This tornado in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, was rough. In the immediate aftermath of the devastating Barnsdall, Oklahoma tornado, I helped a family escape their destroyed home. In this video you will see the true scale of the destruction the next morning, and hear firsthand accounts from survivors who lived through this horrific event. One sign of hope, as I help a victim of the tornado reunite with her missing dog who somehow survived the complete destruction of the home. A touching moment.
Looking to help? We'll be adding links to family fundraisers as soon as we get them!

uh, rescue? man, we have lowered the bar..or maybe it was just another excuse to take a shot at the police... they moved three pieces of trash which may or may not have been in the yard before the twister even hit....Not sure what the healthy young man standing on the porch was doing other than just standing around...

Omg I'm going to cry. The family with a paraplegic and their home destroyed. I was on You Tube with the storm chaser who drove through terrifying conditions as he watched the radar. He said this thing is huge with debris flying it's right in front of us so brace yourselves we're the first ones here. He parked got out and said get help and didn't come back for 2 hours. We were all putting out calls to get people out there and within 10 minutes people were everywhere. It was late at night and pouring rain but they showed up out of nowhere and began climbing through debris pulling people out. The chasers name is Brandon Copic he reports to Fox News. He was just distraught when he got back in the car. He said it's catastrophic and we couldn't find one older man he's probably dead. We found his keys still in the ignition of his truck but the door and panels were torn off. His name was Wayne. There's been one death reported I wonder if that was him. Pray for these poor people who've lost everything. I've lost a home in a hurricane before but not my vehicle or furniture and belongings. It took years to recover and buy another home, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

This hurts my heart seeing what these folks are going through. I live in Oklahoma about 45 minutes from Tulsa and last night was terrifying. While listening to the weather and hearing Travis Meyer (our trusted weather man in this area) say “this is a deadly storm” I felt helpless just waiting for it to hit Barnsdall. Sirens went off where I live but, thankfully nothing touched down. I’ve been through this as a kid though. Everyone walks around like a zombie just in shock but, everyone helps each other. The next day, you walk around looking through the rubble where you think your house stood. If you’re lucky, you’ll find something of yours that’s not destroyed and pull it from the mud and debris. These people are in my prayers. As are you,Jonathan. They need your help as they are all in shock after seeing their town destroyed. Stay safe 🙏

I have never seen your channel, I saw on Ryan Hall Y'all when these tornadoes hit, and I have been praying so hard for the precious people, while looking for updates, I saw your thumbnail and stopped instead of scrolling by and I'm so thankful I did... To see the sheer compassion you had for Georgia and her family, you got them help but you stayed with them. Most would have run off for more "footage" and said I'll tell them your here, you didn't. You stayed with them literally until they were taken to safety. What a beautiful human being you are. To see Courtney 's tears and then you found her dog and again didn't stop with passing the word, you stayed with that dog and told someone to get her and you waited with Courtney until her baby was in the truck with her and she was back with her Momma. The dog was so confused and traumatized you could literally see the desperate panic in Mesha, she was just trying to go home and couldn't find home until her Momma got there, you stayed right with her. Sir, I don't know you, I live in another part of the Country, but, you are the kind of human being that gives me HOPE for today and my children's tomorrows. You are showing by example how we were designed by God to be and what happens when we put others first and it's literally beauty in the carnage of destruction. I am subscribing to your channel and sharing you with all my friends and family and I am praying in Jesus Name that He blessed you beyond measure, you have truly touched my heart, deeply. I can't even find the appropriate words. You didn't leave them!!!! You cared and stepped in for those with a heartbeat from a baby to a beautiful child who is handicapped, a mom and Dad who didn't know what to do, a precious woman who lost all her worldly possessions and thought she lost her fur baby, you helped rescue 2 dogs, one with each family, you didn't leave them!! I don't know if you're aware of how rare that is with people desperate to get footage, but I've been following these things for a very long time, watching MANY show devastation and I have prayed so hard for those impacted, Ive given what I can to help extend the heart of Jesus and let them know we see them and do care, but, you Sir, took it to a whole new level. You didn't leave them!!! and the footage you got, because you stayed, was second to none!! Thank you, thank you for showing the truth of the situation, that people need help but you showed what was most important, as bad as the devastation is, there are real people in these piles of ruble. Real stories, Real families, Real pets, real human beings. These piles hold the lives of many, but there is so much more to each pile, real live humans, precious families and pets and you showed that. You showed the devastation but you showed the beauty to be found when you don't leave them. Thank you from the depths of my soul, you touched my heart more than words can express and through the prayers and tears you brought truth and hope! God bless you and keep you, and may your love and compassion for others radiate to people the world over. Be blessed and safe in Jesus Name. I'm sorry this is so long, it's so rare to see I am truly in awe. I just keep thinking, he didn't leave them. Wow! Great coverage, Amazing heart!

My family is in the Okemah area, all are thankfully okay (ya, we called 2 days ago), but to see the destruction is jaw dropping! Thank you for helping those that needed a hand & for staying calm in a AWFUL situation. Wow, gas leaks are no joke! Sending lots of love & prayers from California ❤❤

Great reporting as always Johnathan. I feel for these people. The tornado that hit Nashville in 2020 went through our subdivision I have lived in for 55+ years. It missed our house but destroyed 60+ houses in the neighborhood. It changed the landscape I have known since I was a young kid forever.

My heart goes out to all the victims and rescue services. Lets hope they all manage to rebuild their lives and mother nature doesnt return to destroy them any time soon.❤

It’s heartwarming to see individuals like this wonderful man helping the trapped family and others. I’d bet my bottom dollar he’s the type of person that reaches out and helps others before they themselves even realize they need help. His actions show all of us how we should treat our fellow mankind, with compassion, kindness, empathy and an open heart. I’m 68 and I remember when growing up when a situation came up and someone or a family was facing any type of hardships, neighbors, family, friends would all come together to help those it need for as long as it took. Thank you sir for showing and reminding us all that it shouldn’t take a disaster to bring us all together. May the good Lord bless you and all those who’ve lost everything.

Wow, man, this is very powerful video. This is what people need to watch to balance/level out all the sensationalism surrounding ‘Storm Chasers videos’. Nothing fun to watch when you see what really happens like in your video. Makes one hate tornadoes, and definitely, definitely promotes the importance of advanced warnings and the importance of quick response. Thank You for helping in all the capacity that you did here. This is what really matters. This video should be the millions of views! NOT the tornado itself!
