming people, you should have some empathy for the people who were killed.

It is basically impossible to design a home that can withstand EF4/EF5 damage. At least not affordably.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis amongs, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967736246190 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~~♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-ː}-|>}-|>}-|>}-|>}-|>}-|>.......,,,,٪~√.......●●♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡°°°°°°°................... .................."؛"!"!"!

Matthew 6:5: “When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward." Hypocrites arrange for everyone to notice their prayers, because they're mostly concerned with worldly approval. True worshippers pray alone behind closed doors; God the Father knows, and He rewards them.
