  • Reed Timmer a storm chaser spotted the tornado on the ground and notified the weather service. They weren't aware of the tornado!!!! He saw and taped the tornado ripping houses apart. It wasn't until AFTER he reported it that they set the sirens.

    I was watching Reed Timmer’s livestream of this tornado. It formed so quickly, the residents had little to no time to take shelter.

    So sad to see the destruction of tornados. May God bless these people going forward.

    Your a Brave Soul honey..don't give up stay strong...it will be alright😘🙏
  • Max Velocity was reporting on this tornado last night and was warning people that it was heading their way so I don’t understand why they aren’t sounding the alarms earlier then they are
  • ....why are they not SOUNDING the Sirens AHEAD OF TIME ??? THATS THE PURPOSE OF THE SIRENS. WOW. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Excuses about the Sirens... REED TIMMER SAW THIS AHEAD OF TIME, AS DID MAX VELOCITY. WHY arent these Individuals responsible for the Surens WATCHING THESE CHANNELS, NOT JUST RELYING ON " The National Weather Service ", who DID NOT EVEN KNOW about this Tornado !

    Just one of those small towns. Someplace people want to live. Quiet and uncomplicated. I feel bad for the people. Lately it jut seems that the world has gone nuts.

    These small mid west communities are almost built better to handle this than city folks trucks tractors hard working people
