Crews and volunteers worked hard to help clear debris and to help stage search and rescue after a severe tornado outbreak produced a tornado that hit Greenfield, Iowa. Multiple fatalities were reported along with dozens being transported to the hospital. The town has a population of around 2,000 people.
A former Iowan here. My heart goes out to Greenfield and the other areas of Iowa hit by the tornadoes yesterday. My thoughts are prayers are with you all.
I'm a Knoxville Sprint Car fan, who spent my summers as a young boy at Spirit Lake with my grandfather. This is extremely devastating.
Natures wrath is humbling. I'm surprised that anyone lived through this. God bless you all
I got humbled years ago with hurricane Andrew in South Florida so you make a strong point there.
I wouldn't even know where to start 😢
Prayers for those folks. That's rough.🙏
Let's not overlook the ability of people to come together and coordinate the rescue, relief and reconstruction efforts -- A heartwarming footnote to all of the chaos.
As an Iowan I would never wish this on anyone, these storms are just indescribably scary and devastating...
It always amazes me how some houses/buildings stay untouched while everything else gets destroyed.
And the amount of flying debris makes vehicles look like crumpled beer cans. It's almost unbelievable.
The variances in which wind hits and deflects off objects is beyond most people's comprehension but the answer to why some buildings get destroyed and some don't is very simple if you think about it.
Two of our babies were born at Adair county hospital. One today 52 years ago.
Sad to see the destruction of homes and beautiful tree lined streets. Delivered milk to some of those homes on weekends and summer with my Dad.
Truly a s sign of the time we are living in now. Our Condolences to all who lost so much in this powerful Monster storm
All the while, politicians in Washington are wasting billions in Ukraine. People are going to need to think about building houses under ground. There's a model farm in Des Moines that is largely underground.
Defending democracy is not a waste of money!

Scenes from the walking dead
Heartbreaking.
I’m glad they are starting to clean up, but a lot of these people are not going to rebuild. This is a small town and it’s going to take a minute for it to halfway come back
Our heart goes out to all affected! 🙏
Отличный канал. Спасибо Вам.
Ef4 to ef5 is my guess especially as it started to exit town.
Where do you start 😢
Wow wow wow
Prayers for these people 🙏🏼
This is the crappy end of it .
It's so cold and windy this am
I’d like to see how a cinder block home would hold up compared to typical code- built homes.
I wonder how many of these home owners were not covered by insurance.
This tragic devastation looks like an easy EF-4 rating
I know we aren’t supposed to rate a tornado based on visible damage, but I completely agree. The tree debarking and the car damage reminds me of many ef4 tornadoes.
Very sobering...
Heartfelt comment
Is there a preliminary rating out in this?
No its at least ef3+ nws des moines said I think it will at least be ef4 and there is a 99% chance that this is ef4
Sad
The powers of the orishas
🙏🙏🙏🎯🌍🔥🔥🔥🔥
The world has changed
**Nam myoho rengekyo**
🙏 pray 🌍 peace 🕊️ be safe and recovery quickly 🙏

lessons learned: live in an area prone to tornados? build homes from bricks. is this so hard to understand?
While brick homes and even wood framed homes with brick facade are more resilient to wind and debris impacts, and that construction could've reduced the damage to nearby houses not in the direct path, if your house was in the direct path of this particular tornado, it wouldn't have mattered, it would shred a brick home apart just the same. Also, if a brick house collapses, you're more likely to be crushed or trapped, and those bricks can become missiles, so there are downsides as well. This tornado bent and sheered foundation anchor bolts, it completely stripped a truck body from it's frame, it tossed large sections of foundational slabs like frisbees, and it lofted debris up to 30,000-40,000 feet in the air. If your house is anything short of an underground concrete bunker, a direct hit from this tornado would've destroyed it all the same.
@@K31TH3R you write it as if its proud to have the most definitely weakest structure-home. who tf stays inside while theres a tornado blasting, one thing if its not a car owner. smh. still your argument is valid but the surrounding houses would take less damage which apparently aint worth in america. smh!!
@@kirill747 Nah, pride takes no part, I live in a brick home about 60 miles from where this tornado hit, and it's just the reality of the situation, there are pros and cons to any structure you pick in a tornado. Statistically, a car is also the worst to place to be in a tornado, and it's one of the reasons you're told to leave your car and find any kind of indoor shelter. In fact, you have better odds of surviving by laying in a ditch next to the road than staying in a car. This particular tornado was fast, moving at 85mph, so just imagine trying to drive at 100mph+ in torrential rain while hydroplaning, low visibility, and 50mph+ wind gusts while trying to drive away from it.
@@K31TH3R yeah its fast af, great scenario! real good action flick, cause no mention of previous warnings spamming every 10 minutes, no radar, no smartphone, no nothing, then ofcourse you better dig a hole in the ground even if there is no storm and just lie there til the end! no pride.... comes from someone well sheltered, yeah i dont believe that one sorry. and obviously in a car, you drive away from it preferably 30 min before in a path where it wont collide with you. e z
@@kirill747 You should look at the roads around Greenfield. Poorly maintained 2 lane roads with pulverized dust on them from crops which acts like ice when it first starts raining. Even if you decide to jump in your car every time a storm system has any potential at all of dropping tornadoes (which in tornado alley, is most storms), chances are still good you encounter large hail that will shatter your windows and ruin every body panel on your car. The odds of your house getting a direct hit in a tornado is like winning the lottery and you're dealing with a lot fewer variables if you shelter, you get in a car and the variables that can lead to loss of property, injury, or death skyrocket. Every year there are experienced professional storm chasers, who despite understanding where these storms will be better than any of us, still end up getting killed while chasing these things. I'm sorry man, as someone who has lived in tornado alley my entire life, even been involved with cleanup, I'm not calling you stupid, but on this particular subject, what you're saying is stupid.
I'm in Arkansas, I love chasin storms etc, wonderful footage this is what we live for here
ужас

ITS THE SUN AND THE BLACK SUN WAKE UP ITS NOT US
What does that mean?
That he's nuttier than a pile of elephant poop.
@@qualitylife9359 Hell if any of us know
@@qualitylife9359 he has schizophrenia
@@qualitylife9359 It means that the magnetic field of the planet is weakening and the next pole shift is on the way. It means that everything we know about this planet behaviour in climate matter is going to reset during a long, long time. The black sun in a phenomena of dust accretion in sun heliosphere culminating with a possible micronova, the climax of this next dark ages.
When will we got some updates from damage survey
Usually takes a few days. They have to call in a special team if they think damage was higher than EF3.
they should of issued a tornado emergency wen it was approuching greenfield with a debris ball nearly 2 miles wide this was catastrophic damage.
