Like you said several times, I can’t imagine seeing what you have worked your life for just laying there as a pile of of something so valuable to you but in reality is worth nothing now. My heart is out to everyone effected and I’m glad you made it out okay. amazing video, I’m from ohio and hearing your accent is super soothing to me. Wish I was in a situation where I could load the truck up and head down there and help out where I could. Be careful out there bud!
Thanks for showing the West side of Amory! All of the news outlets ignored that sound of town, but it was hit just as hard. I could recognize a lot of my family's homes.
Every time I see these kind of videos memories just keeps flooding back from all of the EF2 through EF4 tornadoes that I had to be in during my life (especially the EF4 ones). Hopefully all that survived have a quick recovery from their disaster.
Been thru many hurricanes here in Florida, Mother nature can dish out some devastation! Prayers to all. Be Safe out there cleaning that stuff up they have almost more injuries and death in the clean up.
What a massive swath of a tornado. Didn't realize how much dame there is. Thanks for the perspective! Hopefully you can enjoy your I've cream in the future!
My Family lives in Waterloo Al and one of his friends is a river pilot who watched that storm as it moved and was aimed dead center on the town , it hit the cooler river water and it turned and nailed Florence instead . I can not imagine having to dig through a pile of ruble that was your house . I have been through two storms and they are no joke ,and they move fast !!! This storm happened at night which is absolutely the worst time as everybody is inside their homes . Thank you for the video , stay safe and be well .
What a shame to lose all those beautiful old trees at the venue. Must be such a nightmare to live through something like that. RIP to all the victims and condolences to family.
Unbelievable the damage a tornado will cause, I seen a picture online of a car that was about 200ft in the air in the that tornado an it's lights were on, hope to God there was no one in it, lots an lots of work to be done now, years an years of work destroyed in seconds, thanks for sharing Tim, stay safe, 🌲💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌
Man I woke up Saturday morning and seen what happened and just felt absolutely sick to my stomach! All day I thought about just loading up my tractor and going over there to help. I had to be in Jackson Tn. Sunday night and I’m in Tupelo tonight. Praying for all of y’all my man! I heard this evening that Rolling Fork is basically wiped off the map.
So so sad for the people who lost their family members and lifetime assets along with personal things 😢!!!! It’s like you said everything can disappear almost in a blink of a eye…. We had hurricane’s Katrina andRita come through our in East Texas and took 20:53 out a lot houses and timber and I lost large hay barn and equipment shed but all of the neighbors made it okay and no life’s lost which is the most important thing!!!!
My wife had a couple family members lose their life in wren Friday night during the storm. That was a terrible storm. I’ve been working out there since Saturday. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of money for the area to ever recover.
he's doing this walk-through with blue skies and it's so quiet, all you hear is the scrunch-scrunch of his feet - yet imagine what it must've been like when that came through here, couldn't get more opposite. thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.
Rolling Fork took the most damage from that tornado. I would be helping with the clean up efforts but I’m healing from a back injury. I didn’t realize how close you are to me. I’m down from the Jackson area
1. The wedding venue would be the lest of my concerns, I know the guy wants to get back to making money. But there are more important things to be taken care of. Remember 25 people lost there lives. 2. I feel for the people of Amory, however the destruction there pails in comparison to what occurred in Rolling Fork and Silver City. Most of the residents of these town do not have anything to put a blue tarp on. You see a lot of concrete slabs with nothing on them in Rolling Fork. I took a pallet of water to Rolling Fork yesterday and the pictures just do not give the scope of destruction. 3. Prayers to all that were affected.
I remember the night it happened as I live in smithville, once it went past smithville my family were one of the first responders who went out we were out there from about 12-1 AM until about 4-6 AM doing SAR and cleanup. It was just a wow to see first hand sad but spooky at the same time. I appreciate seeing it during the day time as you can’t see it during the night well I got more information from you then I did from being there night it happened.
I appreciate this video of Amory and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a video in the air above the land where the tornado went through and it is so sad
So much devastation. The morning of the F-5 tornado outbreak in 2011, my mom's neighborhood in Vestavia, was hit by an F-1. She lost 4 huge old oak trees in her backyard right before it lifted back up. Luckily, they fell right between her house and my dad's old workshop at the edge of the property.
Pretty sure most if not all of them upcoming things planned is not going to happen because it devastated the city, so a wedding just doesn't make any since when you have nothing to even go home too. Going to take years for this community as Rolling Fork to recover!! God Bless
The business next to the chip mill is Watco (my husband works there) the domes hold the material they unload from barges and ship out. So sad to see all the damage left behind. My heart breaks for everyone. Love and prayers for everyone!!
As bad as this is, (and I feel and am praying for them) in comparison to Rolling Fork, this town got off easy. You can at least identify buildings and homes. Rolling Fork looks like a 💣 bomb went off. I'm not even sure how you can begin to dispose of all those trashed homes, buildings, businesses, cars, semi-trucks, all tangled with trees, wires and the like. It's truly a miracle anyone survived. I can't even begin to comprehend the unseen mental damage this has done to both towns. If I lived in Rolling Fork, I would take my insurance money and rebuild somewhere you don't have to deal with 🌪 tornadoes.
I remember being about that same age when a storm knocked a tree down on my great grandma’s house and ruined it. Part of the stump and trunk from it laid there for years as well.
I grew up in Steens...survived the '74 Super Outbreak and countless other tornadoes... I now live in Australia, I DON'T miss the bad weather in Lowndes County
Just a guess, but I have seen domes like that in cities around here. Usually they are covering the concrete pools at a sewage and waste water treatment plant. Or it could be to treat water from the mill from some kind of process. Sometimes they are used to contain and capture methane gas.
Watco (Port of Amory) handles bulk ores, petcoke (petroleum coke), steel , lumber, fertilizer and rock. The storage domes are used for keeping products dry and reducing the amount of dust that is blown around.
prayers ,and thoughts for all the people affected,I do believe There should be more research into sturdy homes either underground or heavy duty homes to with stand tornados ,also artificial hills to slow down ,and deflect the wind.!
Cotontop I don’t know how you do what you do with all those trees and I know it’s not going to be done in one day because that’s a lot of trees God Bless you and be careful
All that compression and wires! If you get this job let us know what kind of metal detector you use? Glad you are safe. How do you get around? Tell the officials you do tree work?
Man those huge trees with all those extended limbs are soooo dangerous to work up. Cut the wrong limb and the whole thing can roll over on you. Years ago one of our family friends was logging and cutting timber and that very thing happened to him. Cut a limb and the tree rolled , knocked him down and crushed his head. Wonder if they could be worked up from the top down using your lift?
If they cancel there Wedding Plans I could understand. With the insurance on his place will pay for repairs plus loss rental for the weddings. With this much damage It will take time for his to get it back up running. I sure hate it for the man but I am praying for him.
As far as the wedding venues and non-essential businesses that support the absolute needs for living, I have little care for them. Their insurance will pay premium payouts to remove, rebuild, replace all things. Those that have weddings and proms scheduled can either relocate, postpone, or embrace the events of their time and include the wrath of mother nature. Each to their own but the real concern lies with those that had loved ones killed, their homes destroyed and are displaced. They come first and foremost.
From Wikipedia: Kinder Morgan Inc owns or operates petroleum product, natural gas, and carbon dioxide pipelines, related storage facilities, terminals, power plants and retail natural gas in the United States and Canada. (Those large domes might be for storing raw oil or natural gas.)
I wish that the ones who have never seen damage like this could, it would change the way you view something’s. After working on site in Amory just minutes after the tornado hit, I’m proud of country coming together to help each other in this difficult time. If people like Jerry would pull their heads out of their ass and stop the negativity, they might see what is really happening here with all people coming together. Sorry for the rant on some Tim, let me know if you need anything else to help you out in Amory.
Working to arrange my schedule so that I can come and help this week through Samaritans Purse.
Thank you.
I praise God for you! You are awesome!❤

That’s a really nice drone. Thanks for the footage. I went up to rolling fork and gave what supplies I could.
That is good and I’m sure they appreciate it 👍🏻
Thanks for showing the West side of Amory! All of the news outlets ignored that sound of town, but it was hit just as hard. I could recognize a lot of my family's homes.
No doubt!
The awesome unforgiving power of nature… my heart goes out to everyone affected by this terrible event.

Thanks for putting this together Tim. I can’t imagine what everyone is going through there. Sending prayers to the folks affected.
That owner needs you. Someone with less experience is liable to get hurt. I hate seeing devastation like that.Thanks for taking us along.

Every tree that fell was a spirit attached to it from hanging a black man or child or woman

@cotontop3 my heart dropped when i saw these violent tornadoes plowing right through amory and rolling fork.

Thanks for the drone video of the horrible results of the tornado. Stay safe taters. You should be busy for long time.
Thanks, you too!

This is the most powerful and destructive tornado ever I have known.Thank for helping us🙏🙏
You are very welcome
I remember seeing the chip Mill when we were bringing that houseboat from Kentucky to Tuscaloosa
We live about a mile from the high school. It dropped an oak tree on our house at exactly 10:56 pm. Friday night 😢
Best video of the damage that I have seen so far. Thank you for posting this.
I grew up in Steens...survived the '74 Super Outbreak and countless other tornadoes...
I now live in Australia, I DON'T miss the bad weather in Lowndes County
I bet you don't know Randy Ellis he's from the Jackson area and has his own tree service and is one hell of a great guy!
Its called the Dairy Kreme my friend. Eaten there so many times myself.
Just a guess, but I have seen domes like that in cities around here. Usually they are covering the concrete pools at a sewage and waste water treatment plant. Or it could be to treat water from the mill from some kind of process. Sometimes they are used to contain and capture methane gas.
If I could I would pack up the truck and come great video thanks you Tim for whatever you can do
Thanks 👍
Rolling Fork and Silver City got hit the hardest just in case anyone wants to help.

What drone are you using. Love the range on it. Prayers for everyone affected. Mississippians are known to fight & come back stong.

Cotontop I don’t know how you do what you do with all those trees and I know it’s not going to be done in one day because that’s a lot of trees God Bless you and be careful
