Damn did she say 130 tornadoes???? Prayers for everyone ❤
We’ve had a pretty tame couple of years behind us, seems like nature’s playing catch-up this year
@@casadilla111 or these storms were caused by rain seeding
@@AmusedCoffee-ym3gblol you give them far too much credit.
obviously those prayers don't work
27 in Okla sat
So sorry to hear.Prayers for those who lost homes and businesses.
Absolutely horrible, NOW, let’s stop sending billions overseas and help our own!!!!
Get a clue already. As the richest country in the world we can do both sending aid to foreign countries while also helping people in this country in their time of need.
Foreign aid and helping Americans in times of disaster are two completely different funding sources!!
A faithful Trump supporter lost 450k by investing in Truth Social. Take Trump out if it… a 74 year old guy losing half his life savings like that is just sad. 😢
My grandmother would say every time man goes to the moon something goes wrong on the planet Earth and what goes up must come down lately space junk is falling in people's houses 😮
@michaeldeierhoi4096 NO WE CANT that's what wrong with you ignorant government ball gobblers stop believing everything they tell you. And even if we could afford it that doesn't mean we should just be passing out billions without doing for America first, ASS CLOWN
The United States Of Is real will never help American citizens
I live in tatums ok.. 30 mins from Sulphur.. I have been crying all day for the families and businesses there. It's such a somber day in Oklahoma. #Oklahomastrong
This is judgment coming upon those who have not and will not repent. Idolatry, slavery, witchcraft, etc,etc.
@@setapart4Yah81That is so corny. Did you travel here from the 1600s? I thought their might be some time traveling with all these damn tornadoes, lo and behold.. A real life pilgrim.

Prayers for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏
My prayer goes out to Oklahoma
Sending prayers to yall of those peoples that are covered by the tornado 🌪 that has happened
Praying for those families and the many communities.
I can empathize. My street and home was hit by a F4 in 2019, and I still need repairs, and some homes remain unrepaired, some were destroyed. I used to live in Omaha and have friends and family there. My prayers go out to the people of this devastation.
Sulphur is a great little town, with an awesome National Park. Hopefully the community can recover quickly. Thankfully, there wasn't an even greater loss of life. R.I.P to all those that did perish.
130 tornadoes since Thursday? Wow! I'm so glad our reporters are so honest and responsible with our news. 🤨
Condolences to the families affected by this storm...😞
Praying for you!
My god! This is mother nature vs. humans.
Welcome to the early stages of climate change. WAIT FOR IT!
ANd you know who always wins
Who controls the weather?
The Lord of Hosts Jehovah Jireh controls the weather and his son Jesus Christ created the heavens and the earth
This just shows us all that in the end who is in charge💜✌🏽🙏🏻

who brought this upon them?
This is so heartbreaking.
Now that the government has admitted to weather control/seeding why aren't people asking, did the government do this?
Wow really?? What is the connection between cloud seeding and EF 3 or stronger tornadoes or any tornadoes?? How about none! A basic class in the weather would teach you that!!
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 here you are again bootlicking for uncle same 😂
People are too distracted and dumb to pay any attention to what's really going on.
I have wondered the same thing. The same with the so called wild fires in Texas.
That's not true. A basic class in cloud seeding using BA & AL along with the use of ionization, heating up our atmosphere, might bring you up to speed, but I doubt it. Ask the UAE. It's weather warfare ffs.
My cousin's home in Soulfer was destroyed. Good thing they were out of state. Pray for the community.
Prayers for them.
Praying for all the people.
Praying for Oklahoma
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by these tornados.
Need to go on up in Iowa .
Dear Lord!! My heart breaks for those in the paths of these natural monster!! I’m heartbroken for the families that have lost everything including family.
sure you are...
I have family in Sulphur. No one I know was hurt. But those streets that my family helped BUILD almost 150 years ago. Seeing that... that DAMAGE. Its heartbreaking. Those poor, poor people. My thoughts and prayers go to the fine folks of Sulphur, OK. And to the fine folks of Murray County Police, Sheriff, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. God bless you all
Prayers and thoughts for all ❤
We don't get tornadoes where I live, but I feel for these folks.
Crazy stuff, this is NOT normal to have so many tornadoes!!!😯
It is not that rare. About every five to ten years. This was across several states, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa, in the last 3 days. Oklahoma alone had 149 reported tornadoes in 2019. The majority of tornadoes occur in May, with 1,776 occurring in May since 1950. In 2019, 105 of the 149 Oklahoma tornadoes occurred in May, and that does not include the number of tornadoes in the other Plains States.
It is also important, when looking at the records since 1950, to understand that the developments in radar technology and tracking have increased significantly since then, so that it is much easier now to count tornadoes that would have gone unreported in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's. I grew up in Oklahoma, and when I was a kid spotting a tornado relied on eyesight and damage for the most part. While they had radar for weather patterns, the ability to identify tornadoes on radar didn't happen until Doppler radar in Oklahoma. Before that tornadoes would have been under reported depending on if they were seen and if they caused damage. Most night time tornadoes would only be reported if there was damage, for instance. Modern weather radar helps a lot in aiding our weathermen to locate, track, and warn communities, but sometimes there isn't much warning if one suddenly drops down. I watched one float over my house once, but it didn't drop down until it was about two miles past. Even with radar they look for a hook echo, wind speeds, and debris picked up by the radar. Without the debris to let them know it is on the ground, or the observation of storm chasers, radar can't tell if a tornado is on the ground.
It is normal. Tornado outbreaks happen every year. Sometimes there are towns in their paths.
Why is it called Climate change.
I see that weather, climate, and how that works should be taught in schools apparently.
Awful stuff 😢 130+ tornadoes is just insane I can't imagine going through that
And instead of our government helping itll be just like the Hawaii tragedy and they’ll send our tax money to another country
Nonsense 🤡@@ShaquilleOatmeal94
Prayers!
Makes me feel grateful. I’m curious if there’s such thing as tornado coverage like insurance
Homeowners ins covered my damage a few yrs ago. We had 5 broken windows, siding and roof damage, some people lost buildings, and, I think most, if not all, were fairly satisfied with the ins coverage.
Years ago e visited family back east during tornado season. I was shocked at how people who live there have become complacent about the emergency warning system. We live in WA state where there really aren't any real dangers from storms. So I guess we are more sensitive to the dangers as opposed to be desensitized from the warnings go off and then there not being any funnels touching down.
I remember being awake watching tv the first night and the warnings going across the tv screen. I asked my family members if we should go into the basement. This was when all the children were in there beds sleeping.
The person's who were desensitized thought it better to just go back to bed. It would be fine etc.
I couldn't sleep though and stayed awake worrying. This is a good example of how we become too comfortable.
I was born in Florida and remember tornadoes and hurricanes as a child.
I'm still sensitive to the dangers, I remember that fear as a child.
Prayers for those back east. Stay sensitive to the world around you.
Don't allow yourself to be too comfortable.
Stay safe.❤
Sending prayers to keep them safe.
130+ is bloody insane 🤯
Thats sad. May the affected people find strength to stand up again.
And tornadoes usually come and night which is even harder 😢
Nice to see her not care about her own safety. 😂 The dude driving the mini excavator sent into a panic.

Sending prayers.
So sad. God bless these people
Gotta improve infrastructure, that's the only way forward
Earthquakes and natural disasters in one place after another
praying for all who were affected 💕✝️
The frightening reality is shift the path of this hellion 100 miles south and it would have plowed through the DFW area. 100 miles north and it would have levelled a good sized piece of Oklahoma City.
Praying for you God bless
Looks like GAZA
I'm thankful that I will never understand folks that use human tragedy for personal gain.
Sorry this happened to yall.
Rip to the lives lost especially the four month old baby 😢

@@jerryw6699 That's either bad sarcasm or you really are confused. Most of the states in the plains and the south ARE in red states and that's where tornadoes hit the most often.

So sad and unfortunate 😢 🙏🙏
Only 4 ppl died. Geez. 2 in holdenville 1 in sulphur one in Marietta.
That's pretty bad but I guess Stintt never saw the EF5 in Moore. Sometimes all that was left was foundations.
WOW, deadly! 😲😲
EF-3 my ass!! Thats at least an EF-4 Maybe an EF-5. Those were monsters!! I've survived an EF-4 and it was 45 seconds of Hell on Earth! Prayers for Omaha Nebraska and Missouri!!
EF-3 EF-4 most likely
EF-5 would've reduced this town into nothing
@@VanitasCarte-pt1loEF-4
@@floyd8153 figured as much, when Moore got hit with EF-5 became a literal warzone gone bad
If this was an EF 4 the damage would have been worse with more buildings destroyed and nothing left but the cement pad and shattered piles of wood.
And with an EF 5 sometimes even the pads are ripped up and bark ripped off of trees. At best this was a high end EF 3. Wine speeds were measured at 135 mph which also puts it at an EF3.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 well lets see 130 tornadoes were confirmed wouldn't be surprise if there was unrecorded EF5 somewhere around the area of Oklahoma
It has been nasty in this neck of the woods. We had another warning tonight.
All events in the month of April almost happened at the same time which would be pestilences..however..they remain catastrophic but not a despairing end. Perhaps they can and will come back and rebuild
Move. Leave the tornado Alley
Most every part of the country deals with some kind of natural disaster at some point.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 you're right. But guess what? I'm from okc and have been thru 15 tornados in my life. It's a flat plain surface and it's called tornado alley for a reason. Every May we get attacked. So please educate me on my home state. Remember May 3rd '99? We had a tornado 1 mile wide with over 300mph winds. In Moore Oklahoma a whole elementary was destroyed with all the kids in it. So please educate me...dumbass

People forget we live on a round ball in space
I knew it was going to be EF3 tornado because of how much damage it has caused. Welcome to Tornado Season and won’t be over anytime soon since May is coming up. Last time Sulfur Oklahoma got hit by a tornado was 2016.
Was there no warning? Why did the parents of that baby move to another state for safety until after the tornado 🌪 😢😢
There was a warning, but sometimes tornadoes are so destructive that casualties still happen.
You may only get a few minutes actual warning when a tornado is spotted but in general, noone can predict which city, street or house will get hit
😢
Will congress act and put forth 90 billion dollar spending bill for our own country? Probably not unless it has keywords such as ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan attached.... 😢
I guess each state needs to hire lobbyists, and send them to DC with enough money to bribe congress. The defense industry has deep pockets, so it won't be cheap.
Sounds about right!😂😂
I have heard that lame complaint over and over with this outbreak of tornadoes. But some people apparently have really short memories and forget all the other times that the government has provided aid to areas that suffered a natural disaster.
Couldn’t imagine living in a place where I have to rebuild my house every year.
It is rare for anyone to get by tornadoes in successive years.
We need underground shelters.
shi looks like Madaraa Uchicha using 5 massive tornado jutsus
I pray for all these people why isn't our Congress and president helping instead of helping all the other countries they don't care about American people
It hasn't even been 24 hours since these tornadoes hit Oklahoma and already we have to listen to whiney children complaining about aid from the government as if it would happen immediately!! Grow up already!!
Dang. I just heard the record outbreak in 2011 was because of el nino. Well el nino caused a record warm winter here in Minnesota. I hope 2011 doesn't repeat itself but it appears it is starting to already
Maybe rebuild underground?
This isn’t a cartoon or Hollywood movie, be realistic
@PauloHernandezXD in 1980 a tornado struck my friends house 5 miles away. The house was actually his grandparents. His grandma refused to move back unless they built underground. They did, in Florida. It's in St. Cloud, FL. I believe it was sold some years later but, the roof is still mowed to this day. It also keeps a fairly consistent temperature year round. That would be beneficial for Oklahoma. I believe the indigenous people somewhat did this with grass mounds. It is time to mitigate some of the environmental challenges that likely will continue. It's a matter of adaptation. It might be good for California too
curious could copper wire on wood disrupt the haarp or another way? and is any government aid helping the victims?
You must be new to how the government provides assistance to regions that have experienced a natural disaster. Did you just move to the US?
Because the way it works is that the governor requests disaster relief from the US government which in turn provides financial aid to that region.
And since it has only been maybe 24 hours since these tornadoes hit southern Oklahoma it is too early from aid to have been processed already, but it's only a matter of time!
TEMA
HAARP has nothing to do with this.

How much does an insurance cover for this? For a house?

Repent from forcing your God on everyone
God did a great job here for sure. He must have been in a good mood. This is only EF3 damage.
Why is it that only America has this issue ? Anyone with answers ?
Is it going to get worse ?
Anyone know ?
What measures are going to be put in place when it’s 200 or more tornadoes a week ?
Praying might help 🫶🏼
This is terrifying, looks like Palestine
Looks like destruction is happening in more and more places! Whether man made or natural disasters world is going downhill 😮😮
Pesky Democrat twisters, Lord Trump save your people 😂 man, reading some of these comments that have turned from concerning y'all selves with loss of life and their homes to politics and blaming Biden, for tornadoes 🤦 seriously though, hope these people stay safe. Sad to see 😔
it's crazy, I've got a friend that still blames Obama for all of his problems. But my dad worshipped Truman for 70 yrs.
MORONIC💥
We would have the $ for repairs if we didn’t give it all away to Ukraine.
The US government has a yearly budget of over SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS!! So why are you whining about aid from the government when it hasn't even been 24 hours since the tornadoes hit!?!?
No one blame global warming yet.
This is spring time weather. Had it for thousands of years. Billions?
didn't they ban science in oklahoma?

We need AI computer 🖥️
In any state that is in tornado alley or any that have tornadoes with such magnitude.... isn’t there alarms/warnings etc?
Do they do special school drills for tornadoes? Safe space to get etc?
I’m asking because although anywhere can have a tornado of some kind, not as destructive or deadly such as these
(I’m on the west coast and yes we have had some in my lifetime)
but our biggest concern and threat is our earthquakes for which we have no warnings and many I’ve been through are to violent to get to a safe place.. only a second to throw yourself off the bed and create an A-frame trying to prevent the crushing of the ceiling , fixtures etc on yourself.
Do they periodically access buildings, homes etc? Or is everyone on their own as in ‘I hope one never comes this way’
Or are there building codes for tornadoes?
Prayers to all the families going through this horrible tragedy.
Yes, we have sirens, but the weather men/women that we depend on just look at radar and local reports of a tornado. It all happens so fast sometimes that there just isn’t enough time to get out of harms way.
My neighbors homes are flattened. We have been without power for 24 hours now. There were so many tornadoes popping up in every direction last night and repeat tornadoes going over already hit areas. I mourn for my community as I type this in the dark 😢
Also, the majority of homeowners have storm shelters here in Southern Oklahoma. When you look at radar, the only way to verify a tornado is when one is already on the ground and causing radar to show a misinterpretation. Which means objects in the air.
Earthquakes are horrendous too but this is even worse I think.
I live in a town between Sulphur and Marietta here in Oklahoma. Our town was safe this time. So to try and answer your question, yes most towns do have some sort of tornado warning siren. My town tests theirs every Friday at noon to make sure they are working. Many of the smaller towns do not have any sort of warning systems. Schools do have tornado drills that they do as well. No there is no building requirement that I am aware of that businesses have to meet. Although some businesses are built to that standard. As an example, I live in the country between the 2 counties that were hit by the tornadoa. I work for the biggest employer in our county and we have shelters inside our facility. Some towns and schools do have shelters that they will open up for tornado weather but the majority of the people have to fend for themselves. It's roughly 3 to 4 thousand dollars to have an approximate 8x8x8 cellar installed on your property. I'm thankful that I have one.
On a side note the biggest employer of our county also has employees from these 2 counties that were hit by tornados. This business is actually shutting down. It was announced a few months ago. Some people will be loosing their job and on top of that may have lost their home as well. It's really sad for our area. Prayers for everyone affected.
@@CapybaraDen I’m so sorry😞! I’m
sure like us with earthquakes many come through in the middle of the night, hence everyone is asleep and to gather all your loved ones in panic is another added horrific feeling of panic!
And with the added ‘multiple tornadoes’ I can’t imagine the horror of no where safe. 😪🙏🏻
My mom told me of sometimes the sirens going off in time to get to safe shelter then others being too late in going off too. She lived in Oklahoma and Arkansas growing up so during that time news channels with weather predictions was extremely rare.
Please ask God for his help and other things to live and be safe and careful to okay please thank you for your help God bless you all okay thanks.

This outbreak of April 2024 is similar to the 2011 Super Outbreak of tornadoes which occurred in another tornado alley called Dixie Alley. The outbreak lasted from 25 April to 28 April 2011, with 175 tornadoes struck Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi, most severely and additionally, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and New York were struck. In all a total of 360 tornadoes were confirmed by the NWS (National weather Service) of NOAA. Courtesy is due to Wikipedia for some of this info. See Wikipedia - 2011 Super Outbreak, for an excellent article on this event. Another very tragic and very costly, but single tornado event, was the 2011 Joplin Tornado, which occurred on early Sunday evening 22 May 2011 around 5:40 PM. Wikipedia has another excellent article on this Joplin tornado event as well.
