One Week After Surviving a Tornado... (The Aftermath) 

Brad, 15 years of personal lines insurance experience here. Make sure you check with your agent or your policy term. Almost all HO3 forms (standard homeowner insurance contract) include a percent of coverage A (main dwelling) as coverage b (other structures), typically 10%. meaning if you have your home insured for $1,000,000, automatically you have $100,000 for other structures like detached garages, sheds, or even chicken coops and greenhouses!

You feel bad because you know Brad has the means to get it done himself……..but you also recognize that he’s offering the organization publicly and that’s priceless. Most people have to chainsaw the trees up into manageable rounds and stack them to eventually get them removed…..Brad just piles them and Asks Flair to move them with the Volvo …..which makes it WAY easier. Everybody wins, …. Brad gets his brush piles moved quickly, and Andrew gets an excuse to keep the excavator when Macy starts to question it :)

Cudos to all the great volunteers who reached out to tornado victims out of the goodness of their hearts! Blessed!

What an amazing blessing to have all of the volunteers to help clean up. You are a good person Brad, and good things happen to good people.

Awesome people! Humanity at its best. And I know what you mean Brad when you say you feel bad being helped when others may be worse off. And feeling that way shows that you're a good person. But, It really doesn't matter what you have, your family deserves some help also. I was born and raised in Florida, so I've been in and have dealt with many hurricanes and the massive destruction and clean up afterward, and the people that get to me are the ones who are very wealthy and they come out on day one angry that they are not receiving help with clean-up first. The very entitled ones who don't care about anyone but themselves. It may sound crazy, but I feel sorry for them the most because what they have lost within themselves is worse than any material things that may be lost.

My heart just sank when I heard that you were in that massive tornado,I thank God that you and your family are safe and uninjured,I cried tears of joy when I seen that volunteers came to help you clean up the damage,you are a humble man who has spent his whole life working and doing for others,and men like you find it hard to accept help when it comes to your own needs,a true blessing in your hour of need.God bless you and all the men who came to the aid of their community.

What a great group of people that came to help out!

Its a blessing in disguise. Those trees will look amazing in 10 years. Mother nature will always take control

I just love the way that the community get togehter and help each other without any ulterior motives.

Brad, this video had me misty-eyed at a few points. I'm very grateful that the community where you live is as wonderful as you and your family are. It is evident by the folks that are there helping, that Omaha is a pretty special place full of some pretty special people. I bet you have a good idea who to toss a few landscaping jobs to once things are back to normal, although that likely feels a loooooong way off. I don't know if any of the folks who helped you out are going to see this video, but if they do and they read these comments, I want to thank them myself. Here I am in Alberta, Canada but getting to know Brad over the last couple of years has been a true pleasure. He is genuinely a good man, business owner, dad, grandpa, neighbour and hubby. He is often going out of his way to enrich the lives of others, whether it is his family, crew, clients and friends here on his channel who have grown to respect and appreciate him a great deal. Thank you for going out of your way to help him and his family with the clean-up. You are honourable, genuine people. Another point, Brad, is the fact that you mentioned that you felt badly that these guys were there to help you. The lawn crew said it well when they said that it is the right thing to do is to help others when they have the know-how, equipment and ability to do so. If there is one thing I've learned since becoming disabled to the extent I am is everyone needs a shoulder, an ear and a helping hand from time to time. It's how you accept the help and repay it or pay it forward later that is most important. You do so many good things for people; please don't ever feel unworthy of accepting a bit of help in return. You know how good you feel when you can help others who need it. Why do you feel you are not worthy of that same treatment? You are! Think of it as you are providing those folks with that same good feeling knowing they did a good thing for someone else. They'll go home at the end of the day and sleep well knowing they contributed to the relief efforts following such a devastating time. Stay strong, Brad, family, volunteers, neighbours, friends... heck I wish Nebraska the very best. I'm so sorry you had this happen, but please know that this old gal in Alberta is thinking of you often and praying that everyone is okay in the end. Remember... stuff is stuff. People matter. xo Heather🇨🇦

Brad, I just saw the video. Great job in showcasing your journey through à tornado disaster. Americans want to see how the midwest is overcoming this. You honor all us men and women volunteers 😍🤩❤️. All the best!

Thanks for all the volunteers that helped you get those trees out and the plastic from the greenhouse out of the way

what a blessing that people are out to help others. If I lived closer I'd help. My granddaughter and her parents only had minor damage to their vehicles due to hail.

Wish I was closer to you and Flair. I'd give a hand for you guys without a thought.

Glad everyone's safe and not too much damage!

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Thoughts and prayers to everyone that was affected by the tornado.

Great that you are safe and you have help!

Sung is a damn beast! Shout out to all the crews that came in to help!

Any other time, I’d have a “Navy” joke with me being Army… But definitely not this time. So glad you got some help @Brad.. I’m like you.. Willing to help everyone else, but I can handle my own stuff and to much pride to ask for help. Especially when others need it as well. I hate like anything that yall got hit.. But you still have your families and your health.. I guess that’s about all you can say is good out of such a devastating situation.. Prayers for all of you brother.

Amazing! Do for others, what you want them to do for you. What a great community!

Great update!! Was nice to hear what the lawn care people said "The community helps them so they want to help the community in time of need". Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍

Thoughts and prayers

You guys have some good people in Nebraska!!!!!

God bless Brad! Glad you and yours made it! Been in some nasty floods but no big wind events! What it does is make you thankful at night when you know God spared your loved ones! I will always be thankful for that !

Wow!! Love to see community coming together Brad!! Sung is a special kind of guy! Continued prayers for the people affected up there....

Mr. hung was awesome. Cheers.

Ryan Harrahill! Gonna be one hell of a pitcher for the Huskers! 6’4 and a killer arm! GBR

Kuddos to all those volunteers. I would have felt the same way Brad, peoples houses and lively hoods were destroyed and they wanted to basicky clean your yard, but I get it that they had to wait on insurance..

i know how scary tornadoes can be- I was in a house when I was a teenager that was destroyed by a tornado- we were in the bathroom under the stairs and when we came out everything was gone except the staircase.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone. Sorry I'm a day late watching.

Those ppl are amazing! Brad you still need help. Glad they were there for you!

I must say you build a good house with all the damage around and how your and flairs house made out

That's really great to have so many helping hands ! 👍🙏🎺

That is Amazing!!! I wish i had the resources, i would be up there in a second. I can barely afford to stay home! When i make it in life, i would definitely volunteer like that

God bless each and every one that came to help

See Mr. Brown, karma is a real thing sir. U took care of me and u were a stranger. Look at all these strangers helping u out now. UR AN AMAZING MAN SIR.

Brad, what happened with your son's? Anyway, I'm glad to see caring people come together and volunteer.

Fundraising 💡 idea! You and flair do a moving on healing burn pile live stream burn. Take all the money raised during stream to rebuild one wounded veteran or single mothers home who didn’t have insurance…

So sorry Brad you and your family had to go through this I am praying for you all Take care Brad and I hope patch is ok.

I live a hour away from St. Louis good arborist in the ozarks

Brad the builder can he fix it yes he can!

When you said "where there is a will there's a way" to the chap with the long beard 8:47, I couldn't help but think "where there's a Willy, there's a way!"🤣 Meant lovingly... I love Willly Nelson! That dude, as with all the others, was workin' hard! Heather 🇨🇦

Love from Scotland

You and flair should have a huge bon fire with all the brush at the end of clean up.. light it in maybe a pew pew fashion some how. Can of gas and flair's 50 pew pew.. just a thought as you said you'll have a huge burn pile at the end of it all.. glad you made it out Brad. Good luck with the clean up. Stay in good spirits like you are. . God bless 🙏

If my neighbor had a 300 size excavator i would just ask him to come and pull some of those broken trees.. instead of going a 3 way rope pull.. I cut down some big birch trees on my property last year, had to bring in a tractor to pull them over.. its a lot of work! ALso fun to see the bluntness of all these saws they are using.. shapen ur tools people! good work though.

Keep up the amazing work prayers for all that was affected

Try and make the biggest camp fire ever recorded with all that wood. Flames higher than the trees. Lol. You and flair both can combine your wood and make a great vid

Just finished up with Flair's video, hope you and your family are doing well Brad. ❤️‍🩹

Awesome video as always Brad 🎉 x ❤

Don't burn all of it, use some for flairs pond Glad everyone's okay buttt I wouldn't burn any of it tho.. (co2 blah blah I've said it before) but mulch it or bury it better carbon cycle.. ik its the least of your worries but just think every bit less of co2 helps

Continued prayers God bless

10:35 the shirt gives me John Lithgow on Dexter vibes 🔨

I see a lot of pont structure

It's so very sad to see all of those beautiful trees down. You'll have firewood for the rest of your life. Maybe Tom can make something amazing and memorable from some of it!? The gentleman with the hard hat (I think you said his name was Sung) sure knows his stuff. What a blessing to have someone like him running the show. You know he knows what he's doing and is going to do it well. I have to say, I think he has the longest chainsaw I've ever seen 14:15! Ok... that's enough comments, haha. Sorry Brad. I think this is #3 or 4. Heather🇨🇦

Really wish I could help. I don’t have money but I have hard working hands.

Racking in the money

How did the metal fence hold up?

If you’re just going to burn the trees, they should be sold for fire wood. So, the money can be used for tornado releaf.

Wonderful volunteers, chainsaw operators were sketchy. If you know, you know.

I think sthil needs to sponsor you some saws

What was the ef of the tornado? Now you can say you build houses that can stand up to tornado winds!

Was that uncle Si I saw near the green house?

This was a bad tornado and i hope everyone is okay and can rebuild but they keep calling it one of the strongest but i was at the joplin missouri tornado and that was way bigger

Wasn't it,1976 when a tornado went through Omaha down Dodge St.

You and flair should team up and have a big bon fire with all of the sticks. This would be a way for everyone in the city too come together after all of this

Why weren’t you working too?

I think the women newscaster who said possibly the strongest tornado ever was misinformed look into it their have been many more especially the ef5 in el Reno 2.5 plus miles wide winds over 320 mph lifting semi trailer like restarts it’s was the biggest and wrist ever

You could at least by them lunch , or snacks , not cool Brad

Wow ,Brad this crew is a God send😇. My buddies went to Oklahoma and pitched in. Talk about Toothpick houses🫡. Beautiful people🎉. Take care Brad❤. JO JO IN VT 💞
