Midwest Tornado Outbreak Devastated Greenfield, Iowa, Survivors' Stories 

Hi guys, thank you for your kind words and watching! Please check the description for fundraiser information! Also, like and share so more people can see and hopefully help!

Situations like this is why you should never be cold-hearted or mock others in their calamities. Today it might be me, but tomorrow it might be you. 🤕🤕🤕

Wow. Can’t believe they survived that with the basement looking that way!!!! How scary. Iowa has had a rough tornado season thus far.

I'm in Oklahoma and saw your video in Barnsdall. You came upon a family who were on their porch and the ramp leading to the house was damaged and they couldn't get a quadriplegic family member out. You gathered up several people and got them to safety. I was taken aback by your kindness and your way of making them feel less helpless. I could see how relieved they were to know they were going towards safety. You were so respectful of their privacy by not showing their faces only if they wanted you too. You did a wonderful job. Now days the norm is a reporter who sticks a mic. in peoples faces when they are in shock and disbelief of what they just survived. They were glad to see you!

Thank you for interviewing these folks. It humanizes these tragedies instead of people just viewing the destruction.

Man I could not even begin to imagine the fear and anxiety one would go through being in the pathway of a strong tornados then losing almost everything one owns. Dear God please wrap these families in your loving arms and help them during their recovery process. Grant them as much grace and support to get through this very traumatic weather event. Amen

Sensible and respectful coverage of the Monster Twister yesterday.

My deepest condolences to all those affected by this season's craziness.

I can't tell you how happy I am that the young woman and those children survived. 🙏

She said that was the first time in her life that she had ever Prayed. She said she only had time to say "Dear Lord" .... I believe that was enough. She is alive to tell her story. "THAT WAS ENOUGH"

I bet that woman starts watching the weather now. I'm grateful she survived.

I was caught in a real bad derracho about 10 years ago worst storm I've ever been in. Lived in a mobile home back then thought i was a goner. That day changed my whole outlook on storms an watches an warnings. I now live in a house with a full under ground basement i keep a bike helmet and safety glasses down there some water and peanut butter incase you would ever be trapped etc. Keep a solid plan and be able to access it in seconds if you have to. If you are ever caught in a violent storm it changes your outlook on these storms. So sad

Probably one of the best produced pieces I have ever seen on Tornado aftermath. 👏

All I do is cry, watch, and pray. Seeing the devastation of Greenfield seeing the faces in shock, my heart and prayers are with you all

Dear Lord, I am lying in my bed, very warm and cozy, watching the news and the terrible weather and what people are going through! I can only do one thing now and pray to God Almighty. Lord please give every person a clear sign of Your love. Give the people the strength to go forward, there is so much loss and damage, it is very sad to watch this and to see their faces and tears. With love from Cape Town SA.

I hope people are giving God praises of gratitude because only by His grace and mercy they live. It’s a grand miracle.

I just sent this to about 40 people and please all of you share so we can get this channel recognized.

So sad. Prayers for all the hurting and displaced families.

Praying for restoration and healing for Iowa in Jesus name. God bless and keep you all. ❤😭🙏

We seriously need to encourage states to fund the construction of tornado shelters throughout communities that we know they are prone too. This is just so heartbreaking to watch and it feels like it will only get worse over time. Prayers to those families and thank you Jonathan for the heartfelt depiction

That line of devastation through the town gave me chills. What a terrifying sight! Hope Shae and her family, along with the rest of her neighbors, area able to recover. I put some money in the GoFundMe to help out. Hope others will too, but don't forget other local charities who can get assistance in quickly and where it's needed.

It's very weird. I've watched and studied plenty of tornados but the videos are always after the fact. Yesterday I was watching multiple Livestreams and watching radar and it's just such an awful feeling to see the tornado form and track live as it is happening. Idk may just be me, but you just have such a sense of powerlessness. Pray that all those affected by this tornado can rebuild.

I watched this tornado live from Ryan Halls live stream I knew it was bad when the huge debris ball showed up on the radar. Glad most ppl got out with their lives.

Please keep praying young Lady! It was by the Grace of God that you and your baby are still alive!

My heart and prayers go out to the people of Greenfield and their families, friends and community.

Tornados 🌪️ suck! May we live in a time they don’t exist! 💗Blessings to all the families. May you all have peace beyond understanding 😇🙏🥰

Very impressive video, friend! It was very informative, respectful and professional. My heart goes out to all who have lost. xoxo

Neighbors, relatives, always treat people well, you never know who's got your back...

So heartbreaking! I hope everyone can recover and rebuild quickly. Tornado season has been crazy so far this yr.

Jonathan you have quickly become my favorite storyteller. Your news coverage is so respectful. Thank you for that! (Sharing to my FB page).

THANKYO SO MUCH FOR THE MAN WHO SAVE THE YOUNG WOMAN, & her baby. VERY QUICK THINKING. God Bless You. 🙏🫶👍🌻

this is just so heart breaking! God bless all of those in this disaster! just speechless!

Bless your heart's. Praying for you guy's 🙏🫶😢😥😢

I hope you get more views on this. Yours is the best yet. Imo thank you!!!

God showed mercy in the midst of the storm! Pure & simple reason how so many survived! Be thankful & bless His Holy Name!

Breaks my heart for these poor people 😮

I'm so happy that the young lady's family came and brought her to safety (as much as possible anyway) but scary to think that she wasn't already watching the radar with all of the warnings. I get that the news is depressing, but if he hadn't come to get her she might not have realized she need to take cover until it was on her. I hope she'll get an app and be alert if there is another storm in the future. Watching the hubby get emotional made me wonder how could one ever thank someone for running out into a tornado and pulling their wife and baby to safety. No words, money, gifts or favors could ever come close. I'm sure there are many other stories, perhaps even among strangers where people stepped up and helped. Ironic that a horrible tragedy can restore a little faith in humanity.

Drone footage makes all the difference! The path really stands out.

It is heartnbreaking. Im so sorry fot these people.

SENDING OUT PRAYERS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! STAY STRONG. FOLKS ARE OUT HERE WHO CARE!!!!

Prayers for everyone!!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, Jonathan. This has been such an ugly year for tornadoes. Every week over the last couple of months, there seems to be another damaging tornado (or more). Luckily the death toll has been relatively low because people are paying attention, and heeding warnings.

The young woman with the baby. The debris still stuck to her nose. Serious lesson. When buying home in Iowa, never skip a basement.

when she says - everything is destroyed - that wasnt hyperbole - EVERYTHING was destroyed.

May The Most High God bless our brothers and sisters

I know it's a little late now, but I wish everyone, especially people with babies and small children like that woman, would pay closer attention to watches and warnings (especially on high-risk days). We should never assume that it can't happen to us because it obviously happens to lots of people every year, all over the country. Whenever I hear about the potential for severe weather I make sure my phone, backup battery, headlamp and flashlight are charged, I have my identification and medications with me, and that I have decent shoes on. It also wouldn't hurt to have a helmet, bottled water, and some other supplies. We're lucky to have as much advanced warning as we do now, so we should take advantage of it. Ryan Hall, Y'all is a great channel to watch for sure

God bless all of them. May healing and recovery come to all who were effected.

Good report. Best wishes to all those affected and hopes for a quick recovery.

This breaks my heart. My heart goes out to all of you. God will provide, no matter what you’ve lost , you still have life and that is a lot to be thankful for. To all that may have lost a family member, you have my deepest condolences. Prayers for everyone.

Ypur on the ground coverage through these vicious tornados has been phenomenal.Prayers for these families who are enduring these tragedies and prayers for your strength because i know hearing these stories firsthand has to take its toll on you.

I believe in my heart that Ryan Hall Ya'll had a big part in saving lives. Thoughts and prayers to all those impacted 🙏❤️

Very good coverage my heart is with these families. Your demeanor means everything in times like this.

Praying for all of the families!

The bond these people will have now is a positive that we can take away from such a horrible tragedy.

My husband and I survived the Minden, IA tornado on April 26. The generosity of fellow Americans was overwhelming. We lost one gentleman who died from his wounds while protecting his dear wife. Greenfield has suffered terribly. Whatever you can do to help the Greenfield survivors financially, materially and with your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Prayers and support

Thank you for this video. Shows the randomness and the terror of the victims. People in CA have no idea but now I can share this

Hugs from Fort Wayne, Indiana ❤

Stay safe buddy good coverage, hope every one else could make it through ❤❤

My God Continue to Bless all these People 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you for your effort to tell the story behind the scenes.

Reed timber’s coverage was insane. I’d never seen 6+ subvortices until yesterday

So incredibly sad. We put so much effort, resources, and heart into our HOME. Like the saying goes “home is where the heart is”. It’s such a loss. A loss for a long time.

You know that God heard her prayer even before the words were spoken!

Oh my. I’m just passing on both good thought and sympathies to these folks.

Well done coverage. Thank you

We are to be there for our brothers and sisters who are hurting

prayers for these families

Boy, I NEVER think that it couldn't happen to me; it can happen to anyone.

I feel for all the families affected. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I have family that live in Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee they have had to take shelter a couple of times this year. Ryan Hall and Max's channels have been working hard tracking these storms trying to keep people informed.

I cried at the devastation these folks are going through. It’s hard to comprehend. I live in the Colorado mountains; so we don’t have natural disasters like this. Prayers for all.

How sad!!! My deepest condolences to everyone who have been affected by that tornado there.

Heart broken for you and your families. I’m so thrilled God hears every breath. He heard your wordless prayers.

Prayers!❤

It's just so surreal. So sad, thanks for sharing. We're in WI and had to take cover as well. Our NWS kept cutting into programming, as well as our favorite news station really teamed up to keep our area safe. Our windspeeds were clocked at 90mph.

Prayers from Houston

Excellent coverage. Well done.

thank you and God bless to the folks!

Wow! Thanks Jon

God protected many, many folks it seems. My heart is heavy for all the people impacted by this tornado disaster. Your courage and strength is amazing! God keep all of you in the coming days as you recuperate and support each other.

Prayers for these family’s🙏🙏🙏

🙏🏻 for the people of Greenfield Iowa

thanks for the upload, good to know

Great Report! Great Photography!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻‍♀️ Soooooooo Sad 😥

Ryan Hall Y’all gave many early warning!

Prayers go out to all of you😢

This was good reporting, tho’ sooo sad! I am in tears. The people featured are so dear: I send love and prayers. ❤️🙏💕

Sending Prayers 🙏🙏

There should be law or mandatory that every house has some sort of tornado shelter. Especially where tornadoes are prone to happen.

😢 I hope people who have pets are able to find them too 😢 and any family heirlooms.

In 2005, i was up in my bedroom oblivious, with a new baby, while my other children played outside. I had no internet, no weather radio, i was totally disconnected. A tornado went over my ridge and i only knew something was going on because suddenly the power was out and there were an unusual ammount of cars going by my home. Reason was the town a mile away got hit real bad by the Tornado and the roads were blocked! I was so upset. We had no basement and the thought if what i would have done if it had come my way haunted me. The next day i went to radio shack and bought a weather radio. A year later we moved to a house with a basement. That basement gives me such peace of mind in storms! Thanks for these videos. I love to see people being good humans, and this video showcases the best of humanity at the worst of times❤❤

Thank You Lord for giving her the idea to pray! Lord thank You for sparing them!!

Mind blowing.

They survived by the mercy & grace of God.

1st x viewer new subscriber. Great video!

Aww ya'll! *hugs* How incredibly intense and traumatic to experience and survive through. I pray for the lives lost and for those wounded to recover in God's Good Timing.

The best storm reporting I've seen.

Prayers from Ok 🙏🙏🙏

I have no words, except Thank you God for sparing those peoples lives!!!🙏🙏🙏

Gosh. This crazy storm. Glad people are safe. Just proof of why I stay fit- should I need to save myself from this crazy weather! Hope everyone is safe.
