We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

Having lived through several hurricanes down here in South Florida, I know the terror and suffering that you (and especially the kids) are going through (one time I had no power for 11 days in the heat of Florida!). Thank god, you guys are such a diligent and more than capable couple that pay attention to what you're doing that your house & electric grid are safe. Do NOT blame yourselves for anything that happened as there is no way to know anything like this could happen. I am sorry for what animals and things you built that were lost. We all know how much physically and emotionally you put into all your projects. Your kids are nothing short of AMAZING, seeing what they did to help put things back in some order. AMAZING!! I wish you a quick and safe recovery...Michael V.

@lindaleal809 Год назад

@@megflat2981 Good idea. While most families have a plan for storms and evacuation. this is a reminder that a plan with some basics is important. We have tornadoes in Iowa often so as a kid I knew the drill when I saw the clouds I hit the basement. Mother always had all we would need in place. After the storm, we checked our farm and then drove around the area to check on neighbors (all before cellphones etc.) Kids are not too young to learn what they should do in emergencies and they should feel powerful (as much as they can be) to protect themselves. So glad that this family is safe. We watch this family in a year of additional challenges but a year of growth between parents and kids. This is one strong family and I wish them all the success possible.

I guess this means you will be doing some other means to protect your animals in the very near future. The loss of the sheet rock is also hard. Not sure if you have insurance, but if not, some of the sheet rock could be salvaged. You will just have to sort through it if you haven't already. WOW!! What a storm!

We survived and found that just to the east of us they experienced 5+" hail that penetrated roofs. As Josh said, "It could have been worse" I'm glad you survived with minimal casualties.

That storm was insane! Off the surface winds (meaning the stuff above the ground by maybe 100 feet or so) were showing winds upwards of 100mph on the radar. I am sure there are a lot of lessons learned from this, but there were also a lot of things spared. You all are alright and that is all that matters. I am sorry for the losses. One note, I was young when some very severe weather went through my yard and it caused a lot of post-trauma when storms would come later. It is important to share that this was a rare event with the kids as every storm will become a stressed filled event depending on how you all deal with it. I know each kid is unique, but when I had a storm like this when I was little it also sparked in me a love for weather and meteorology which helped me understand what causes bad storms and how to look at the radar and other things so I know what to expect when severe weather approaches. Hope all dries up well and no more losses!

So sorry for what happened to you. It’s heartbreaking I know but all you can do is keep going. We live on the Texas gulf coast and every year we deal with tropical storms and hurricanes. Winds can get quite high and it causes devastation. But just thank God you are safe and repair what you can and keep going. Communities and friends will come together and help each other here. We are always thankful for the help cleaning up debris and making repairs and we try to do the same for others.

We just went through this a month ago on our farm. We had 110 mph winds and lots of damage. Prayers for you

I'm glad you guys are ok, I have a 6 year old daughter and hearing your daughter cry from fear broke my heart. I'm not gonna lie, my eyes got a little watery....but in the end things can be replaced so again glad you all are ok.

Sorry to see the storm damage. You are so blessed; it could have been so much worse. I highly Recommend a storm shelter. Dec. 10, 2021, an EF4 tornado hit us here in Western Kentucky and totaled everything we owned and our home.8 months later and were still rebuilding. I will be praying for the whole family. My prayer is the Lord pours his blessings upon your family

wow! Feel for you guys. Being from SW Missouri, I know how these popup storms can be. The Joplin F5 tornado was crazy, but even small tornadoes or high wind events can be devastation and scary!

Kentucky here and I was thinking the same thing. Especially when I saw it started to hail. Tornadoes are scary.

I’m so glad you are all safe. Especially my friend LEON! Hammer and nails, mops and pails. You guys are gonna make it! We are all with you 100%, at over a million strong, we got this! Much love always.

Always remember lives are more important than material things. You are all OK, and you have the ability and the means to repair and replace what was damaged. Always be thankful.

So sorry you guys had to endure this storm. So thankful your family, most of your animals and home you worked so hard for are safe!

My heart goes out to your whole family. Hearing Ellie’s screams of terror hit me hard. Way to hold it together, Josh & Erin! I think my buddy says it best, “Time and pressure makes diamonds.” Y’all are well on your way to absolute beauty.

I had tears running the entire time I watched this! I’m so grateful your family and home were safe! I’m so sorry about the animals and destruction! Heart breaking…..but if any family can persevere, it’s you guys! Sending lots of love your way! Look at what you’ve built and how strong it is! 💪🏻😉💜🙏🏽

Wow incredibly scary. I am glad you all came through this nightmare. I'm sorry for the devastation of your hard work. I am sending sincere hugs. I hope your kitties are OK too x

@thawk4016 Год назад

So glad everyone is safe. That's the main thing. So sorry for your loss.

As the episode faded with you and Josh looking out your window, I was flooded with thanks that you had the strength and skill to construct this sturdy homeplace, and that you were all safe, and protected. Had this happened during construction, I fear there would be more destruction. Hard lessons teach proactive solutions....I am betting you have already concocted plans to protect the animals from future storms. Hoping your reno didn't suffer damage, and that your garden survived the hail. Love to all!💗

Hello Bridget how are you doing

@cleoeleson1217 Год назад

It’s a blessing your family and the animals are alright. Our neighborhood had a small tornado blow through about three months ago. A lot of roofs damaged and trees knocked down or snapped off. Two homes were destroyed. Winds were 90+ mph. That was a scary couple of minutes, that’s all it lasted. Good luck moving forward. You need a trap door to get under the house without going outside.
