The storm chaser Freddy McKinney really was right in their path to save them and take them to the hospital, I’m so proud to know him, and am so grateful they are safe🙏🏻

Freddy McKinney is the amazing hero that rescued that family and their dog. He is a great storm chaser, who went out of his way to take them far way to the nearest hospital! A true hero! I watched this whole incident live on his channel. Thank God he was there at the right time to help that family. Bless you Freddy!

Crazy how cars in America are built better than houses.

@scarpfish 24 дня назад

They have to be. Cars have a much higher probability of getting into a messy situation than houses do. Homes have a fraction of 1% chance of being hit by any tornado much less a EF3+ one. If homes were built like you internet idealists say they should be, nobody could afford one, and many can barely afford them now.

Silver iodide cloud seeding? It’s rain season, but I can’t recall rain amounts like this happening this often. I keep reading about the government putting silver iodide into the skies to enhance rain possibilities. This is a fact and maybe the intentions were good initially. But sometimes good intentions lead to bad things and we need to re-evaluate. Question: Why isn’t this being talked about by meteorologist and why aren’t journalists reporting on cloud seeding and the effects of silver iodide. I’d like to hear from experts in the field. I have read they are cloud seeding in Texas.

@truthmarshal6627 23 дня назад

@@Trahzy I’m a native Texan. I have been around severe storms my entire life. Like I said in my comment, it’s rain season. Apparently few people know anything about silver iodide or cloud seeding. Massive flooding and Storms in Dubai now being blamed on cloud seeding. Not just seasonal storms. I was just wondering if anyone else has looked into cloud seeding.

@peterwilson4248 24 дня назад

I used to be stationed in San Antonio, TX back in the early 1990s and when the weather started to change from winter to spring, the weather would get violent. We didn't get that much rain, but the little we received, the ground couldn't absorb it fast enough, therefore it would flood badly. We also had lighting and hail storms, and occasionally, tornadoes would hit towns very near San Antonio but never in the three years I lived there did they form or touch down in San Antonio. The weather seems to be progressing far worse than it used to the world over. Perhaps there is such a thing as climate change; we can keep ignoring it all we want. The people south of the equator are going to suffer much worse than we are, especially the countries that are growing fast and improving their quality of life. Man is a very destructive creature.
