Powerful Tornado Strikes Kentucky Again - Previous Lessons Save Lives

[@AlexisDunlap-ox4yh]

What makes it better is that is the lovely chief Mike Opalek of Dawson Springs PD. Really shows the amount of compassion they have for their people. One of the many many reasons I moved to STL after being seriously injured and nearly dying in 2021 and everyone letting me lay there for 5 hours bleeding and fading in and out of consciousness because nobody "wanted to get blood in their car" 🙄 If it weren't for the nurses who showed up to the school and my dads friend Tommy for driving me there from the PD, I wouldn't have made it that night.

I don’t care what that officer had going on. Those people just lost everything and barely survived. You give them your back seat to keep warm and worry about the rest in a few moments. Ridiculous.

[@amydavis4945]

One could ALSO say that this reporter could have put his camera down and put this couple he was SO concerned about in HIS OWN car, and driven them somewhere "safe". They were UNinjured and were not a priority to emergency services. Police and Fire have an unbelieveable amount of things to take care of moments after a tornado.... things like finding out what roads are accessable, where the greatest damage is and possible injured that need to be evacuated there, live power lines down, people entrapped in basements or cars, gas leaks, etc. These folks were mobile and uninjured, and NOT a priority.

[@JonathanPetramala]

I understand giving the benefit of the doubt, but this just happened to me a couple of weeks ago in Barnsdall, Oklahoma. It is very frustrating that we don’t have solution based people in these positions. They just want to find a way to say no.

[@Jeffcatbuckeye]

Not really. There could be hundreds of people without homes. They are responding and assessing the situation. If they elected to pick up 2 people for a ride, while 2 other people would be seriously injured or potentially dying…people would be criticizing the cop and firefighters for not helping the people in more serious need.

That is definitely not their job during a mass casualty incident like this. These two would be one of the lowest priorities. They are not in shock-this term is so misunderstood and misused. They also have a storm shelter in which they can seek shelter from the elements. Most people had no electricity after the storm for days, so a roof over your head is about as good as anyone had.

Thank you for this video. I am here in Ohio county KY and we were scared last night because that tornado was headed for us. If it hadn’t been for that squall line from Indiana moving south and dissipating that super cell, we would have been hit too. We have nowhere to really shelter here but have done nothing about it either. For years we have always “lucked out” by storms going north or south of us. I think it’s about time we gave up on luck and got a storm shelter. What gave us all the time and warning we needed to be safe was the coverage of the storms by “Ryan Hall Y’all” on KZbin. Next time storms come, please watch him. He and his team save lives by warning us far in advance of what is on its way. Jonathan, thank you for your care and concern for us all.

That's nothing heroic, it's common sense & being human--passengers helped me stay calm, and in a strange way? We had a real nice time. People shared snacks, water, stories.

[@truthinlovecarissa6498]

I love that woman she just kept giving God the praise. It is a miracle they are all alive. Lord continue to be with them as their lives are rebuilt ..again.❤

[@JonathanPetramala]

She was so positive and very kind. Pleasure to meet her and her family.

[@paulstejskal]

NGL if I lived in Dawson Creek I'd want to move. What these people have been through I cannot imagine.

[@JonathanPetramala]

Understandable, but a lot of these folks are so intertwined with the community it’s hard to leave

[@paulstejskal]

@@JonathanPetramala yeah that makes sense.

[@tornadotrx]

Thanks for helping these poor people Jonathan this is amazing!

[@JonathanPetramala]

Absolutely, it wasn’t much but it was within my capabilities and I am glad I was there

[@JJ-kv1lx]

May God have Mercy on the survivers and keep them strong.

[@msierox]

I really like these stories showing how people survived. I always thought I’d be safe in my basement but these recent tornadoes are showing that isn’t enough.

[@JonathanPetramala]

I was so impressed how they decided to build that shelter after the 2021 tornado, just because they saw what happened in Dawson Springs…it was like a blender

[@michelleholland8460]

Jonathan bless you for the help and support you gave that couple and their little dog!🙏🏼💕

[@JonathanPetramala]

Kindness and patience I feel goes a long way. Thank you

[@JeannieHeck-x3e]

Thank you for being so kind to that couple

[@JonathanPetramala]

They just needed a little hand, it’s hard to emerge into a chaotic world like they did

[@susanchandler4820]

So heartbreaking. What great attitudes. God bless them

[@SunCoastFilms]

This just breaks my heart. I'm amazed how calm they were getting in the fire truck. Sending Prayers out to all of them.

[@SukiAwake]

You are a nice man, Jonathan.

[@JonathanPetramala]

I appreciate that!

[@terrifiorelli9819]

I just want to cry for all these people.

[@stonecoldyak]

Don’t you light that cigarette lady!!!!! All I could think when I seen it 😂

[@JonathanPetramala]

I am thankful her hands were full

[@nancygirl2323]

I was thinking the same thing!! 😂

[@trafficjon400]

@@nancygirl2323 maybe they were blessed.🙄 now that their life is in total shambles is absurd.

[@dubtroy331]

This dude help these people should have a raise were ever he works good for him

[@JonathanPetramala]

If I had an employer I would ask him ;) I really appreciate the sentiment, and if you follow and share that helps me a lot. Thank you!

[@marysiegel5763]

God bless these poor people!

[@TammyDobbs-ee2vi]

This gentleman was so nice and caring that helped them out of the shelter. Thank you to him! I wish more people were like him. God bless this family that lost their house and all were were affected.

[@JonathanPetramala]

I believe we all need to try to have each others backs and do what we can, glad I could offer a little help

[@scotabot7826]

Thank You for what you did for that couple Sir. You are a Angel sent from Heaven to help those people. You were so thoughtful and sweet, caring to them. I Thank You for being a Loving and wonderful person!!! As for that other person who is supposed to be a "community servant", I have a whole different set of feelings. He's the type that make them all look bad. Thank the Lord above, not all police are like him!!!!

[@JonathanPetramala]

I appreciate that but it’s just simply looking out for others in a tough moment. Glad I was there

[@busterhackler5383]

Ya protect and serve and let those people stand out in the rain and wind after they just rode out a tornado that left um without anything. Thanks for your service

[@hime273]

They are only there to Protect and Serve the "Public." Public=Government

[@MaxKent-j5e]

Kind man helping this couple.

[@JonathanPetramala]

Thank you

[@Disciple_2819]

God bless you brother. It's so saddening for these people that got hit twice in 3 years. My heart breaks for them. Thank you for helping these people. 🙏

[@JonathanPetramala]

It is hard to believe. I was checking in on friends in the area that I met after the 2021 tornado. They had just moved into their new home this year…like many folks in Barnsley, and so I can imagine the PTSD reliving that night as this one was happening.

[@DonnellPrince]

OMG……This is wild. Thank you for the life that was saved. Storm shelters are a must……The officer acted like a Boy Scout as if he owns the vehicle.

[@JonathanPetramala]

Wild world we live in where tax payers employees driving in tax payer cars just ignore the tax payer

[@SaWilliam]

Shout out to you for advocating for those people!! Truly amazing

[@JonathanPetramala]

🙏 we all have to look out for each other

[@SharonJacobs-r2h]

These folks are truly on the receiving end of the bad side of mother nature. God bless to all of those involved...❤

[@lianapw8306]

Bless you for what you did! A miracle they are alive!!

[@JonathanPetramala]

Absolutely

[@sandramccann6967]

Wow!!!! Praying for all involved

[@HeatherL7290]

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

I’m Australian I can’t understand how terrifying this was for everyone. God Bless them all. Thank you for helping others in need. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JonathanPetramala]

Absolutely, always have to have each others backs

[@darlenebradley6756]

I love the video of the guy showing off his shelter the next day...he was already busy cleaning up and had a trash bag in his hand! That's the spirit! Having lived on the Gulf Coast over 20 years, I've been through several hurricanes. I learned that getting out there as soon as it's safe and start cleaning up brings on a spirit of survival and empowerment! It brings out a sense of community and bonding like nothing else.

[@juliepietruszka5089]

Wow God bless that couple. So happy they had that storm cellar made. What a good loving caring husband to build that for them ❤

[@JonathanPetramala]

It was super impressive how well it was built. Good for them for learning from history and doing something proactive!

[@reshmeytharakan9726]

What a great guy to help this older woman. He was so sweet when he said, “Let’s make a path for her.” Scary. Praying for y’all in Kentucky from Texas. We don’t even have a basement or a storm shelter. I don’t know why that is not standard in n every home. May Jesus be with all of you! ❤️

[@JonathanPetramala]

It can be the best investment you can make

[@juliebessett8127]

I'm so weird….. I cry hard when I see kindness. Yet I wish everyone could see this video and feel His love 🎚♾

[@riley2lawrence895]

Praying for all that no more calamities to come, thanks for those who helped
