4-28-2024 Marietta, OK Tornado destroys Dollar Tree warehouse throws cars drone 

screw dollar tree!

@@exploreraa983 Really? That dollar tree warehouse employs a decent amount of the population from marietta.... Doesn't include the other businesses effected

That is a massive economic disaster...whoever they supply in that region will delays re-stocking.

Good thing America just sent $95,000,000,000 to Ukraine and Israel....

​@@marilynharrell970Agree, it will impact many locations across Texas, not to mention the employees.

I know channel 9 in OKC warned Marietta of this tornado even though Marietta is really out of OKC viewing ares. In still in Oklahoma. But there's was much worse damage in Sulphur. I do feel for the people who probably lose their jobs from this tornado an😮 hopefully nobody lost their life

Then again, it also gives jobs to other people

They can still get unemployment benefits.

The warehouse employees will most likely be reassigned to cleanup detail. I doubt they'll miss any hours.

Funny to send prayers to the same god who could have stopped the destruction, but didn't. Doesn't matter, though. Gods aren't real.

@@EllEss331Sending prayers God Almighty Thanku Lord

One pallet at a time, rinse repeat until done.

technically by warehouse standards, if it is wet paper product or food product then it will go to a land fill. 3/4 of that stuff will be in a land fill. that doesn't include the freezer and fridge parts of the warehouse which is all headed to the trash. Its a crazy loss. Its big enough that its roughly 12,000 semi loads of product. Now imagine reordering all that product in a market with shortage issues. realize it would take at least 50 giant shipping freighters to refill it. This is going to affect our bottom line everywhere as dollar tree has to compete in the market to regain supplies lost. especially paper products

@@jakestarr4718Dollar Tree has already stated that their insurance should cover most, if not all, of the costs of the building and contents.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its worse than Ukraine and other countries destroyed by wars. Yet nobody rushes with aid to America.

Some of those trailers were loaded with heavy stuff like water bottles.

I have seen this type thing before several years ago I had left Dallas area, and apparently a tornado touched down by the flying J (where I had just gotten fuel 5 minutes prior , and it tossed around trucks and trailers in the schnieder terminal

wow!!

Going to take a while to clean that up

They were just tossed around like they were toy trucks. It gives a good idea of the power involved.

Fug dollar tree, they care about nothing but their mighty penny.

BAN WEATHER MODIFICATIONS AND EXPERIMENTS!

@@mdgtexas uhh. what? unless you mean everyone belching out CO2 and other greenhouse gasses with our cars and fossil fuel power plants, no one is "modifying and experimenting" with the weather.

@@time2fly2124 Texas hosts an "Annual Weather Modification Committee Meeting". You're welcome to join the next one, as the meetings are streamed on RU-vid.

weren't they already in a pickle before this?

I work for dollar tree as well and this is gonna hurt all of us.

@@AshleyBrawleywhat is dollar tree? Never been in one.

@@AshleyBrawley most definitely

​@@scottw595 , basically the same as Dollar General and Family Dollar. They push their cheap foreign crap and work their employees to death. I'll feel bad for the ones who depend on these places for their livelihood.

dollar tree and aldi share clover valley brand. the bulk of it is soaps, medications, paper products and food. realize its well over 8,000 semi loads of product. which means they have to compete in the market to resupply the outlets. everything essential is going up in price, the tornado created a demand.

its the weight of the product that held it ha

couldnt have happened to a nicer corporation, pfft.

The Dollar General that is in this area of Oklahoma has 5 buildings in its complex roughly the same size as this Dollar Tree warehouse. Five.

@@greglavers That is unbloodybelievable!! I live down under in Aotearoa New Zealand and there are no warehouses as humongous as these 'stuff storers' here. Hard to wrap my head around the amount of different products they contain....mostly made of plastic I guess and other cheap materials too. Still, people's lives and livelihoods have been affected by the mad weather events atm and for that I'm really sorry. I hope you and your whanau (family) are well and out of the 'line of fire'. Take care my friend, arohanui from a friendly Kiwi.

😢😢😢One person !!!commented!!that the Wheather!!!!!!😮😮 was NOT!!!!!! News!!! Really people!😮 This News !!!!!look and pray❤❤❤ I live Idaho, we get snow storms !but Not nothing like this😢😢😢 Pray for all !!!! Iam sooo!!! VERRY Sorrrry sad 😢😢😢😢 I save all these bad storm videoes

good thing America just sent $95,000,000,000 to Ukraine and Israel...

@@Slimedog1963 Yes, thank you Biden for caring more about other countries than your own.

@@Slimedog1963 news flash, that is money that has already been collected and going to those countries. and dollar tree surely has insurance to cover this damage, so get your bogus political crap out of here.

At least $100 worth of merchandise was damaged

Average size. About a million Sq feet. This is dc8. I'm in dc6 in pa.

It was a EF3

This effects several stores here in dfw , that’s us our warehouse . This is gonna hurt alot of people 😭..

I believe that warehouse serves all of Oklahoma, where I am, Texas, New Mexico, Kansas and colorado.

⁠@@staceyanderson3723Yes, and other states, too. I deliver to Dollar Tree’s from that DC to all those states you mentioned, as well as Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona.

We drove by it yesterday on our way home to Texas, it was still standing. Very sad to see!

Me also. I drove by a week ago to Dallas.

This kind of thing is pretty typical for Tornado Alley, actually. They've had much worse than this.

We were told no injuries in this building. I'm in pa, dc6.

@@zeekemotorsportz82 Thank you

Unfortunately, this tornado did kill 2 people, including a baby 😔

I doubt it was an EF5. I was in the gas station across the street, and felt it go over me (I was in a semi truck). It was definitely a crazy feeling once I saw the power shut down and the tornado pass right over me.

@@jmendozas197 NWS confirmed this tornado as an EF4. for an EF5 there has to be complete and total destruction to buildings affected by it, most notably, well built homes that are completely slabbed down to the foundation and cleaned off it.

From what I've read it got an ef-4 rating because of the warehouse

Was thinking the same thing... smh

Good thing America just sent $95,000,000,000 to Israel and Ukraine...they dont need it. Expect insurance rates to go...they cant take a loss on this...NOT ONE penny!!!

Nursing home, Homeland Grocery and Dollar General store. It’s total destruction as far as the eye can see.

​@nativechata9332 what about the other businesses there? The fast food places, the Robersons? I didn't see any of that

@@kathyfaulkenberry222 some damage but zero electricity to operate anything. They are beginning to start some clean up today but they still have no power except generators.

Someone on Facebook said there's damage by Byford storage.

insurance company will likely hire a liquidation company to go through it and try to sell what they can.

Our DC was flooded in 2011. They made us go thru the freight for salvageable items after the insurance company did their thing.

That's not EF-5 damage to a warehouse. Check out the Wrangler warehouse that was hit by the Hackleburg, AL EF 5 on April 27, 2011. Now THAT'S what an EF 5 does to a warehouse.

So how big was it, i now f5 can demolish building like paper, just think of the deadman tornadoe, now that what you call being stripped, for a truck to be tossed it would have wind speed over 200mph.

The preliminary reports rated it an EF-4

@@TiffanyJ89 Yes, the grocery store damage at 3:29 looks like EF4.

@@mond000 I was about to say because a lot of the buildings are in a EF-4 range type damage.

I'm in dc6. We were told there were only 5 ppl inside at Impact. No injuries, allegedly

@@zeekemotorsportz82 Makes sense since there only appears to be about that many cars in the lot. It's Wednesday and I still haven't been contacted by Dollar Tree yet. I've called 3 times. The fourth time there receptionist line stated their message box was full.

Where else could they put it? The entire region from Nebraska south to Texas and east about 600 miles is a tornado zone!!

You might as well say not to build warehouses in California because of the earthquakes or build in Florida because of hurricanes, literally nowhere is safe from Mother Nature

Sorry but this tornado did kill 2 people sadly

Likely weren't allowed to leave the warehouse. they have a smallish tech-media room built with cinderblocks and that's their safe room during a tornado. But geez what they had to do once they were allowed to leave. Had to have been scary. And if the tornado was tossing trailers image where they found their cars. I work there but on a different shift so I wasn't there that day.

@@greglavers yikes😱🙏🏻

I believe DLTR is a terrible, irresponsible company. There are good people working there, but management there is pretty evil, IMO

It's not possible to rebuild in place with that amount of damage. That gets into land owner politics trying to find a nearby site, most likely failing due to gouging. So no, consider it abandoned and the jobs lost.

No

American government must think about ghaza Muslims they are trouble due to support bad polices of American government 🤔 🙄

Junk turned into mmm junk ,...glad everyone made it out

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

God Blessed them alright!!!

Im sure they will take every penny from insurance even though everything isnt destroyed....
