My heart breaks for everyone involved. I’m so glad you and your family are safe. Thank you for sharing this video. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a better New Year for everyone.🙏🏻
I've been through tornadoes before but nothing like this. I can't imagine. Those people looking for Stephen, it's so hard to watch. This video was very tastefully done and I'm sure it was hard for you to put together but thank you for sharing with us. I'm glad you and your family are OK ❤
Thank you! Me too! His sister told the story of how fast it hit which everyone locally knows it literally came out of absolutely nowhere. It wasn’t even storming! So so so scary. He had no time 😭
Years ago Elie, Manitoba got hit with a F5 tornado and only a couple houses got it, my aunty, Uncle and dog went to the basement and put a mattress over them, there house was totally gone, and the only spot that never got touched was were they were hiding, Thank God they got out safe.
Flashbacks when you see your community hit. An EF4 hit Washington, IL on Nov 17th, 2013 while at church - whole town pretty much hit w/ a lot of damage, homes knocked off their foundation, businesses wiped out, but yet our church stood w/ only a 2x4 in the roof and the tornado just barely missed us. Our church was the central hub b/c we had Caterpillar generators brought in. They organized something called "Loads of Love" and members took laundry to their homes to wash clothing for these people who lost everything. I remember doing 13 loads that day for people and having to shake off dirt/insulation, etc., and return it the next day to church. Jessica, thank you for all the hard work you do w/ this wonderful channel.
Wow I grew up in Washington IL! I actually lived in Sunnyland from 2nd grade through high school! Where did you go to School! My name is Yvette Pataska, maiden name was Rivera. So sorry about the tornado that hit there in 2013. Sounds horrible. Just reading comments and seen yours and small world. Have a good night
Gosh that footage and pictures of the tornado was so hard to watch I just cried 😢. I went through a tornado in May of 99 had two little girls and 8 months pregnant with my third child we lost everything . I will be saying prayers 🙏 for the families . Jessi , I am glad you and your family were safe have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . Much love and blessings from Texas
Jessi, The footage here is just so devastating. I'm so emotional right now. I can only imagine how you all feel. Your last home was so sad. I'm so sorry for your community. I will take the New England weather any day over what people have endured in these terrible tornatoes. Please take care. Try try to have a Merry Christmas with your family. 🎄🎋🎁🎀🙏❤
I was so sad to watch the end of this... heartbreaking and devastating beyond words. I am praying for the families who have had loved ones pass. Thank you for shedding light on this.
That is so sad to see. That was kind of you to help. I just feel so bad for those affected and the lives that were lost. I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅
Oh my gosh this made me sad to hear. I remember I was hooked on all your videos and wanted my house to look like that house. I remember all the rooms. It wasn’t even my house and it hit me to see those pictures. 😩
My heart is broken for your town and for all those that experience this tragic event. I am sobbing while watching your video. Prayers for you and everyone around you.🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
Omg so sad for the people that lost everything 😢 I remembered you home where you started TH-cam. I’ve never seen a tornado. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year and blessings to your family. Looking forward to seeing your videos when you come back. 🥰😍😊👍
Wow so devastating. The pictures at the end are just so sad. I’m sorry about the loss of your TH-cam home and I’m so sorry about the loss of lives. My heart and prayers go out to all the families affected 💔 🙏🏻 Thanking God that you guys are ok.
😥😢I extend my deepest condolences and sympathy to all those affected. I am immensely relieved that you and your family are safe. Hope the New Year will bring a lot of joy and hapinness💙
I couldn’t finish watching this because I am crying. I couldn’t imagine losing my loved ones. My daughter and and son in law lived in the neighborhood across the street from this one when he was in military. They moved 4 years ago from there. My prayers go out to everyone there. So heart breaking…..
I am so very sorry to see all the damage that has been done to your community and for all the loss of lives. I remember that house so very well. I have followed your channel since not long after you started and it breaks my heart to see all the damage. I was in tears watching the video. I am praying for all of you.
Prayers for the families that were hit. Im from Kentucky we had warnings and one touched down i think but thankfully we weren't hit where i live. So sorry about your first home ❤🙏🏻 The video was definitely sad, i would have been terrified. I hate storms.
So hard to watch the devastation from the tornado. Praying for the community. I remember your old house and so sad to see it completely destroyed. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
We had a tornado go through our area about 10 years ago. My dad had a tree fall on his truck and the house right next to his head (he was laying on the ground taking cover). He had a pond at the time and all the fish were killed also because they loss oxygen. But, miraculously, his house was the only one left standing where he was. He lived in an old farmhouse, so the construction may have been different, but all the houses around it looked like a wrecking ball had just leveled them. It was so devastating to witness! Prayers for your community.
The tornado footage is absolutely terrifying. I live in Hendersonville and the tornado missed my house by less than a mile. I have never felt so blessed and grateful in my life. My thoughts and prayers are and have been with the victims of this disaster.
i am so glad you guys are ok them tornados are really nasty i hate them but i am thank ful you guys are doing ok happy holidays and a wonderful new year god bless your family
How heartbreaking. I am from the Northeast and we USUALLY don't get tornados. I cannot imagine how scary this is and how heartbreaking for the families. I am glad your family is ok. My heart goes out to those families who lost family and their homes.
Thank you for sharing... it is devastating to see. My heart aches for the loss of lives and homes. My sister, in Hartsville, is starting the process of rebuilding. Cleanup will be on-going, but we are all doing as much as we can. It is so emotional. I still have terrible worry from when the 2020 tornado came through and hit my neighborhood. Prayers for all...
I am so very glad that you and your family are okay and safe. My heart breaks for the families that had to go through the tornado 🙏❤️ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️💚❤️
Hi Jessi I am sorry for all that you and your family and neighbors went through Im praying for yall May the Lord give you all peace and help you all rebuild a new home my heart goes out to all of you
Awe how sad about your old house my heart goes out to you all and every one in your area , this was so motivating to get things done and I love having the ambiance videos on my TV it's so relaxing to me I have difficulties sleeping listening to some thing like that helps me so much and I sleep so much better now
Awesome cleaning motivation! I can’t imagine what those who were impacted by the tornados are going through right now with Christmas coming up and some not having a home😥
Yes, that was the exact tornado that touched down. That was not far from me about 20 minutes. It could have really went bad. Had it turned and went in our direction.
I am so sorry Jessie, what a horrible thing to happen to anyone and hearing them calling for the ones who didn't make tops it all , I am heartbroken for the families who lost someone and for the ones who have to deal with all the arpfter math of this storm !!!! I am not a prayer but I will be saying a prayer for everyone today !!! PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL !!!!!!!!
It’s so heartbreaking to see all the devastation these tornadoes did to our community. The lives that are gone is the most devastating. It truly puts things in perspective when you see all they did so quickly. You are right our community will and has pulled together to help our neighbors in need. That day it didn’t look like we were going to have all this happen it started raining and the wind started blowing and the warnings started going off. I believe the news said it was 3 tornadoes and winds speed of 150 miles. EF-3 God Bless everyone affected and God Bless our town. So glad you and your family are safe. ❤
What a tragedy! Such devastation. I feel deeply for those people who lost family and their homes. I’m sorry for the loss of your you tube home Jess. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ❤️
My husband medically retired in 2019 and we moved back home. Our old neighborhood here was hit very hard as well. We had friends from our church get hit with the tornado in early 2018 but nothing as bad as this one. Sending prayers for the entire community. I wish we were still there to help 😢🙏🏼
Praying for your town. I live in NC and the same storm system produced a tornado, it hit the neighborhood across the street from the neighborhood I used to live in, no one was hurt or killed but 4 families lost their homes.
It is so heart breaking. I’m bawling like a baby watching this as if I haven’t seen it all first hand. It has been truly devastating and life changing. I pray that you have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the break!
Jessi, I am so sorry. I am glad your family is safe! I can’t imagine the grief in your community right now. How very scary and devastating to go through that. Tornadoes are not common where I live, but one of my sons is currently living in Indiana and they had to take shelter a few weeks ago for a tornado warning. I pray you all find comfort.
The footage at the end is so heartbreaking, Prayers for all the families, thankful that you and your family are ok , Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎁🎄
Oh my, it's so hard to watch & my heart goes out to the families that lost loved ones. It's hard to see your home destroyed but devastating for a lives to be lost. I just sat here & cried. I went through a hurricane, but like you, there was more damage to other areas of my town than right were we lived. Prayers for everyone.
That was really difficult to watch. My heart and prayers go out to all who were affected. I'm glad you and your family are safe.
Yes, thank you
Omg how devastating! So sorry for those families. Glad to hear you guys are okay. Happy holidays!

The most terrifying part is there was no storm. It was a gloomy day but not storming at all. It just came out of absolutely nowhere.
Can you pls yell me where you got your Christmas tree. I love it. Also the throws on your sofa. 👍
Thank you for your videos really enjoy them.☺️
My tree is from Hobby lobby 8 years ago lol my blankets are from Sam’s Club!
My dear friend Patrick lives in that neighborhood breaks my heart 😢
Let me know if him or his family need anything! 🩷
So hard to watch the devastation from the tornado. Praying for the community. I remember your old house and so sad to see it completely destroyed.

I’m so glad he’s ok. It’s absolutely crazy how tornadoes work. Literally homes completely gone while others virtually untouched!
That footage broke my heart, my thoughts and prayers are with the families. I know seeing your old house was heart breaking for you. 😢💔

I will pray for the families affected by the tornado...

That was so sad. 😢
Praying for all those affected by the devastating tornado!
Thank you!
The tornado footage is absolutely terrifying. I live in Hendersonville and the tornado missed my house by less than a mile. I have never felt so blessed and grateful in my life. My thoughts and prayers are and have been with the victims of this disaster.
It missed us by 2 miles! So thankful! I’m glad you were spared as well! 🩷
I am so glad you and your family are safe! That is so sad and surreal to see your old house. I will be keeping your community in my prayers. ❤
Thank you so much!
