    I'm so sorry. I've been to 28 states and Iowa has the kindest people I've ever met.

    This is horrible, every week there is a tornado or flooding damaging somewhere. This would be a good time to stock up on some extra canned food & water

    I know its scary and devastating but the reality of this whole situation is common sense for people is clean up and rebuild like it never happened. This is why destruction is sweeping across the world because of the lack of education on the seriousness of global climate change and what is actually fueling the escalating effects around the world. It is the human activity and the competitiveness to make money in this world that created all this destruction. Capitalism and economic slavery putting cost on living is what keeps all this destruction continuing to get worse. Humanity is on a dangerous path and covering up the evidence to keep the economy moving is contributing to a post apocalyptic future. It is already happening and there is no solution without world cooperation.

    It must be terrifying to go through something like that, those poor people ๐Ÿ˜ง
  • Greenfield's name added to the sad litany of places torn to pieces by ferocious tornadoes, like Mayfield KY, Greensburg KS and Joplin Mo among so many others
  • My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the community of Greenfield ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป The devastation is unimaginable. My condolences to all who lost loved ones. ๐Ÿ˜”โœ
