@@ImSrry4BeingWhite True, but saying that thought doesn't make anybody feel any better, now does it?
I saw this Tornado live while watching a livestream chase. My continued thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost loved ones and for those who lost their homes and businesses.
I love how the media is just running with "EF-3" for its headlines. EF-3 damage does not look like that. All walls collapsed, slabbed foundations, debarked trees etc. is not necessarily indicative of EF-5 damage, but it is most certainly EF-4. The NWS is just so conservative these days because they're retooling the scale. Dr. Fujita himself probably would've immediately classified this as F5 back in the day. Obv we know more now, but it's just frustrating.
Agreed, absolutely no way this isn’t EF4, and EF5 could be possible, but I feel like they’ve become incredibly strict on rating Tornadoes EF5 lately
Absolutely. Crazy to think its been 11 years since the last EF-5..
and they never speak on weathermodification !!!!!!👎👎😠😠😠😠😠😠
The NWS survey team was in the area. EF 3 may just be a preliminary rating meaning all the damage is at LEAST consistent with winds that occur at the level of EF 3. A second survey would assess more damaged areas that would indicate damage being more consistent to higher winds. A manufactured home can be pulverized in an EF1 They look at how well the house was constructed and whether walls were bolted to foundations or simply nailed to footers. There's a lot of construction variables. During boom times especially post WWII, housing tracts were quickly slapped together with minimal building codes. Once a roof is ripped away by winds, poorly constructed structures will collapse in lesser wind speeds than a more sturdy structure whose walls may still be standing with the roof missing because they were anchored to the foundation better. A trailer park with all manufactured homes set on a base of cinder blocks on a pad, would be obliterated by an EF2 EF3 because if the thin and cheap materials they are made with. They have to be within a certain weight to trailer them on the highways so thinner and lighter materials are used. . Standard in a stick built house is 2 x 4s and 2 x 6s. You'd be pressed to find a manufacturered trailer home with more than a 2 x 3" wall stud. Again, there are many factors going into giving a rating. Doesn't need to be an EF 5 to blow down a bunch of cheap poorly built houses. Housing tracts of the 1960s brings to mind the song "Little Boxes" by Pete Seeger.
Been upgraded to EF-4 6 hrs ago-- Prayers for all🙏🙏🙏🙏
Living through this economy has completely crippled the middle class. God bless the people fund raising to help these familys. We have a chance of tornadoes this Sunday and i dont know what we will do if we lose everything. Pray for our country my fellow Americans. We can survive and thrive when we come together as one.
shout out to @ryanhallyall and the Y’all Squad over$400,000 raised on his channel to directly and immediately benefit people impacted!! #ryanhallyall
FEMA better come through promptly for these folks!
I think they got here today
I am so sorry for your loss.
Modern news all emotions and few facts. How many wind turbines were lost in this one tornado? How many businesses? How many homes? How many wind turbines have been lost to weather this year?
Prayers to those affected
What a wonderful loving sister!
There's nowhere in Idaho that's 2200 miles from Greenfield.
The Greenfield, Iowa tornado was rated an EF-4 with estimated wind speeds of 175 mph - 185 mph.
Date 5/21/2024
Time (Local) 2:57-3:43 pm
EF Rating EF-4
Est. Peak Winds 175-185 mph
Path Length ~44 mph
Max Width 1000 yds
Yeah, this was definitely an EF4 or better.
NWS says preliminary findings. Path 44 miles. That was traveling quite some distance before it cut a few blocks wide path through the SE corner of Greenfield. News makes it sound like the entire town of Greenfield was wiped off the map. Width is 1000 yards most of Greenfield was unscathed. The governor declared it a disaster area so Adair County EMS and FEMA will come with assistance to haul off the debris and clear streets and get electricity restored and set up housing and funding so people can rebuild their homes or set another single-wide or double-wide manufactured home back on pads they were on existed before the tornado hit
Horror. Just plain down right terror. And the aftermath? God help them all.
I can't fathom the feelings they have.
A MANN DAA
Gosh I'm glad thier Okey your lucky to be alive this monster tornado so sad to watch its getting worse all the time f 3 gosh
So sad for the neighborhood. Good that all of Greenfield wasn't affected.. i crated my pets in tmy basement to keep them from bolting like that in severe weather
I wish there was a facility where we could send lots of household stuff, and victims could go get supplies and furniture, Etc, etc . We love you guys stay strong.
So many people in the Southern ad Midwest states telling encounters in the harrowing midst of the tornado directly at their houses and their stupid dogs run upstairs into the storm and put their owners lives at risk! So frustrating to hear these stories of stupid dogs.

Why do they call her brother "Amanda?"
Amanda is a girl
Are you aware women can have short hair and look different? I don't know much else about this person but I'm aware of women who prefer short hair including my own grandmother who looked similar to this most of her life.
Regardless, try to be concerned with something else, like fuckin maybe... the fact that people lost everything in this town?
I get it.
It's hard to take Amanda seriously. I'm sorry. But it's just a fact. Maybe we'll get used to it as time passes.
Looks like a nuclear bomb fell in there. I feel sad.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
No tornadoes in the mountains.
Jesus is the truth life and only way.
Not true. Google tornadoes in mountains. Latest was a hiker filmed on in Pikes Peak CO July 2023
Hey FOX make your banner smaller and put it at the top of the page , don’t leave it up for the entire video so we can actually SEE what the news is. ABOUT I could edit your videos better than that!

THE ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANITY IS TO REPENT TO JESÚS TODAY AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AS YOURSELF AMÉN ❤
God is going to send greater judgment if you don't repent.
notice how angrily the kid was pushed out of the view of the camera by the unloving narcissist -- unreal spooky person.
