Daniel, the help you and many others gave removing tress was more than people realize. Getting trees removed from my house and property was very difficult, but I also had friends who just showed up with supplies, chain saws, and a willingness to work to exhaustion. Someone just willing to help when you are emotiknally exhausted and don't know where to begin is priceless.

Thank you for showing the "after the media has left" aspect of the tornado. Having survived the media is an accomplishment! If you haven't been thru a disaster, there is no way you can understand. It takes at least 5 years to recover. And things will never be the same. For years you will be trying to find something, and realize when it was lost, transporting right back to that first day of recovery. All of you are in our prayers, and our hearts.

[@davidbabin387]

Daniel, I being from the New Orleans Area have saw lots of damaging weather conditions in my area. I have been watching your videos for a long time, and purchased lots of merchandise from you through the years, but when I saw the damage you guys sustained, I just had to donate to the Bank Fund. I wasn't much, because I'm retired and don't have a great deal of income, but I knew in my heart that anything was worth something. Sulphur will be restored, to some degree, but it takes time. I pray all of the people who lost everything will get back on track, but I know it will be a long timeconsuming road. Be Safe, and God Bless all of you. Thanks for keeping us informed on the clean-up process!

I went through Katrina which hit the Mississippi coast in 2005 and Daniel's description of a bomb in the middle of a war zone is very apt, that is exactly what the Mississippi coast looked like from the western side of Bay St. Louis to the Eastern edge at Pascagoula and then on to the Alabama coast. I lost everything I owned but the most important things survived, I was safe as was my family, my cats were safe and unlike some my car was safe and I still had a job! But among my total loss was over 1 000 books, a few were first editions, all of my family photos (I was the keeper of all of the family photos) so it wasn't just my childhood photos that were lost, but my brothers and my children's and even to a lesser extent my cousins. I also lost all of the oil paintings my late husband had done and as you said, these are the things that you can never replace. UT life goes on and God is good!

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

You are so right Michael your pictures are the worst to lose because they can’t be replaced and it hurts your heart

[@deirdrepasko9056]

@@phyllisbrostrom7348 that's so sad. There is a simple way of restoring waterlogged books and photographs, but it takes electricity and bakers paper to do it. I learned this back in '05 when I worked in grounds maintenance at an apartment complex in a valley that had flooded. The boss woman sent me down to "help the librarian". I had no idea what was in store, and what I was about to learn. That "librarian" was the curator of a local museum who had priceless books in her home. She had me cut the baker's paper into certain sizes, which she then used to place between the books which she then placed inside a refrigerator! I kid you not! I was like, 😮. The refrigerator slowly dries the books out without molding, and the weight of the books keeps them from warping! The baker's paper is put between each book to keep them from sticking together! She stacked the books up on each rack to just below the top of each rack, and the top of the inside of the fridge, and left a small gap between the rows for airflow. It Actually WORKED!!!!!! The photographs were put on the bottom shelf which she put on stackable trays.

I encouraged each member to be empathetic and to develop a kinder heart toward others which you and Deejay have shown multiple times on your channel. I ended our program by mentioning that a youtuber ended each video with "Do something today to make someone smile because you never know, it just might change the world."

Daniel - people must fill out the SBA paperwork. It’s the only way to get to the grant programs in FEMA. SBA will get the paperwork to them. If they don’t get it - ask for it. I’m not sure what it’s like under this administration in a red state. I know what it’s been like in the past. But there is help. They should be opening recovery centers. There will be unemployment benefits specially created for disasters. Housing units will be brought in if the state requests them. Remember FEMA can only respond to the request of the state. OK is very well aware of the recovery process. Get involved. If something isn’t happening get with your city Govt. They are your key to the state making requests of FEMA. So many people don’t understand the process, it’s sad. The split of cleanup cost is normally 75%\25% the state pays 25% and FEMA pays 75%. It’s the push for safety and security. Historically FEMA covers the cost 100% in the first so many hours. And yes the slowdown is from the powers to be in the WH. There are historical programs and mitigation programs etc. The city and state needs to account for all the donations and volunteer hours. It helps to show how much money the community has already spent. All part of the equation. No it’s not fast. But it’s beneficial to the community in the long haul. FYI - the cabins may be able to be rented to responders. They can pay GSA rates and sometimes they have waivers to pay well above that rate when housing is limited.

@@Rondatompers.Yet they sent trillions to other countries. This President has failed us

[@donnaradonski2470]

@@Rondatompers. FEMA has its issues but it responds to the request of the state. It can only legally move on its own under devastation where the state is incapacitated. It’s really important for people to reach out to their city leaders and state for their needs. From there the state pushes the requests to FEMA. FEMA then coordinates with the appropriate agency whose normal function is in that area. The requests must come in from the state. The state can only request what the community requests. This is why things must remain at the state levels. Your government runs your state. Not the federal government. Don’t let anyone give those rights away.

Tornadoes are devastating and when it hits your town or community it's unreal. I've been in it before and it goes slow when cleaning up and rebuilding. Some things will never be rebuilt and some places will be horrid. Insurance, FEMA/Government, and community try and work together and it does get done but it's slow. Churches do an amazing job and help so very much. News media has done their job and they move on because there is always another storm or tragedy somewhere else. I'm so glad that you are keeping it alive for your family friends and community.

It's interesting that your town looks like this 3 weeks later. Lahaina, a year after the fires, looks about the same.

I’m Oklahoma born transplanted to Wisconsin. My very best memories are my summers with extended family and so many in Sulfur. Please keep updating your hometown’s progress!❤️🙏🏻❤️

This will be a true test of your city, county leaders and Chamber of Commerce to rebuild this community back better and stronger!!

[@LeannaRuthJensen]

I hope Sulphur pulls together and does not wait too long on the Fed. I believe you can do more for each other and faster. Neighbor helping neighbor is community building and a lot cheaper. Thank you for the update. Please keep us in the loop.

Thank you for updating us on your beautiful town. This reminds me of the first year I went to NOLA after Katrina. My husband and I and others from our church spent 10 years going to NOLA. First to demo, and gut, then to begin the rebuilding process and finally to celebrate families coming home. My heart is heavy and aches for your entire community. I wish there was a Physical way for me to help. We were always told that people need to tell their story to heal. Thank you for helping tell their stories. Blessings to your family and the Sulfur community.

SO Well Said... Thank You!!! 😇 🙏🏻

My heart goes out to all the people affected by storms including your small town Daniel. Also I hope the small charm feeling is revitalized to Sulpher and other communities affected❤

We have insurance for our contents and car full replacement. Wouldn't fully cover our contents. But full coverage on car. We would have enough money to get us started. We live week to week too. It can be done.

[@ingerdavis9869]

Dearest Mr. And Mrs. Arms Thank you for keeping me informed About Sulphur’s recovery!!! Please keep us informed!!! I treasure all of your reporting!! Well quite frankly I love any content you produce!!

[@angelpony1657]

Amen. Same Here!!! 😇 🙏🏻

[@theresagrosscup1968]

You showed the good between cleaning up and handing out meals. The news now s days is negative Nelly. They show what’s bad and move on. My heart breaks for Suffer. Thank you for showing exactly the devastation.you are the meaning of community.

[@jerryshowens3049]

Good Evening from Central Illinois. Thanks again for your updates. We're continuing to send prayers for everyone. I have a feeling there will be more pics like this with the storms going on and that are expected here this Evening.

Hear You... Praying God’s Protection Over All, ⚪️ 🙁 🙏🏻

[@diannecrockett5756]

I know your channel is the most legitimate honest channel on You Tube. I grew up in a small town. I understand what you are saying. As you and DeJay ride around, it’s heart wrenching. I appreciate all you and your family have done. Thank you for the sobering update. My thoughts and prayers are continuing for all affected. Much love to all❤️

[@cynthiastamper5696]

When you go through something like this you have to let it soak in and then you have to wait on the insurance company and the government. It takes so long to recover from something like this

[@shirleymoore4885]

Daniel everytime you show the destruction of Sulpher I cry so much damage there and I can’t even imagine the people who lost their homes and cars and personal items where to go, where to start over I hope that there is some mental help people there to help those who were devastated because I know if it were me I wouldn’t know where to begin your still in my prayers ❤️🙏❤️

[@andy6043]

I wish my tax dollars went to helping towns like yours instead of being used to help other countries who have been at war for 1000 + years.

[@lisaruiz6799]

Daniel & DeJay, I agree with Annie, y'all have one of the most authenic channels on KZbin. I for one appreciate your videos. I don't get to watch them daily but these disasters are very real and the aftermath as you said goes unseen. I appreciate you showing the aftermath videos because it takes several villages to come together and make things better. My heart is so shattered for so many folks. :'( Please, don't stop your aftermath videos. I want to keep up to date on them. It proves that people can come together and will come together. Continued prayers to you all. As well as big hugs.

[@carlapierle8623]

Thank you for the update. I have a friend who had a mobile home in Florida when Hurricane Idalia hit last year. Her home was completely destroyed and she, along with many others, were denied any help from FEMA. Right now our government is too occupied helping illegal immigrants and Ukraine to help Americans. Still praying for those affected by these terrible storms.

[@DavidSkeen-lf6kt]

We do not need to get involved with Ukraine and the war the Ukrainen people are having with Russia and Vladimir Putin. Biden should put the American people first and tell insurance compines to speed it up and start writing those checks

[@tinal.holloway2149]

I grew up in a small town. They help each other. Other things it that people have to deal with insurance. And that takes a lot of time. The people in that town. Are very trumatized. Their whole lives were turned upside. So they have to take it step by step. Give them some time. To heal. Lots of hugs and prayers for your town and anyone who was in the tornado. Or knew someone who was. Thank you Daniel for caring for your town.
