Aerial video shows extensive damage to parts of West Little Rock. The Calais Forest Apartment Complex was heavily damaged. Many homes and businesses were heavily damaged or destroyed. People were already going through the debris trying to salvage what they could.
As someone who lives in a town that got hit by this tornado, I just wanna say that I appreciate all of the kind words and consideration so many people are pouring out here. I know people like to make fun of "thoughts and prayers" but it legitimately warms my heart to see so much compassion.
Oh my goodness.. I hope you and family and pet's, are all ok.. How do we explain these year around tornadoes?! They use to be seasonal, now, you just never know.. I hope you and everyone affected recover quickly.. God's speed.. 🤗
Love and prayers! 🙏 😔 ❤ My Lord, such devastation! 😢
I hope all is well for you and your family
sowed
how much love,care , compassion to all those you feel for... give one * rose to God in appreciating in thought or prayer for receiving life as big gift from God and that have enjoyed worldly goods ...do you think those people picking rumble care to know how God feels in watching them all gathering and storing up treasures of earth ,well is what they,them planted and are now gathering what each have sowed
I watched TH-camr meteorologist Ryan Hall the whole time he was live last night. God bless him and his team for being so diligent and saving lives by getting the word out from tornado to tornado. Last night's system seems like a nightmare. So many touch downs in so many states and oh my gosh all the ones listed as killer tornados. This is truly heartbreaking. I'm from Alabama. I know it's not much but I prayed for everyone each time a tornado touched down. I cried as I saw the expressions of the meteorologists and hearing the seriousness and danger in their voices. My heart breaks for everyone who was in the path of last night's horror. 😢 I'm so sorry this happened. I'm so happy for the ones who survived and grieving for the ones who have lost family and friends and even livelihood. I'll be praying for you in the days to come. I have been through two tornados but nothing no where near as what happened last night. I can't even imagine what you're waking up to this morning. I hope better days will be ahead of you. I'm so very sorry.
@Pixie_damselLouisiana was getting bad weather around 1 or 2am this morning? I was praying for yall as well. I hope you were not in the middle of that. 💕
@Pixie_damsel have a good weekend as well. I don't understand the hateful comments myself. Take care.
he cough's to much for me ,needs to see a doc .
@@toddmccowen8206 he said it was his allergies from being in Mississippi. I hope he does go see a doctor. He sounds pretty sick.
I did too. Gut wrenching!
This is just unreal. All of today has been. Been glued to the screen all day even though I’m way down in Florida. Hell, it’s just after midnight EST the next day and the destruction is still going on, especially in Tennessee.
My heart goes out to all of the victims.
Yeah, some unusually large rippers in IA earlier.
I woke up this morning and it was 63 and humid in Chicago. (40 something last night) Could just feel the energy.
We've has a mild/non - winter in the upper midwest this year. I'm expecting a lot more severe storms this year than we've had in the past 3-4+ yrs. If the jet-stream starts to move back to "normal" (aka since I was born in the '60s) we'll got whooped. The last 5ish years have been rather odd - mild summers, mild winters... hmmm ok.
Anyway kids, and/or people new to the MW, get your preps ready (case in point - the wealtyest side of Chicago didn't have elec.. power for 7-8 days a few years ago.). While we may not be in a hurricane/earthquake zone, better to be prepped a year early than a hour late.
I'm in Florida too. Was a beautiful day and I was glued to watching these storms
@@stringlarson1247 I could never live like this.... Constantly rebuilding, expecting to have your whole little slice of comfort torn out from above you, then start over again... I mean, I'm sure to the people living here, it's the cost of living there, but I just don't see why!? I hate Nor Easters up here in Massachusetts, specifically bc of the high winds.. I can't even imagine one of these bad boys tearing through. No. Thanks.
How devastating for these people. Prayers for them.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
@@LordGadwin 👍 AMEN, that says it all RIGHT THERE.🙏
Another prayer troll looking for vadalation from others by using a natural disaster and other people's misery, now that's really Christian of you!!!!!
Many people post on yt rapture dreams and visions!
@@rosabianca379 I agree these religious nuts are all dilusional in my opinion
This was my former home. The 10 years I was stationed there was filled with wonderful people and memories. I pray for your swift recovery.
Heartbreaking to see. These people have lost so much . Praying for them all. I can't begin to imagine what they're going through.
I can't imagine living through that.God bless all them People.
I had a feeling this tornado season gonna be bad. My heart goes out to Little Rock.
earths heating up + all the cold air mixing with it because we are still in sub colder months

There is no longer a tornado season , it's a year round thing now
@@CraigGrant-sh3in I know it's a year around, but this time of year where most happens.
Prayers
This had to be terrifying! For folks living in these apartments and mobiles, nowhere to go! Heartbreaking!
Prayers from Australia to those who were affected in Arkansas.I live in a town that is affected by cyclones so I know what you have been through. There was a big cyclone came through Darwin in 1974 and she caused a lot of death and devastation. I wasn't here then but have been through a Category 2 a few years ago. Tracey was a Category 5.
I’m another Aussie who lived in Darwin who was watching all day as my wife’s family live in Ohio. Also Tracy was a cat 4.
@@flipspearing I hope that your wife's family are ok.I was devastating watching the aftermath on youtube afterwards. Prayers to you ahnd yours.
Best wishes and prayers from the area formerly known as Fort Myers Beach. (thanks Hurricane Ian). It isn't easy, but life does go on. It won't ever be the same again, but it does go on.
we here in missouri had a rough go of it as well but nothing as bad as this.we pray for these poor people
My thoughts and prayers surround all affected by the Tornados in Little Rock, Arkansas and surrounding areas
what an absolute nightmare! May God be with them all
Your god caused this, didn't he?
man...im a trucker and rolled through little rock today just before this hit, scary
Thank the Lord he spared you friend! He numbers our days!
Wow, that is just awful. Prayers for everyone.
I’m there… was on the ground for an hour. Still can’t get ahold of some folks we’ve been checking on.
I hope you connect with them soon & they're all ok.
I know it's easy to say that "stuff" can be replaced, but this destruction is complete, and family heirlooms and one-of-a-kind items most certainly cannot be replaced. Almost everything these folks had at their residences were violently scattered to the wind. They are going to need serious support to come back from this. Godspeed to all of the people around the US that were affected by any of the multiple tornadoes that rampaged through multiple states today.
Looks like an EF4, never seen a cell tower snapped in half like that. Holy....
Well if I had to guess it’s an EF3 at least
An EF4 would partially Level well Constructed homes and in this case many poorly constructed wooden homes were not even swept away. Based on the damage I have seen from this think I would rate it Low-End EF3
@@thetallweatherman2246 I wouldn't say low end. This damage is still pretty severe, and exceeds the capabilities of an ef2 quite a bit. I'd guess midrange EF3.
I was saying EF4 on low end but I haven’t seen anything confirming the size.
I was at work when this happened. I was on the phone and my boss rushed in my office and told everyone to go to the storm room. I was terrified and all I could think about is my 2 babies. Luckily, it didn’t affect my area but I’m truly praying for all that was affected.
I logged off at 1:40 & told my coworkers…i gotta go in the bathroom right now!!!! My babies were at school too 😩 I can’t believe we didn’t get hit
Same thing for me... I was in the area, but on the edge. A neighbor called me immediately to say trees were down all over our multi-family housing complex, including on my roof, but my cats were fine. A normally 15 to 20 minute drive took five hours. Five hours of not knowing if I would be able to stay in my home. Luckily, I could. A co-worker wasn't so lucky. Many people I know have major damage.
This is just heartbreaking 💔 and unbelievable! My heart truly goes out to all affected and who lost their homes/belongings😢🙏🏽
Stay strong and help is on the way.
Oh, I hope that everyone got out of there okay, and I pray for the family and friends of the people who were hurt in this tornado today. Love from Marysville, California
Typical dumbass Californian
How do people recover from something like this? Saying a prayer for strength to the people who are victims of these terrible storms.
good question
It takes time. The following days (weather permitting) will begin the cleanup process, lots of people come from all over the place to help whenever towns or communities get destroyed like this. There is of course the matters of insurance and whatnot that can complicate things. Generally speaking, though, people will be there to help from chainsawing those downed limbs and such until the last bit of paint goes onto the new or repaired house. I think it's truly beautiful the way people are so ready to help others without question or expectation of repayment, the thing that bums me out about it is that I wish we could all be in that frame of mind always and not just in times of great tragedy.
@@mud5377 but if you live in a place like this, you know the chance of it happening again is great... I wonder if they just get used to it or figure they got hit once, what are the odds of getting hit twice? I'm not one to take risks, lol, so I think I'd take the insurance payment and rebuild if I had to, then sell... Or just take the money and go....to a state that isn't 🌪️ prone. I HATE high wind storms up here on the coast of Massachusetts, let alone a twister, no flippn way!
@@Em22-wtf Well I guess the likelihood of it happening is low ENOUGH that people can justify living here. I'd also say the events on Friday are definitely not what I would call common, although with changing weather patterns due to climate change it's possible they're more likely to follow this path. I live in a smaller town not far from Little Rock and the last tornado to hit the town was like 50 years ago. I've lived here since 1996 and anytime they've come close to this area they typically wind up out in the countryside just tearing through farmland and cow pastures and such. I love it here and I have an emergency plan for taking shelter when these storms happen, so I guess my love for the nature and whatnot outweighs my fear of the storm. Believe me though, I don't like em either! I had a combination of adrenaline and pure fear when it got close, I still have to function in order to make sure everyone is safe, but I physically felt the fear like a tingle/cold chill in my spine :| Couldn't tell you the last time I felt that sensation, but I haven't been that scared in a very long time!
@@Em22-wtf i wouldn't say the chances are *great* .The last F5 tornado in Arkansas happened back in 1929. I've also lived between Memphis and Little Rock my whole life. And while I have experienced my fair share of tornados, the *large majority of them never hit major cities or large population areas* .
And if I'm not mistaken, the last time a tornado hit Little Rock in particular and causes actual damage was more than 20 years ago
We watched this same huge tornado pass just west of us about 6 blocks away as it moved through our town of Sherwood, NE of Little Rock. 😢 So very scary! Much damage around, but our house is fine. Poor people💔💔 Much 💕🙏💕 for all those affected.
So glad you are ok. All the videos look so horrific.
Did the Little Mill Park in North Little Rock get any damage. I live in Texas now but lived in Stuttgart in the 90’s and use to bring my son there for picnics.
I live a little ways from Cloverdale & lord have mercy
I know what it means to hear people say it sounds like a
freight train with the wind going through the trees & I'm
Covered with 100 ft trees in the woods, so yea it's scary.
After watching all this for the last 12 hrs straight, I can't help but ask... Why live in a place that is basically normal to be lucky (or not) to have just missed having your entire world ripped up and strewn about the neighborhood?? I just couldn't do it. I see these towns torn down to their studs and rebuild, only to have it happen again and again... Is it something you just get used to? And maybe see having your whole house ripped out from above you as a way to rebuild and make it better or different? Bc I'd imagine that's the kind of attitude you'd have to have living in a place that deals W these things as normal weather events 🫨
@@connieh9581 Thank you💕 We are about 3 miles north of the Old Mill(love that place!), and I don’t believe it was damaged, but not sure. Was so many emergency vehicles out everywhere, so we just stayed put rather than get in the way. Am sure we’ll get a better picture of all that was damaged tomorrow.
@@unitedwestanddividedwefall2073 How right you are. Sounded awful!
To those effected… The Lord bless you and keep and be gracious to you.
That is one dedicated accountant there. Entire life is in ruins... Crap, grab the files nothing else!!!!!
My heart aches to see this much and this wasn't even all of the damages in Little Rock. 😢
No place is safe anymore. It’s a scary world out there.
@Starkey Morgan They think something is happening because of "global warming" that hasn't happened in the past, but can't educate themselves enough to know that this is nothing new at all and that there have been FAR worse outbreak's in the past.
The buildings have paper thin walls. What kind of permits were issued for their flimsy construction. 400 year old buildings are still standing and the buildings built by "get rich quick" builders are falling apart. Such egregious crimes committed in broad daylight. Shame on the agencies permitting such poor construction to be inhabited by living entities.
Boy the natural disaster is not going to let up at all ! Praying for the people of the most high God that they will be protected from all danger & harm in the mighty name of Christ amen ❤
Amen
Thoughts and prayers for all✝️✝️✝️Stay STRONG
So sad. Prayers for all people and animals.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

US is probably the only country on this planet that constantly got hit with massive tornadoes like this.
I have never heard of another country with such problems.
all the storms have crossed the country,,,, from the California storms,,, i saw it today on the news.
End times stuff! Read Matthew 24 & 25!

The cell tower monopole tower being toppled over is pretty impressive as those are fairly well fortified
😢
My heart is breaking for all those hit by tornadoes in USA today. Love and prayers from western Canada❤. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ❤
Thankful this didn’t happen at night or on a weekend. More people would have been home. It skipped over my office building then touched down. Praying for all affected. Lots of lost/found pets hoping to get reunited.
This is one of the reasons I left little rock and the surrounding areas. Its like a tornado alley. My son still lives in Jacksonville. It got hit as well. I haven't been to Arkansas for over 20 years so I know it's changed. I think I know this area. It got hit hard like the Cabot tornado in the late 70s. I pray for these folks.
2nd tornado in 20 plus years. Far from tornado alley
Oh my...
May you all find refuge in a safe place filled with kindness in the days ahead...
🇿🇦
Wow homeless and lose everything in less than 10 minutes!!!! Godbless these people ❤
69 years of life and I've never seen anything so devastating.
Haarp in action.
You were around in 74 for a much much worse outbreak with 23 f4's and 7 f5's.
@@barbaradykier6295 There have been FAR worse outbreak's before that technology existed.
OMG, this is unbelievable 😮😢. Praying 🙏

Man it's so sad seeing all of that destruction down in Little Rock Arkansas my thoughts and prayers are with everyone down there 🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌 I'm worried about something like this happening to Newark Ohio and to my house in the future
All my, this is devastating, hoping all these people got to safety, seems these tornadoes hit alot of states last night ... Prayers for everyone...
So sad! Prayers for all the people in the paths of all this destruction
Wynne county Arkansas also got devastated
Sending you much love at this difficult time, our thoughts are with you all. x
Being from joplin…we understand..however your getting ready to see humanity at its best…people will be there TOMORROW from all over the country to help…good luck and god bless
Strangest sight of all was that cell tower bent completely in half.
As the say devastating. Hard to imagine in Texarkana just light rain. Well a long road for everybody involved.
I was praying for everyone yesterday, I was watching Ryan all day yesterday praying everyone makes it through it. My heart dropped when I heard about the concert and the roof collapsed. My mother lives in Alabama, she lives so close but so far away from everything. I keeping everyone in my prayers.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by these tornadoes. It’s heartbreaking looking at all the devastation! 😢 🙏🏼
That’s a powerful storm
This is just crazy tornadoes all the way up-and-down these States.
O my. Praying for you all. Love from South Africa
I hope someone checked the car all tangled in wires at the corner. Prayers for all.
Make sure power is off a friend of mine got killed that way
Damn nature I am in Memphis and we got a severe thunderstorm. An EF2 maybe
My heart goes out to all of our Little Rock people who have gotten hit by this powerful tornado 😢
Brett. Thank you for sharing the drone footage to help us understand the magnitude of the damage. The aerial view is powerful visually and heartbreaking. I followed Ryan Hall's YT channel as I was driving to work yesterday in northern KY & Sw Ohio.i know that you all are doing lifesaving work by reaching so many people
Blessings to you all.
Lord please cover all people in Little Rock Arkansas and other areas of Arkansas. 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
As a survivor of the Joplin, Mo tornado in 2011, I look at these pictures and I remember exactly how this feels. It's a terrible moment in time, one minute you're fine, the next minute, every possession you owned either gone or ruined. Pictures of your life and those you love, gone forever. It's rough, really rough and I pray for all these poor people.
Prayers for Little Rock Arkansas...We definitely was on high alert it miss Jonesboro Arkansas this time praise God! kids got out early, it was lots of wind rain and Thunder..
God Bless the tornado victims in "The South" this season. It is horrific!! At least we get a five day notice here in Florida when there is a hurricane danger.....
Thoughts and prayers for everyone impacted by these devastating storms 🙏
I was watching live with Ryan Hall here on TH-cam when this happened. He said little Rock took a direct hit from a large tornado but seeing the destruction is shocking
I hope no serious injuries or fatalities. These poor people, heartbreaking!
There were some. It's sad no matter the circumstance, however, there's way less casualties than you'd imagine looking at the destruction and the tornado itself. I believe the weather teams at the local news stations saved many lives with how they handled this storm, they told people before the storm even ramped up to be prepared to take cover. Almost immediately when the storm picked up steam it was apparent the likelihood for a tornado was high and they were quick to tell people to take shelter NOW. So both their diligence as well as people taking them seriously likely prevented many from losing their lives or being seriously injured. There's always going to be injuries and potentially deaths with these storms, but it could have definitely been much worse.
@@mud5377 Thank God for these weather stations and news stations! Without their vigilance, the loss of life could have been catastrophic judging from all the damage. I feel so badly for all these people.
THV11 reported upwards of 600 people injured but did not give any specifics on fatalities. It could have been much worse as the storm went straight through the residential part of Little Rock.
so devastating to see. these people will need a lot of help. thoughts and prayers only go so far.
Unbelievable
I don’t remember tornados hitting so many residential communities until the past couple years
Well, it's been called Tornado Alley for decades. Keep in mind, everyone has a digital camera now and the internet. Add to that stormchasers and 'instant news' media. Other nations are pounded more by hurricanes, we have those plus tornadoes. Today was bad because several large areas had intense weather patterns. The bands weren't developed enough in Hot Springs, but by the time they sailed past us on the way to Little Rock, you see the results.
Oh this just makes my heart cry 😭. Prayers to all affected. 🙏🏻 🫶🏻❤️
Devastating! I am praying for everyone affected by these storms.
Prayers from Canada.

God bless these people! The devastion is heart wrenching!
One minute you have a home, and the next you have nothing, all gone in seconds.
God knows how I would handle that.
My heart goes out to all the people. These disasters are getting to be too much and too often. One never knows where and when the next one will be. Try to stay strong.
Omg..the cell tower bent in half!
I like the drones showing the destruction.
Stay strong neighbors! OKC sending our assistance your direction!
Prayers,wow early spring tornadoes.. 😢
Wow, reminds me of watching the east wing of my house blowing off before my eyes. Scary. I hope none died.
God bless the United States of America...we are all with you!
Is God really blessing us? Or is He giving us over?!
God bless the DSA not USA
As a Florida resident-rather endure a Hurricane than this -no time to prepare and the devastation- Good God!-
Oh my goodness, really feel for all of you
Horrific.. all those folks who lost everything. My prayers are with them and their families. 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤
Excellent drone footage! Praying for all

From Oklahoma been thru a few tornadoes they can tear up a lot hope and pray there was no deaths can rebuild homes.
It's TIME to build with concrete and rebar. Thick concrete walls,,, you can put stucco on the outside,, make it smooth. You can paint it any color scheme,,, with oil based paint,, they can be Very cute little houses. IT needs to be THICK walls and REbar all the way up. It's the only kind of house that could hold up. That is my suggestion to everyone in this tornado area.
Nobody could afford to build a house like that
Devastating to the max😳.
I lived in Little Rock for 25 years before I moved away and I have NEVER experienced anything like this living there. My entire family and their properties were unscathed which is a damn miracle. I hate to see this kind of damage to my beautiful hometown. My heart goes out to my hometown and to all those who lost everything in this devastating storm.
Prayers for all those people !!!😢
