RIP to the victims of this tragic event ❤

EXCELLENT coverage of that devastating tornado... I recall it now that you have brought it up. Unfortunately, there have been so many tragedies since then, it's important to be revisited. **Let alone the loss of life, the massive destruction is truly evidenced by your THEN and NOW photos. Thank you for the timely, video clips, of the two, time periods. I marvel at the people who rebuilt. The "cleared" areas, and that thoughtful, respectful, park are constant reminders of what the residents of Joplin have been through. Thank you, for the excellent coverage of this tragedy, and for "showing" us the resilience of the people of Joplin. 🙏🏻🏡🌪 💔❤️‍🩹

Thanks Rhonda! It was so great to see Joplin today and how much it’s been rebuilt and they’ve recovered 😎✌️

When I sat down on my lunch break to watch this video, I didn’t expect to break down in tears. You did an excellent job on this! I visited Joplin a few years after the tornado. Rebuilding was still going on. The progress they made is impressive. Great job!

[@TravelswithNick]

Thanks you very much for the nice comment! I really appreciate that

[@BIGGER_RED]

You did an incredible job on this video. So much love and compassion was poured into making this and it definitely shows. It's crazy to think this is what tornados do cause when the tornado sirens go off here everyone goes outside to hang out and see if they can see anything

[@TravelswithNick]

Thanks!! I appreciate that a ton. I tried my best to make this video as respectful as I could 😊

William Richard Norton a senior had just graduated from highschool that same day. He was returning home with his dad when will got sucked into the tornado and died 😢

[@nem525]

[@TravelswithNick]

My home was 2503 Picher, 1 block from St John's. The number of people thatvwere killed didn't include the homeless or illegal immigrants from Eastern Europe, India or Hispanic. There were people living in the woods west of St John's.

[@TravelswithNick]

That’s crazy. Thanks for sharing that info

[@neowolf09]

Makes me wonder, if God sent the tornado and the angels, or if the angels rebelled against gods wrath.

[@TravelswithNick]

Very interesting way to think about it!

[@neowolf09]

@@TravelswithNick thank you! And thank you again for making the video. 🙏😇🩷

I was always told tornados are the devils work, God & angels work together

[@scottygdaman]

the sound is not good

[@Texasman1964]

What’s wrong with the sound? He sounds fine. You can clearly see he’s wearing a microphone

I did disaster relief there. I have some stories from the people there that were told to me and some stories on my own experiences. I'll never forget walking around ground zero, walking through the rubble and destruction and helping everybody I could. If you would like to hear these stories please feel free to reach out to me and I will gladly tell you. It's something I will never forget and probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life. @TravelswithNick

Man that must’ve been something. Can’t imagine. Thank you for your support during that difficult time
