This is my hometown, I moved three years ago, half my family still live here, they state they saw the tornado, their house shook, though the tornado didn't hit them, they were fairly far down from the church. I'm so thankful them, and everyone else there lives, rlly, rlly, thankful :
Judging by widespread debris fields scattered among the fields, we need to take a hard look at how we build our homes. Traditional built houses are not built to withstand the force of an F3, F4 or F5 Tornado. We have to think outside the box, (no pun) to gain stability.
What about mobile homes? They aren't built to withstand ANYTHING. Yet most mobile home parks such as the one I live in, do not have tornado shelters. Residents must fend for themselves. The Van Buren County (Michigan) Office of Emergency Preparedness advises residents of mobile home parks to get in the bathtub and pull a mattress over them, contrary to what the NWS advises people to do, which is to leave. But to go where? Unless you are lucky enough to have friends with a basement who live nearby, who are home at the time, and will allow you to stay with them, and provided you also have enough lead time to reach them and that going there will not take you directly into the path of the storm, you are sh*t out of luck. We need to treat tornadoes the way we treat fires. I've been told that it takes money to build or make public shelters available. Well, you know what, it takes money to equip and staff a fire department. It takes money to come up with building codes, to mandate smoke alarms, fire alarms, sprinkler systems, hydrants--yet nobody objects to that money being spent. We don't leave it to each individual homeowner or business owner to decide what kind of safety features they should have in place (if any). Because the reason for those regulations, just like in the airline industry, is written in blood. Let's start taking tornadoes seriously.

Hello my friend! It's real easy. God made you! Jesus saves sinners like you and me! Check out Dean odles biblical flat earth presentation! This presentation of truth bringing people to God and savior Jesus!
Those hundreds of billions in bombs "fixing" Ukraine sure could do a lot of good here in the US fixing communities after major storms. Lobbyists and politicians don't get rich off constructively using our taxes.
Funds for different causes come out of separate accounts. All the governor needs to do is declare a disaster and the federal money will be released. It takes nothing from Ukraine and anything going to Ukraine takes nothing from domestic needs. We can - and will - do both. That’s the government’s responsibility.
Just think all these new paper houses that are being built like there's no tomorrow and stacked up next to each other in what used to be fields. They'll be decimated year after year!!!
It’s pretty common. We’re near enough tornado valley. Indian lake in Ohio supposedly had 3 deaths from a tornado which is about an hour or so away from this tornado in Winchester.
thats nasty, we dont normaly get super strong tornados like that in indiana, looks like the downtown and raceway were spared though which in that small city is what keeps its name on the maps, it was the first 1/2 mile track built spacificly for auto sports in the world its said, and the highest banked active raceway at 37 degrees only few were ever higher, like the board tracks of 100 years ago built like a bike velodrome, and the terramar in spain , at one time the winchester speedway had 45 degree banking for a few years as a dirt track its getting ready also to have an eclipse viewing party in about two weeks, though the cleanup will take a good amount of time. thankfully no one died from this event
@@rhondaeverett8284 just going by what they said on the facebook page said they saw the funnels over the speedway and they touched down two miles from there dont know about the houses though
As bad as this may seem , the last Class 5 Hurricane that hit Coastal Louisiana had 150 mph winds and they measured 50 miles in width that's a 50 mile wide F-3 tornado sustained inland for over a hour before loosing any strength at all , that literally destroyed everything in a 50 mile path and 30 -40 miles inland imagine those winds not letting up and you have some idea what a class 5 Hurricane is all about !
Looks like the more expensive brick homes held up much better. If you face your vehicles directly into the wind, up next to your home, they both will hold up better. Also run several 10,000 lb or higher cargo straps across the roof on gable end facing the wind. Also 3/4” precut plywood with bolts ready to install on upwind side of house.
They keep talking about God...the one who did this...by the "grace" of God....the irony is too much. Yea, so much for his grace. "He" even destroyed the churches. U know? The people that worship him daily.
If you think deity is responsible for sparing tragedy, you are flattering yourself. He, she or it could also have done a better job of looking out for people.
@UnchainedAmerica Real simple my friend! God made you! Jesus can save you sinner!!!!! Accept Savior Jesus and when you die you go to heaven with a few questions, then go to hell thinking YOU knew all the answer's !

Anymore we have these tornadoes damned near everywhere and almost year around. The weather is changing, obviously. Weird weather happened when I was a kid, once in a blue moon, but now we have it all the time. Deadly tornadoes all over the midwest in the middle of March? Completely bizarre.
@Lilpeanut9 most new stores are built as cheap as possible, 165 mph winds are still super intense and that's about right for the damage, never be in a dollar general during a tornado they are basically a big card board box
@@dustinscheller7795 yes that's true. Oh yeah I saw it as it was moving towards Selma and it was really wicked out. I got some good footage and pictures of the sky. It was trying to start up with the rotation cause I felt and heard it. So sad for the people's homes destroyed and lives lost in Ohio.

Indiana strong.
Looks worse than a F3.
That first image was a partially swept slab
It looks like EF3 to me. EF4+ damage is catastrophic and they also take into account how well the houses hit were constructed.
Nowhere does it look more than F-3 which can be 160 MPH.
NWS said high-end EF3 with 155-165 mph winds. 166 is where EF4 starts.
After living through the Whiteland tornado that flattened the old part of town it was rated an EF3.

I figured this tornado was likely in the EF-3 to potentially low end EF-4 range. Probably will get a mid to high end EF-3 rating.
