​@@albertafarmer8638 the rapture is a fiction, but we should all certianly be prepared for the Son's return in glory

[@albertafarmer8638]

@@ChristisLordandKing I'm sick an tired of you rapture deniers, please do your homework and learn the differences between the rapture and the 2nd coming! Born again Christians are NOT appointed to the wrath of GOD, JESUS promised to protect us from the wrath to come, the AC can not even come as long as the wonderful Restrainer, the HOLY SPIRIT is still on earth. Now do your homework, learn who the 24 elders are and try to lead the last Gentile to CHRIST!

[@ChristisLordandKing]

@@albertafarmer8638 you're talking about an 18th century innovation as if it's historical dogma. There is not a single mention of a rapture from the early church. It's fictional. Its ahistorical. The church has always taught that the faithful are present during the reign of the anti-christ. Matthew 24 has Christ Himself warning us that we WILL be persecuted for His name in the tribulation, and that it will only be by God's grace that the righteous don't fall. If you have an actual point to make, and not a pride- based attack on the correct historical Christian position, I'd be glad to refute it.

And a check to the Red Cross for $50.00 would help too.

I feel bad for all the victims. I hope that people can pull together and maybe create some kind of recycling operation of materials because I am worried the amount of storms that we’re seeing are going to create a national building material shortage crisis. Often times boards might be able to be stacked or cut off for Power washed and re-stacked so they can air out. There’s probably gonna be people with either no insurance or poor insurance and those remanufactured materials might make a heck of a difference to help them get back on their feet a lot faster if they can recycle things and try to keep from just scrapping everything. The nation in the world is going to have to come to grips. Climate change is a real problem. I believe we could help change some of it immediately by cutting down our airline flights where we did during Covid disguise that you were some of the cleanest blue skies I seen since 1968 on this very farm.. The summer that you was good, no violent storms it did get hot, but it was within reason and easy to handle. I want to introduce a high-speed rail system that would be just below the ground and go is faster faster than an airplane and let the airline terminal run it so they don’t lose any jobs but try to cut back the big jet plane flights 25 to 35% see if that makes a difference I believe it will. I have seen what nothing in the air can cause for a storm. I live in Gaswell country and when they Frack, some of the biggest wells in Pennsylvania and that you could see a purple haze of a bubble of methane gas in the atmosphere I never seen anything like it my house to put it. Bartley was built like a brick shit house it was an 1855 farmhouse apparently a series jet it had three by fours on 12 inch centers with 3 inches of wood on the side including oak and I’m telling you I got on my knees and prayed for my wife because that house just sat there rumbling and it sounded like people through 200 mph sledgehammers at it the noise of things hitting the side of it was deafening and I believe that storm was because of that methane gas

How have they not determined the strength? The video clearly shows a multi vortex tornado that erased anything it touched. It was an EF5. the only good thing is it was moving fairly quickly.

[@buck608]

It was downgraded to a ef3 idk why

[@Apileofcheese]

@@buck608 it is an initial rating, the surveys aren't over

[@buck608]

Damn tornaders! Boy, I tell you what! Tornader went through this cornfield back in 1982!

Tornados are not fun it hurts Earth

[@josephedwards3359]

Are insurance companies canceling policies in the tornadoe core doors in your state ? Wildfires in the northwest insurances policies are being cancelled or jacked up 5 thousand dollars or more a year and once afire goes thru and there’s nothing else to burn they still keep it jacked up . Tornadoes are a yearly event what’s that policy cost as I don’t want to move to a tornado core door that covers 8 or 9 states?

[@takingchances9071]

What does knowing the wind speed of the tornado help? Town is obliterated either or, can't issue a ticket to God!

Very very sad I don't understand why people live where tornadoes exist

From Greenfield, I could hear the tornado as it was a block away, it took only thirty seconds to a minute to destroy 159 homes, it is bad. Loving all the help from everyone, love from Greenfield Iowa ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
