As someone that lived through the April 27, 2011 F4 tornado that ripped through Alabama, this footage is like a flashback. The neighborhood I grew up in was forever changed. It has been almost 12 years since, and there are still remnants of that day. My heart goes out to everyone that lost their life and to those who were affected by those devastating storms. The survivors will need all the love and support they can get. The scars will remain for many, many years, if not forever.
I am from Decatur. I remember being out of power for about 8 weeks when it hit browns ferry. A guy I know got sucked out of his house in Trinity and survived. It was a terrible terrible deal back then. And it seems to only be getting worse
I drove through that town after it hit and was in literal shock. I had never been there before but was forced to back track due to the debris in the road. After backtracking I can remember seeing the path the tornado took, so many downed trees in the woods for miles and miles.
This same tornado was heading straight for Indianapolis when it recycled and went east towards Martinsville. Thank God for Ryan Hall Y'all and Meteorologist Andy Hill for Live streaming for 12 and 14 hours covering this outbreak. Many were watching, and we were able to call loved ones well in advance about the incoming danger. They survived because of the Y'all Squad, Noaa Radio, and others watching the radar so closely.
yeah did some damage here in martinsville. neighbors tree fell through their fence and it took our water dpt roof off and put it on a house across the street, which is about 2 blocks away from me + knocked down a church steeple. nothing like what sullivan got fortunately, but a grisly scene nonetheless.
I live an hour north of here and my aunt lives only 10-15 min north of here. This tornado missed her and then eventually passed a little to the south of my grandparents. I’m a meteorology student and was chasing in southern Illinois last night and watching these storms take aim so close to my family as I traveled back was unimaginable.
It’s so scary when it comes close to your loved ones! My parents live about 60 miles from here. They are a bit lackadaisical about taking shelter, so I keep urging them to pay attention to the tornado warnings and go to the basement. With more storms on the way, I sure hope they listen!
I live in Terre Haute and was watching the radar last night, the folks at WTHI were pleading for anyone in Sullivan that could hear them to take shelter. Very sad.
I am from a little further south and east of Sullivan. I had fallen asleep having sat through like 10 hours of Ryan Hall and Andy's coverage of the storms. I heard Andy on the verge of cracking up over so much carnage in so short a time. He said Sullivan which is where I'd been considering a retirement mobile home. The Sullivan tornado kept right on chugging and just missed my brother's house by a couple miles further up near Elletsville and Whitehall. If it had not turned north rolling on up Martinsville way, I might have lost my brother. While it was doing this damage, I had my brother get on the phone and had him watch Ryan Hall and Andy Hill-these two TH-camrs saved countless lives in our part of the world last night. Hopefully I can thank them in person someday.
It was a truly sickening feeling watching this unfold on radar. I was at work. I live in Ohio. I work at a diesel shop and my boss is on emergency response team for disaster relief. He left yesterday for Chicago around 4 am. I sat at work listening to Ryan hall yall from 1 pm to 10pm on my Bluetooth radio. I cried a lot last night. I was turning a wrench and just in the back of mind I knew people were dying. Homes ravished. My children were safe at home sleeping while many children were having real life nightmares. It's just heartbreaking.
Aye. There are folks who woke up yesterday not knowing they wouldn't have their own bed to sleep in later that night. I love how much Ryan Hall and his Y'all Squad have been doing for folks. I wish I didn't live so far away so I could help his team out in person.
@@hollynguyen7652 he meant to say was watching Ryan hall y'all who is a TH-cam meteorologist. Then his walls started shaking. Ryan Hall y'all saved a lot of lives.
I live 25 minutes east of sullivan. The same tornado that hit sullivan was coming straight for us except we were lucky enough that it disipated alot before it hit us. Total devastation to sullivan and my heart breaks for them #prayforsullivan
My daughter in Covington TN was is her closet with her young son texting me she was so scared. I told her get in the bathtub with a mattress over them. The tornado hit their town pretty bad, but thank God she is ok. I was watching live weather feed and my heart broke for everyone in the path of all the tornadoes. I live not far from Sullivan. ❤ so glad your family is ok, too!
I live 25 minutes east of Sullivan. This is so sad, I feel for the families and people who lost everything. My parents live in Sullivan and I’m so grateful they are okay. This was my hometown so this hits hard. I’m going to help as much as I can and I hope others do the same.

This particular tornado took place about two hours west of where we reside in Indiana, USA. By the time it reached our area, it was reduced to wind and rain. Praise God for that. Do they have tornadoes in the UK?

I was up last night living here in Indy seeing local news warning people of this storm. I didn't expect this much destruction. This is horrible, prayers go out to everyone there and up in Howard County.
This drone coverage of the devastation, which has appeared in many post-tornado areas, makes this look like a scene from a film. I wish it were a scene from a film and not reality. It makes me so sad. I grew up around tornadoes in the midwest. I've seen the damage up close and personal, and that changed me forever.
I was watching Ryan hall last night as the tornado went through the town, he said he really hoped it didn't hit it but it was too unclear to tell, then saw a massive debris field and realized how bad it was from there
I was watching Ryan last night also. I live in one of the areas he was keeping an eye on STL south thankfully tornados on those cells didn't manifest. I would like to mention a place called Wynne which I think was the next town hit after Little Rock. I heard the police chief said there was no more Wynne. Before I turned in I heard on the news they had cordoned off Wynne and weren't allowing anyone in.
@@greeniejeannie after seeing the aftermath in sullivan plus other places that the monster hit along with a small airport it catastrophic damage basically rolling fork 2.0.
Been there, done this. Lived in Xenia in 74. The power of these storms is something to see. Takes years communities to recover and some things never do.
@BOS37631 my street was fine, we were lucky ones. The city was a disaster area.......national guard dispatched and all that. I was only in fourth grade, so I didnt know to be afraid. I find them captivating. Yes it was an F5. They say it produced winds exceeding 300mph.
I was in the National Guard unit from the Dayton area that went into Xenia that weekend. I was the unit commanders driver and got to see a lot of devastation up close. My Guard unit was an Engineer unit which had a lot of heavy equipment for road building and excavation which was exactly what Xenia needed. My heart goes out to those people of Sullivan.
@@denisberger9657 Thank you for your service. The guardsman were all over town. They set up checkpoints to keep out the curious and the looters. I remember they dropped off little easter baskets for the kids still in livable homes. Pretty major event in my life.
We're woefully unprepared for the intensity and destruction of the weather systems and dramatic climate changes occurring year after year. The level of denial about this more than obvious fact as we move forward is unbelievable and tragic.
If you mean it's only the start in Biblical terms, you're correct. Jesus warned there would be an increase in the birth pains. That includes even more frequent storms worse than previous ones until it builds up to the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God is trying to warn us out of our complacency and to repent of our sinful ways before the impending seven year tribulation.
@@FX3userhen speaking on stuff like that you need to specify EXACTLY what you are talking about. If there is a "God" why EXACTLY is "God" punishing the people? What "sins" exactly are being committed? Look no further than your politicians, celebrities, bankers, etc. Who tricks it's citizens into being divided. And placate them with useless frivolity that does nothing to help them grow spiritually. And who at every undermine your birthright in able to move you further away from "God" as well as your own divinity. Blame the regular everyday people who refuse to do something about the evil that rules this planeT. Who always and forever stay waiting on somebody to save them. The people who fail to realize that "God" already created us with everything we need in order to defeat any enemy. The number of children and teens to go missing has skyrocketed over the past couple years while people were distracted with the pLandemic. Evil runs everywhere on this land. In EVERY religion. In EVERY color. Hiding in plain sight. Talking straight to your face, behind your back. Cults run the world.
Absolutely terrible destruction. I am so sorry. I was praying last night and woke up thankful. I see this so close to where I am and feel guilty to be okay. This is terrible, just terrible.
This footage is unbelievable. Prayers go out to all affected by the storms last night. To all who lost loved ones, and to those who are helping in search and rescue. God Bless you.
I live here in sullivan. I actually live 1 block to the north from where this tornado ripped through with my familys house still intact. Its hard to describe the feeling of going through it. I personally know the people who passed and some of the people in critical are close family friends. This breaks my heart seeing it. But it's even more insane to walk through it. Doesn't seem possible.
SIV 1 hour ago God, how terrible this City is completely erased. I sympathize and empathize. Condolences to those who have lost loved ones. Take care of yourself. What a kind person you are. Blessings. PS: forget out politicians. Real Americans and Real Russians are FRIENDS.
@@kaycox19 found the traitor - why don’t you just move to Russia if you love it so much you stupid fucking tankie . And our politicians have been bi partisan when it comes to the Ukraine conflict . Only stupid far right and left extremist like yourself think otherwise … shows you have been an easy target for Russian propaganda . You are nothing more but a useful idiot to the Russian propaganda machine …
Prayers to All in this area. Thank you for this coverage. My daughter just lives north of here. They drove north to get away. Thanks to @Ryan Hall Y'all. He and the storm chasers saved lives. 😢🙏
I live in central Indiana but visit Sullivan county often. This has me in tears. Praying for everyone in this community. I am so sorry this happened to you.
It’s hard to really comprehend this kind of damage. I can’t even imagine the devastation and heartbreak that these people are going thru. Praying over the families 🙏
praying for our fellow Hoosiers there and all over the state who got hit last night. May God comfort them and provide shelter, mercy, and the grace in others to help them rebuild,
i knew who lived in the house with the semi. i’m glad they were okay and another family i knew close by too. i only live a few blocks away. prayers for everyone involved. #pray4sullivan
It was wicked here in Indiana last night - so glad the stormchasers showed that Iowa tornado - I probably wouldn't have gotten up to go to the basement. Prayers for the lives lost in Indiana last night. Sometimes we need images like this to remind us that could be us.
This is so sad. I feel horrible for everyone affected by this Catastrophe. I live in Bedford, Indiana which is a little over an hour from Sullivan, so to me this was too close to Home. May GOD be with Sullivan, Indiana.🙏❤️😞
I live just like 20 minutes from there and the destruction is terrible. That what happened that night is terrible. Prayers to anyone who lived there and I am so sorry.
We look at this and see tornado damage. Hours ago, these were homes, neighborhoods, communities...all reduced to sticks within mere seconds. There are people and lives behind every one of these pieces of rubble. It’s heartbreaking because no one is immune. Prayers and love to all affected.
uh, this is kind of normal for Indiana. we get tornadoes, we get floods, we get snow and blizzards sometimes, we get ice storms, summer can be miserably humid, winter can be as low as -30 or lower and we even get earthquakes sometimes.
@@Dratchev241 I was standing outside last night with shorts and sandals watching the lighting. Neighbors probably said “what is this dickhead doing” lol
Thank you for the sensitivity of this footage. Storm chasers sometimes forget these are real people and their home towns. This was respectful and informative. Thank you.
It blows by mind how one house will only have roof damage yet the one right next to it is leveled. Prayers to everyone affected - it’s catastrophic what’s happening in so many states. 🥺
In a deadly outbreak of tornadoes in Georgia several years back in the city of Ringgold, there were houses destroyed, while a house right next door was completely unscathed, even the hanging plant baskets on the front porch were untouched.
That type of damage is usually caused by a multi vortex tornado. Tornadoes do some odd things. I once saw a house with EF3 damage, in Oklahoma, that had the fireplace still intact. On each end of the mantle, there were two candle holders still standing upright
My so called problems seem insignificant after watching this. Mother nature at its cruelest. what a tragedy. Wishing you a speedy recovery, from Sydney, Australia.
I live probably 1hr or less from here, and was in the path of the storm as it moved across the state. I saw the path the storm was taking and skipped town up to Camby, just outside of Indy. 85MPH as I basically made a run for it, as I lived through the F3 that happened in 2002.
😢 Heartbreaking scenes, all the details of lives that make up a home violently strewn across the landscape. Teddy bears, school bags, keepsakes, Christmas presents, photographs, documents, paintings, all gone. I live in Australia where we don't get these, but these monsters scare the life out of me and hold such fascination, the sheer merciless power of them. I watch tornado season online every year. I remember visiting the American Midwest years ago and during tornado season, too, and I was very worried, made sure I knew where to go and watched the skies every day. I guess you live out your life always hoping the big one doesn't come, but this time it did :( So sorry to those who have lost loved ones, and to those who have lost all their possessions. I know you must feel lost and in shock, but just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
We live in Oklahoma. It was despairng to watch the radar last night and know the terror that was obviously happening in the paths of all those severe storm fronts. God, please protect people and help us help them 🥺💔
@@zoliver9304 basements won’t help if the storm is an EF4 or EF5. this storm in particular was an EF3 so basements probably did save a lot of people but even then not everyone has a basement
This was 1.5 miles south of my house. Doesn’t even feel real honestly. Like I see this footage and it’s not even recognizable as my hometown. I thank God more people weren’t killed or hurt and obviously continuing to pray for everyone going through this. Those in the community, the emergency responders, and all the outside help that have come to the aid of those affected have been phenomenal, they will never get enough credit.
We live less than a mile north from the direct hit. Had a few branches in the yard and nothing else. I can’t help but feel guilty. Heartbreaking for my town. 😢
I'm grateful to know you were spared. I trust you'll be one of many who'll roll up their shirt sleeves and with a full heart and come alongside those who need muscle and compassion. Bless you in that endeavor.
This was the first major outbreak I’ve ever followed live time and to think that the 2011 super outbreak was so much worse just blows my mind. My heart breaks for these folks
Stuff can be replaced, but more importantly, any lives taken...any injuries...how about the animals who are so often forgotten during these devastations.
@@youtubecommentcreatorr Many people do not realize what wonderful companions ghat chickens are. I was blessed having them when I lived in the country. I am so sorry about your losses.
@@mionaruse2748 I was thinking this as well, but the damage assessment will depend on how well-built the structure there was. Looks like high-end EF4 at the very least
I can totally relate. I used to live in Penfield IL and the town next to us Gifford was hit worse than us. We knew many of the people affected & when we offered to help the whole town's attitude was cold, rude & talked down to us. So we were like "ok fvk you & good luck" The media paints this picture how the communities all come together for that "awwww" moment. It's all bu!!$h!t in reality
Lo que viene es aún peor. No quieran estar aquí. CREAN EN EL EVANGELIO Y SERÁN SALVOS.

We live about 25 min. North of this. We have friends who were ok in Sullivan and family in near Robinson and Palestine where it also hit that were also fortunate to be ok.
I’m from Terre Haute, which is like 25-30 mins north. I have so many friends, family, and coworkers, that have lost everything and even have loved ones being lifelined to the hospital. I’m devastated for these people and their community 🥺 I’m hoping to try and help whenever I’m able to and if I even can. Praying for Sullivan and for those impacted by the tornado and storms that are still rampaging across the country ❤️
Oh my God. Pray for them and all the people affected by yesterday's storms. I wish I could go over there and help them somehow. This is heartbreaking 💔 😢 And again, your video and footage captures this tragedy very well.
@@rocketsfan6116 why the sarcasm? You don't know my situation. I swear, a person can't even comment any more and someone is jumping all over them. Are you in Sullivan today?
@@chebar. Sarcasm? I was completely serious, I truly don't understand how people don't see the logical inconsistency of a god that supposedly created the very tornado you're asking for prayers for. It's completely absurd. This is a natural disaster that needs natural solutions. Let's send money and supplies, not meaningless useless prayers.
@@rocketsfan6116 just as sad as what happened to all these tornado victims is the fact that you are not ready to meet your Maker. You have a serious shock coming your way. He is the Judge of this world, whether we like it or not. People need to humble themselves to that reality.
Why would they treat the storm chasers that came to help badly????? My lord they are only trying to save lives . Maybe these people who lost everything needed to be mad at someone ......😢😢😢😢😢
Maria is all depends on the kind of person 1. Some are very grateful and appreciate all the help 2. Some are shook up and at the moment are still in shock 3. some are very private people and do not want to be videotaped and having Storm chasers come they might think they're going to be getting recorded for reactions 4. A lot of times many hours later or half a day later all the help is appreciated that comes.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Thank you . Living in the northwest my 61 years I need a lesson or two about the midwest. God knows I have never experienced that kind of devastation.
Glad you made it through okay The mainline CSX that comes down through there where the tracks were all tore up? Or was that the Indiana railroad tracks? US 41 little bit to the west of there isn't it you can't quite see where the little area is from the highway can you it's kind of nestled in behind the trees? I always get that town in Carlisle sort of confused where the prison is
@@Darkbirdy okay I thought so. People were commenting not knowing anything about it Sullivan is completely gone!! it's like I don't think so this is kind of a remote area but more of a rural outskirts almost headed towards Carlisle. I know the main drag is right up 41 where the little Walmart is and all that other stuff sits right off of 41 there at that light.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist The main part of town is a few blocks east of 41. The Walmart is just where one road meets the highway. Sullivan is not gone, but the southern tip is. A block further north and it would have hit several times as many homes (including a trailer park.) Two or three blocks north and it would have gone through the middle of town. But before I say that we were lucky, one or two blocks south and it would have hit almost nothing. What doesn't show on the video is that Sullivan was just one point along a path nearly nine miles long. And the tornado was just 10mph from being in the top 1%, strength wise.
@@Darkbirdyya originated across the river over in Illinois and small touchdown in Robinson jumped over state line and kept on going got stronger as it got toward sullivan Pulmonary reports are saying strong f3 for Sullivan. Giving 150 5 mi an hour per hour winds in an f3 and that little area where it was a direct hit there's no doubt about it that still beyond significant.
If you buy into anti-science conspiracy theory you might think it's solar something or other. If you be of the fundamentalist Christian ilk then you might think God had something to do with it. And if you move with the antiglobal warming crowd then you say it's just nature's natural changes going on. But if you believe in what the science says then you will recognise that these storms are getting worse and more frequent and realize that more CO2 in atmosphere results in more energy in the atmosphere due to retained heat and record breaking tornado outbreaks like this are a result of the warming climate!!
This is why I am such a stickler with the details in the shelters we build (not saying the name) It is worth the effort when I see destruction like this. I hope my crew takes pride in making something that may save a families life some day even though the process is monotonous at times. Thanks for the video, and say safe!
I remember Sullivan from attending a 4_H interstate exchange in 1965. The nicest people in a wonderful tight knit community. The county seat of Sullivan was just a beautiful town. Or 4-H group came from NJ I hope that all will find peace and rebuild better than ever.
That last 25 seconds of footage is very telling about how powerful this tornado was. No wreckage, just a concrete flat where a house was. I really hope that family got out of there!!
I was following repeater traffic from Skywarn as I was trying to capture this storm. The repeater in Sullivan county went down due to the massive power outage so I could only hear so much. It was so dangerous that I couldn't proceed. Trees down, traffic lights out, flooding everywhere. Other spotters stated that the traditional P25 radio went down due to the outage and they were using the 800 frequencies for first responders. I want to let everyone know that I am willing to volunteer my time to help where needed. This storm cell was actually supposed to travel towards my area but it shifted. Prayers to all involved.
I lived in Alabama during the super outbreak and I am in Indiana during this one. I was working at wabash valley correctional facility which was only a few miles south of where the tornado hit. Luckily had all the inmates locked up before power cut off
I live about 60 minutes south of here. I have friends who lost everything. Prayers to everyone in that area
Are they alive? That's what's important! A life CAN'T be replaced! I'm praying for them ALL, And the animals!😳 God be with them Amen.
I'm only 15 minutes north on the illinois side, we've got minimal damage here, but at least 3 fatalities in the Robinson/Palestine area.

I was watching Ryan last night also. I live in one of the areas he was keeping an eye on STL south thankfully tornados on those cells didn't manifest. I would like to mention a place called Wynne which I think was the next town hit after Little Rock. I heard the police chief said there was no more Wynne. Before I turned in I heard on the news they had cordoned off Wynne and weren't allowing anyone in.
@@greeniejeannie after seeing the aftermath in sullivan plus other places that the monster hit along with a small airport it catastrophic damage basically rolling fork 2.0.
Oh my...so devastated. Sending so much love and prayers to everyone affected. Praying the missing are found alive. God please wrap them in your arms.
There is NO god.
"thoughts and prayers" - said the person who didn't actually care.
@@travisgrant5608 I'm so sorry you feel so alone and need to lash-out to be seen and heard.
Been there, done this. Lived in Xenia in 74. The power of these storms is something to see. Takes years communities to recover and some things never do.
@BOS37631 my street was fine, we were lucky ones. The city was a disaster area.......national guard dispatched and all that. I was only in fourth grade, so I didnt know to be afraid. I find them captivating. Yes it was an F5. They say it produced winds exceeding 300mph.
I was in the National Guard unit from the Dayton area that went into Xenia that weekend. I was the unit commanders driver and got to see a lot of devastation up close. My Guard unit was an Engineer unit which had a lot of heavy equipment for road building and excavation which was exactly what Xenia needed. My heart goes out to those people of Sullivan.
@@denisberger9657 Thank you for your service. The guardsman were all over town. They set up checkpoints to keep out the curious and the looters. I remember they dropped off little easter baskets for the kids still in livable homes. Pretty major event in my life.
Man this is heartbreaking I knew the tornado outbreak was gonna be bad but not this bad and the sad thing is this is only the beginning
I'm afraid you're right it's just getting started
We're woefully unprepared for the intensity and destruction of the weather systems and dramatic climate changes occurring year after year. The level of denial about this more than obvious fact as we move forward is unbelievable and tragic.
If you mean it's only the start in Biblical terms, you're correct. Jesus warned there would be an increase in the birth pains. That includes even more frequent storms worse than previous ones until it builds up to the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God is trying to warn us out of our complacency and to repent of our sinful ways before the impending seven year tribulation.
@desertmoon keep destroying nature, see what happens.
@@FX3userhen speaking on stuff like that you need to specify EXACTLY what you are talking about. If there is a "God" why EXACTLY is "God" punishing the people? What "sins" exactly are being committed?
Look no further than your politicians, celebrities, bankers, etc. Who tricks it's citizens into being divided. And placate them with useless frivolity that does nothing to help them grow spiritually. And who at every undermine your birthright in able to move you further away from "God" as well as your own divinity.
Blame the regular everyday people who refuse to do something about the evil that rules this planeT. Who always and forever stay waiting on somebody to save them. The people who fail to realize that "God" already created us with everything we need in order to defeat any enemy.
The number of children and teens to go missing has skyrocketed over the past couple years while people were distracted with the pLandemic.
Evil runs everywhere on this land. In EVERY religion. In EVERY color. Hiding in plain sight. Talking straight to your face, behind your back.
Cults run the world.
Heartfelt sympathy and prayers from South Africa
Thank you friend for your love and for reaching out.. Very much appreciated.
I live in sullivan and this just hurts me bc my house is right next to all of this and just missed the tornado😭
Same here I live a block north of the park and went unscathed somehow. It's just heartbreaking
That's amazing that your homes were unscathed
Glad you’re okay!
@@austinpearison9907 I’m glad you’re okay!
Absolutely terrible destruction. I am so sorry. I was praying last night and woke up thankful. I see this so close to where I am and feel guilty to be okay. This is terrible, just terrible.
Heartbreaking. My prayers to everyone there both rescuers and victims.
This footage is unbelievable. Prayers go out to all affected by the storms last night. To all who lost loved ones, and to those who are helping in search and rescue. God Bless you.
I live here in sullivan. I actually live 1 block to the north from where this tornado ripped through with my familys house still intact. Its hard to describe the feeling of going through it. I personally know the people who passed and some of the people in critical are close family friends. This breaks my heart seeing it. But it's even more insane to walk through it. Doesn't seem possible.
Could you actually see the tornado, despite it being dark outside?
Did you hear the tornado?
Prayers to Sullivan! I live in South Bend and although the storm was strong here, we had nothing like this! So sad to see this!
Господи , как это ужасно Город полностью стёрт. Сочувствую и сопереживаю . Соболезнование потерявшим родных и близких.

Spaseeba! These storms are like a war going on every year here between people and nature. May your weather and world be well! UDACHI my friend.
Well part of it is erased thankfully the entire town wasn't destroyed
SIV,
Do the tornadoes destroy the cities in your country, too? I wonder.
Prayers to All in this area. Thank you for this coverage. My daughter just lives north of here. They drove north to get away. Thanks to @Ryan Hall Y'all. He and the storm chasers saved lives. 😢🙏
I live in central Indiana but visit Sullivan county often. This has me in tears. Praying for everyone in this community. I am so sorry this happened to you.
It’s hard to really comprehend this kind of damage. I can’t even imagine the devastation and heartbreak that these people are going thru. Praying over the families 🙏
I live near Avon and my deepest condolences to the families that lost loved ones....may they rest in Peace...
praying for our fellow Hoosiers there and all over the state who got hit last night. May God comfort them and provide shelter, mercy, and the grace in others to help them rebuild,
Yes.
I live in northern Indiana heart goes out to my fellow Hoosiers.🙏
i knew who lived in the house with the semi. i’m glad they were okay and another family i knew close by too. i only live a few blocks away. prayers for everyone involved. #pray4sullivan
It was wicked here in Indiana last night - so glad the stormchasers showed that Iowa tornado - I probably wouldn't have gotten up to go to the basement. Prayers for the lives lost in Indiana last night. Sometimes we need images like this to remind us that could be us.
Aside from this horrific devastation, this video is beautifully produced with use of the drone and perfect musical accompaniment.
Oh this is devastating. I live in Arkansas and parts got hit hard. Prayers for all those involved , so much heartache. I'm so sorry
This is so sad. I feel horrible for everyone affected by this Catastrophe. I live in Bedford, Indiana which is a little over an hour from Sullivan, so to me this was too close to Home. May GOD be with Sullivan, Indiana.🙏❤️😞
Praying for all who are effected by this weather related tragedy. 💚🙏
So sorry for your loss of luxury and I hope everyone made it out alive 🙏 May the country be behind you for a speedy recovery 🙏
My coworkers house was 3 streets north of the main damage. She is okay but said it definitely sounded like a freight train coming through.
I was in the tornado, it came right over us when I was in the basement, I’m lucky to be alive
I live just like 20 minutes from there and the destruction is terrible. That what happened that night is terrible. Prayers to anyone who lived there and I am so sorry.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Tremendous footage. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all.
We look at this and see tornado damage. Hours ago, these were homes, neighborhoods, communities...all reduced to sticks within mere seconds. There are people and lives behind every one of these pieces of rubble. It’s heartbreaking because no one is immune. Prayers and love to all affected.
Just moved to Indianapolis a few weeks ago and I’ve never experienced weather like this coming from ca. hope everyone is safe out there
uh, this is kind of normal for Indiana. we get tornadoes, we get floods, we get snow and blizzards sometimes, we get ice storms, summer can be miserably humid, winter can be as low as -30 or lower and we even get earthquakes sometimes.
@@Dratchev241 like I said I just moved here and know very little about this state but I’m learning real quick
@@gubernational57 just wait till you get to see a tornado and then 2 hours later its snowing..
@@Dratchev241 I was standing outside last night with shorts and sandals watching the lighting. Neighbors probably said “what is this dickhead doing” lol
Thank you for the sensitivity of this footage. Storm chasers sometimes forget these are real people and their home towns. This was respectful and informative. Thank you.
It blows by mind how one house will only have roof damage yet the one right next to it is leveled. Prayers to everyone affected - it’s catastrophic what’s happening in so many states. 🥺
In a deadly outbreak of tornadoes in Georgia several years back in the city of Ringgold, there were houses destroyed, while a house right next door was completely unscathed, even the hanging plant baskets on the front porch were untouched.
@@FX3user Oh wow - hanging plants in tact?! I don’t even understand how that can happen with something so destructive right next to them!
God no longer floods the earth to dispose of the people he doesn't like. He uses tornadoes so he can pick and choose his targets for destruction.
That type of damage is usually caused by a multi vortex tornado. Tornadoes do some odd things. I once saw a house with EF3 damage, in Oklahoma, that had the fireplace still intact. On each end of the mantle, there were two candle holders still standing upright
@@aseygirl9295 Yes, I couldn't believe it. The people were home, too. A lady strolls out on the porch, looks at me like I'm an invader.
My so called problems seem insignificant after watching this. Mother nature at its cruelest. what a tragedy. Wishing you a speedy recovery, from Sydney, Australia.
I live probably 1hr or less from here, and was in the path of the storm as it moved across the state. I saw the path the storm was taking and skipped town up to Camby, just outside of Indy. 85MPH as I basically made a run for it, as I lived through the F3 that happened in 2002.
😢 Heartbreaking scenes, all the details of lives that make up a home violently strewn across the landscape. Teddy bears, school bags, keepsakes, Christmas presents, photographs, documents, paintings, all gone. I live in Australia where we don't get these, but these monsters scare the life out of me and hold such fascination, the sheer merciless power of them. I watch tornado season online every year. I remember visiting the American Midwest years ago and during tornado season, too, and I was very worried, made sure I knew where to go and watched the skies every day. I guess you live out your life always hoping the big one doesn't come, but this time it did :( So sorry to those who have lost loved ones, and to those who have lost all their possessions. I know you must feel lost and in shock, but just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
We live in Oklahoma. It was despairng to watch the radar last night and know the terror that was obviously happening in the paths of all those severe storm fronts. God, please protect people and help us help them 🥺💔
Yes.
Hoping the warning got to everyone in plenty of time. There isn't a place in a home to take cover in a storm like this.
Basement??
@@zoliver9304 basements won’t help if the storm is an EF4 or EF5. this storm in particular was an EF3 so basements probably did save a lot of people but even then not everyone has a basement
@@unoriginxlity oh really?? I thought as long as you had a basement you were mostly safe given in the right spot/protecting head
I watched this unfold during a live broadcasting of the storms. Last night was absolutely terrifying. Many PDS tornadoes
This was 1.5 miles south of my house. Doesn’t even feel real honestly. Like I see this footage and it’s not even recognizable as my hometown.
I thank God more people weren’t killed or hurt and obviously continuing to pray for everyone going through this.
Those in the community, the emergency responders, and all the outside help that have come to the aid of those affected have been phenomenal, they will never get enough credit.
Unbelievably sad. I cannot imagine what it would be like to find what remains of your home like that.
Wow this is terrible! Prayers for everyone affected.
We live less than a mile north from the direct hit. Had a few branches in the yard and nothing else. I can’t help but feel guilty. Heartbreaking for my town. 😢
I'm grateful to know you were spared. I trust you'll be one of many who'll roll up their shirt sleeves and with a full heart and come alongside those who need muscle and compassion. Bless you in that endeavor.
Did the tornado sound like a train, jet engine or a waterfall?
Omg, this is horrific 😢 💔 😞 😭 😫 😔 😢 I am so sad and heartbroken for these people. May God be with them during this terrible time to help rebuild
Prayers for everyone ❤
Amen.
This was the first major outbreak I’ve ever followed live time and to think that the 2011 super outbreak was so much worse just blows my mind. My heart breaks for these folks
Stuff can be replaced, but more importantly, any lives taken...any injuries...how about the animals who are so often forgotten during these devastations.
Yes...all of it is so tragic.
Yes, our dog made it, but this tornado took everything from us including our 14 chickens and rabbit. Which were pets, not food.
@@youtubecommentcreatorr Many people do not realize what wonderful companions ghat chickens are. I was blessed having them when I lived in the country. I am so sorry about your losses.
Ever since that Tongan Volcano blew up just over a year ago the climate has turned vicious
GOD GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO GO ON SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS HEART WRENCHING TO SEE TOWN AFTER TOWN GOD PLEASE LIFT THESE GOOD FOLKS UP!!
I’m in Indy & this is truly heartbreaking. I pray for these good people & for the lives lost. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s some catastrophic ef4 damage wow
Agreed
could be an ef5 too cause at the end of the video you see a brick structure completely swept away leaving just the foundation remain
@@mionaruse2748 I was thinking this as well, but the damage assessment will depend on how well-built the structure there was. Looks like high-end EF4 at the very least
@@JB-ym3vj dont forget it hit palestein illinois and an airport in its path before hitting sullivan dead on.
The music you used for the back ground was beautiful and somber . Good choice . Thoughts and prayers to those affected .
Strom chasers showed up there to help the trapped and got treated pretty bad
I can totally relate. I used to live in Penfield IL and the town next to us Gifford was hit worse than us. We knew many of the people affected & when we offered to help the whole town's attitude was cold, rude & talked down to us. So we were like "ok fvk you & good luck" The media paints this picture how the communities all come together for that "awwww" moment. It's all bu!!$h!t in reality
Wishing love, strength and healing to those affected.

Good video and great job on the music. Prayers for the people, pets and wildlife who have been devastated by these tornadoes.
Oh my God. Pray for them and all the people affected by yesterday's storms. I wish I could go over there and help them somehow. This is heartbreaking 💔 😢 And again, your video and footage captures this tragedy very well.
Yes, instead of actually helping let's just wish upon a star for them. Seems reasonable. 🙄🤮
@@rocketsfan6116 why the sarcasm? You don't know my situation. I swear, a person can't even comment any more and someone is jumping all over them. Are you in Sullivan today?
@@chebar. Sarcasm? I was completely serious, I truly don't understand how people don't see the logical inconsistency of a god that supposedly created the very tornado you're asking for prayers for. It's completely absurd. This is a natural disaster that needs natural solutions. Let's send money and supplies, not meaningless useless prayers.
@@rocketsfan6116 just as sad as what happened to all these tornado victims is the fact that you are not ready to meet your Maker. You have a serious shock coming your way. He is the Judge of this world, whether we like it or not. People need to humble themselves to that reality.
@@chebar. There's the christian love we all know so well...baseless assertions, veiled threats, incredible arrogance.
To many seriously deadly storms........ mercy! Mercy! Prayers 🙏
this is the worse than rolling fork. Prayers to those affected ❤🙏. At least ef4
Not F5 at all.
This is a probably strong f3 that came down with not much travel.
Why would they treat the storm chasers that came to help badly????? My lord they are only trying to save lives . Maybe these people who lost everything needed to be mad at someone ......😢😢😢😢😢
Maria is all depends on the kind of person
1. Some are very grateful and appreciate all the help
2. Some are shook up and at the moment are still in shock
3. some are very private people and do not want to be videotaped and having Storm chasers come they might think they're going to be getting recorded for reactions
4. A lot of times many hours later or half a day later all the help is appreciated that comes.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Thank you . Living in the northwest my 61 years I need a lesson or two about the midwest. God knows I have never experienced that kind of devastation.

God bless these people. We can expect Biden to maybe come out after this tragedy and talk more on ice cream
You must be a miserable person to be around.
I live about five blocks away from this. Been spending all morning trying to figure out what got hit and what didn't. Thank you for the footage.
Glad you made it through okay
The mainline CSX that comes down through there where the tracks were all tore up? Or was that the Indiana railroad tracks?
US 41 little bit to the west of there isn't it you can't quite see where the little area is from the highway can you it's kind of nestled in behind the trees?
I always get that town in Carlisle sort of confused where the prison is
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist 41 is just to the west. Two sets of tracks are in the area affected, but I have no idea which is which.
@@Darkbirdy okay I thought so.
People were commenting not knowing anything about it Sullivan is completely gone!!
it's like I don't think so this is kind of a remote area but more of a rural outskirts almost headed towards Carlisle.
I know the main drag is right up 41 where the little Walmart is and all that other stuff sits right off of 41 there at that light.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist The main part of town is a few blocks east of 41. The Walmart is just where one road meets the highway.
Sullivan is not gone, but the southern tip is. A block further north and it would have hit several times as many homes (including a trailer park.) Two or three blocks north and it would have gone through the middle of town.
But before I say that we were lucky, one or two blocks south and it would have hit almost nothing.
What doesn't show on the video is that Sullivan was just one point along a path nearly nine miles long. And the tornado was just 10mph from being in the top 1%, strength wise.
@@Darkbirdyya originated across the river over in Illinois and small touchdown in Robinson jumped over state line and kept on going got stronger as it got toward sullivan
Pulmonary reports are saying strong f3 for Sullivan. Giving 150 5 mi an hour per hour winds in an f3 and that little area where it was a direct hit there's no doubt about it that still beyond significant.
Global warming
Or
God’s warning
Just mother nature.
Start researching the solar activity and what it causing
If you buy into anti-science conspiracy theory you might think it's solar something or other.
If you be of the fundamentalist Christian ilk then you might think God had something to do with it.
And if you move with the antiglobal warming crowd then you say it's just nature's natural changes going on.
But if you believe in what the science says then you will recognise that these storms are getting worse and more frequent and realize that more CO2 in atmosphere results in more energy in the atmosphere due to retained heat and record breaking tornado outbreaks like this are a result of the warming climate!!
We was going to stay at the days inn last night. Glad our plans got canceled. Prayers for everyone in Sullivan.
Thank you for showing this . My IN and IL storm channels have not shown it! Not sure its even been on the news 😮
Wow! Prayers for all! My father was born there and my ancestors settled that area.
This is why I am such a stickler with the details in the shelters we build (not saying the name) It is worth the effort when I see destruction like this. I hope my crew takes pride in making something that may save a families life some day even though the process is monotonous at times. Thanks for the video, and say safe!
I remember Sullivan from attending a 4_H interstate exchange in 1965. The nicest people in a wonderful tight knit community. The county seat of Sullivan was just a beautiful town. Or 4-H group came from NJ
I hope that all will find peace and rebuild better than ever.
That last 25 seconds of footage is very telling about how powerful this tornado was. No wreckage, just a concrete flat where a house was. I really hope that family got out of there!!
I was following repeater traffic from Skywarn as I was trying to capture this storm. The repeater in Sullivan county went down due to the massive power outage so I could only hear so much. It was so dangerous that I couldn't proceed. Trees down, traffic lights out, flooding everywhere. Other spotters stated that the traditional P25 radio went down due to the outage and they were using the 800 frequencies for first responders. I want to let everyone know that I am willing to volunteer my time to help where needed. This storm cell was actually supposed to travel towards my area but it shifted. Prayers to all involved.
Ohio Storm Chasers. Powerful video. God bless all victims and responders.
This is devastating! I pray for you and your neighbors.
Beautiful footage with the drone. Great job!
My heart and prayers to everyone affected 🙏
I lived in Alabama during the super outbreak and I am in Indiana during this one. I was working at wabash valley correctional facility which was only a few miles south of where the tornado hit. Luckily had all the inmates locked up before power cut off
