Tracing the 165-mile path of the Kentucky tornado’s destruction l ABCNL 

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sorry for your less. So devastating.

So sorry for your loss.

@@haristhebosniaklion8584 get your stupid ass on some where.

I live in Kentucky (we were under tornado warnings from this storm system but thank god the storm over our area never produced any) and we had our first tornado in our country for over 50 years just last year. My heart really goes out to all those who lost not only their homes but their loved ones in this horrible storm

Yes but the 2004 tsunami was way worse

why wasn't the military call to stop this thing with figther jets,why?

why was not the military called to make this thing stop? why?

@@jlo13800 please tell me all of your comments like this are sarcasm. And after you tell me that, please explain why & how it’s appropriate to comment (multiple times even) with sarcasm about all these peoples homes/lives being destroyed.

Emma DeFazio, comments like yours are unnecessary, insensitive, and hurtful to people who’ve lost everything.

You can thank Liberals and Democrats for the help you are getting. Republicans voted to end disaster funding.

@@happytobealive5045 you people will never waste a tragedy to further a political agenda. Get a life

One problem, friend. My state is way better than Kentucky as are more than half of all states. My state doesn’t need to look to Kentucky as an example. You’re trying to congratulate Kentucky for doing the bare minimum that is expected in a natural disaster…which they are not doing by themselves. The Federal Government is footing the bill here. Trust me, NO ONE needs to or ever will look to Kentucky as an example for anything. Well, we can look to them as a perfect example of a welfare state, so we can make sure we don’t do that.

@@kenc1000 Wow. Your lack of compassion for human life and emergency responses in 1 particular state is repulsive. Simply because it’s KENTUCKY. While other states were affected and lives lost, Kentucky suffered the MOST this day. Our governor (and I don’t agree with him on many things, ) sprung into action and got a Federal declaration as soon as he could, and the President signed it. While the State of Emergency allows Federal funds and assets to come in quicker, they are not the only source of assistance. MANY, and I mean MANY Kentucky residents and Businesses sprung into action as soon as they could. For example, there was a huge group of food truck operators who went down to provide feee hot meals who needed them. Not only that, there were people (not having a lot themselves), who showed up with a grill and food just to help. I’m about 2 hours away from Mayfield if you go North East. In fact, our little town was on the news as a direct hit. The emergency broadcast system said this was a “life threatening situation” and to seek shelter immediately. In all my years I’ve never seen the EBS send out a tornado warning that included “life threatening tornado” as part of the warning. Since the tornado had been on the ground for so long, along with radar, we had at least 30 minutes of advanced notification. We were SO lucky as the twister picked up right before it reached county, moved over us; then dropped back down after moving over us and our county I don’t know where you are from, but from what you said In you comments, “NO ONE should look to Kentucky” (implying that Kentucky is not a good example for anything). As if we can’t come up with good ideas. It’s our PEOPLE who are the true heroes. I know some people in our area still going to affected areas to see what is needed.

Kinda, similar to hurricane house. There was a story about this a few years back. They build a hurricane resistant house and a hurricane went through the neighborhood and it survived while nothing else did. The issue was the cost of building the house was 3-5 times the cost of constructing a normal house. I'm sure there are researchers and engineers out there that already have an idea what makes a good house against tornado is. But the issue cost. Fast wind flowing over the roof creates lift like an airplane. And houses which are mainly empty air can get sucked up. Then you have loose debris to worry about.

why was not the military called to stop this with figther jets? Why not?

@@jlo13800 The false-alarm rate would make it cost-prohibitive, assuming that doing something with a fighter jet to a tornado would even work. There are thousands of tornados a year and you never know which ones are going to become super-deadly and which ones aren't. If you sent a fighter jet after every single one, it would be way too much money.

@@jlo13800 and do what?

@@AH-xs3hg & Bruce went off in to left field somewhere with this. I mean, come on guys, where’s the respect for everyone who was effected?

Last I checked dogs were not the driving force for climate change.

@@robertpitts671 but since you brought up climate change, read the book “the sea around us“ by Rachel Carson…. The world has been warming up for hundreds and hundreds of years… This is a force unstoppable. And if by some remarkable chance you actually read this book, you have to be in a place where you can relax and just enjoy reading a book and not read it with expectation… Just let it come to you naturally. I promise you your opinion on climate change will change.

Kentucky was hit worse

This is really nice not to religious more spiritual. Thank you for these words. Very true 🙂

Rebuild ! What?🤔and go back and do the same thing the same mess that Marko Rodin describes in his Vortex Mathematics videos part though 19 or what ever 🤔And to hear of his description of the Bah-hia faith goes to show you that in some Folks🌈👁or 💡mind that there is more than 1 god! Or faith of belief system at play📡🌆🎸🚂in this meteorology playgamesmenship.

Do they have a choice?

@@kentuckybeararms2779 Truth is not always pretty.

Why not?

Some people who aren’t saved and never accepted Jesus never acknowledge Jesus until it’s to late ! And they live in tornado ally too should reconsider moving!

@@isaacmalcolm8595 "Too" not "to". "Alley" not "ally".

Amen.

And if not his dumb ass will destroy you in a tornado. What a pos that character is from the Bible.

@@haristhebosniaklion8584 Give it to God, let him sort them out

@@haristhebosniaklion8584 And that is Sad and uncalled for but we cant control all that no more than we can control the tornado path.

Are earthquakes and tsunamis gonna be more common too?

Emma DeFazio Called weather warfare... I’m purpose; against the world

Its about to get serious

I mean to be honest I would rather have weather disasters than say earthquakes tsunamis and volcanic eruptions

Emma DeFazio Don’t you consider those disasters weather related? Tsunami’s, earthquakes, volcanoes

I still think it was was twin tornado, two merged into one Because of the width of damage, how many blocks wide did it destroy. So sad.😢

As someone who lived though the EF-3 in Jonesboro Arkansas, with "minor" damage about 50k to the house and 15k to my truck, it's not the government that helps you after devastation like this, it's regular people. No one died despite the tornado starting in basically the center of town and hitting multiple subdivisions, it even hit the mall, I have what might be the last video ever in the mall, it shut down due to covid like 2 days before the tornado hit, I have video's inside the mall the day before it closed, with not a soul in it pretty much other than me and workers. Even as far as charities they were "here" a guy from the red cross threw me a can of bush water "I saved it probably worth more to me that way" as I had running water. Regular people helped each other tarp roofs and helped people clean up, it wasn't the government, they passed some sort of disaster bill for the tornado, but oddly enough I think 90% of the money went to government buildings that were damaged "Wiped a post office and badly damaged the air port" the other 10% of "aid" i'm pretty sure went to a tax deduction, I think I got a 500$ tax break for being affected by a natural disaster. I already can tell you what people in mayfield are going through. If the house was a complete loss the insurance pays the cost of the house "original purchase price" in most cases, and especially since the boom in the estate market this is likely 50% less than what current market value is for the houses people had. If someone had a total loss vehicle they paid the deductible and got paid whatever the "fair market value" was for their vehicle, I've heard insurance companies are ignoring the huge price increase of used vehicles so probably no where near what they had was worth. To put it in prospective, my house was 1 year old, I had to get a new roof and some new windows, and a new HVAC unit. Insurance pays upon deprecation, a regular shingle roof is considered to last 15 years, no matter the quality of shingles you had, so I paid my 1k deductible then had to argue with my insurance company that Yes the 6ft hole on the right side of my roof, the 6 foot hole on the left side of my roof, and the multiple other 1ft holes all around my roof justified a new roof, it went to the point that they tried blaming my builder for "not installing the roof correctly" to where he called my insurance company and said "Yes every roof beside this house was blown clean off I think I did a good job" as for my truck, I paid 1k deductible and they didn't fight over the 15k repair bill. At the end of the day I was out like 3k between deductibles and 1 year of deprecation on what was replaced on my house. Trust me the government does 0 after a tornado, it's regular ass people and local companies that lead the recovery.

@@Monsiemage , I totally believe you even though I’ve never been in such an unfortunate and devastating situation. What pisses me off is that the government has the money to get things done. It appropriates billions of dollars to the military, but always gives excuses for helping ordinary citizens. Many people recover from the damages through lots of struggle and pain, but many do not because they don’t have the money and resources. Sorry for what you went through, but glad you made it through.

prob because FIMA doesn't exist. Oh, you meant FEMA. How do you f that up? It's an acronym. LOL

@@MacAutomationTips It wasn't to bad, and trust me I know what you are saying, the government waste 70% of the money we use to fund things anyway honestly, kind of like in Oakland I small group people filled more potholes than the city did with 20k in donations, the city had over 100 million a year put aside to fix potholes. Someone's got to be pocketing money everywhere

@@JoeDiVitaMusic , yes, that’s what I meant, FEMA.

From what I've read, the USA is the only place on earth that has regular tornado seasons. Tornadoes rarely happen on other continents.

It happens now and then. You can look up famous tornado outbreaks and see they when occurred. If you live in the middle of the country, you know that tornadoes happen. Oklahoma has the most tornadoes but as it is dry and largely rural, the small tornadoes rarely make the national news. In wetter areas the tornadoes tend to be larger and as these areas tend to have more people, the destruction is all over the news. There are of course exceptions such as when a small town in, say, Kansas is wiped out. Now, hurricanes might be getting worse and the season is running longer as the temperature of the oceans rises, because warm water feeds them. If you are worried, read up on reputable websites and learn the truth on what is happening and what you can do to be safe. We are a large country so we experience everything nature throws at humans. Remember that humans are resilient and after every disaster anywhere in the world they grieve and they rebuild, a lot better if at all possible.

@@karenclausen6724 Read wiki? Canada experiences the second most tornadoes. Ontario and the prairie provinces see the highest frequency, particularly with southward extent. Other areas of the world that have frequent tornadoes include significant portions of Europe, South Africa, Philippines, Bangladesh, parts of Argentina, Uruguay, and southern and southeast Brazil, northern Mexico, New Zealand, and far eastern Asia.

@@653j521 yeah but the U.S sees well over 1,000 tornadoes per year. Even Canada, the second most only sees like around 100 or so per year.

These people are learning first hand how the insurance companies are screwing them. Keep in mind it is the Republicans who support their behavior.

yes it originally was the one that started in Jonesboro, AR. But It picked up after going through Samburg, TN and came back down in Cayce, KY. They then determined that it was 2 seperate tornados.

@@alysonboyer4931 ah

Not God ....Man ...Haarp and Direct Énergy weapon

@@josephbrown8662 yes it's God you degenerate colorless heathen

Mother nature? . seriously 🤔😄 . I can't help but think .. shouldn't she be retired by now . taking it easy . instead of upping her game every single year. storms etc getting bigger and more destructive 🤪. ...Walmart 🤫

The heart of Tornado Alley includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and South Dakota. Kentucky is not technically in Tornado Alley. However, tornadoes are the one natural disaster which can occur in ANY state, under the right conditions.

@@susanmcintyre5377 Thank you for clarifying my inaccurate generalization. Learning something new every day! 😉

It did.

They gave it an EF4 rating. Although, I believe it has the merit to earn an EF5. But I obviously don’t work for the NWS and they have a strict set of bullet points to follow when rating.

Most conservatives are incredibly stupid.

While we get tornadoes in KY, they were never as powerful as ones in OKlahoma. So a basement was considered safe. Storm shelters are mostly seen in Tornado Alley. Many are poor and wouldn’t be able to build them. This is a lot easier to say than so. It had been my plant I’d have sent everyone home. There are designed area for shelter but we can all see no matter nothing would protect. You’re correct. Life over a job. Probably didn’t think it’s be as bad as they said. So sad

For that comment you get an Amen from this atheist!😊

??

Wow. Harsh.

Please re-write this so it's understandable.

Oh shut up. Tornadoes are down. We haven't had an ef5 in years

@@phillycannon6771 Sounds like you aren't right.

@@duvine3882 uhh no I'm not it's been Years since an ef5 genius. Look it up

@@phillycannon6771 Look it up where?; independent science studies by universities or government science websites?.

@@duvine3882 We literally still haven't. 2013 Moore was the most recent

yea yea yea...
