NBC News’ Morgan Chesky speaks to a family hit hard in Autauga County sharing how their home was destroyed and the relief they felt as their children who were at school made it home.

#Alabama #Tornado #Weather
Climate is bad and it will get worst going forward.
probably Trump voters, too bad, if God loved them they wouldn’t be in that situation.
Follow , ” Ryan Hall Y’all ” excellent weather YT channel
Absolutely love Ryan!
He’d been warning about a possible tornado for the past week.
Should build large, secure basements under all homes, kitted out with supplies/food/water etc to live in, until they can rebuild. Should be a State law.
Many of these people live in trailer homes. Trailer warranties are usually void if you put them on a basement and some insurance companies won’t cover them on a basement. Definitely need a better design so they can be on basements.
With trailers, you can pour concrete slab or footers and put the anchors in that, but then it’s a jackhammer to move them. Besides that, many get blown apart by tornadoes, not blown over. Since they have been making windows to withstand weather for years, it’s past time to make trailers the same.
As somebody else said, you can’t have basements even for stick built houses in some areas due to water table and/or soil like sand.
FEMA pays renters well and puts them up in hotels or temporary housing. Treated much better than owners especially if you work. Sadly, in many depresssd areas, even people who work hard can’t pay homeowners insurance premiums now. Then you’re really screwed by FEMA.
The Red Cross does far more to help people in disaster areas than any other
@Spank Themonkey Yeah it’s like they think if we just make all of our societal problems it legal they all magically disappear.
Lmao you can’t put basements, the water table is too high
@American BulldogI wonder if you are that passionate about the lives lost in California 🤔
How? Southern states have high water tables except in areas near the piedmont or mountain regions. We hit water after only a few feet.
Gov Ivey found out how much she needed a president who happens to be a Democrat. Shame on Ivey for her bs toward non-republican AMERICANS. The GOP is on a hate mission that will hopefully eat them alive.
Omg
rebuild after rebuild why these people still want to live in a place prone to tornadoes…
@Troye Sivan I am heartless. Utterly pathetic that they can’t handle a basic rain storm, but they deserve everything bad that happens to them. Worst people in the entire u.s. and that is saying something.
@Smoked beef and cheese Truth! While tornadoes can destroy a house, usually stick built houses fare much better than trailers, which many live in.
The prices on new doublewides are very high now too, but still not as high as most houses with basements.
Sadly, most trailer warranties are void if you put them on a basement and even some insurance companies won’t cover them on basements. There should be a fix for that imo.
@Blake The great one I hope your house floods with 6ft of water, with comments like that you deserve it.
@OrangeFluffyCat lmao. I can deal with that despite the fact it’s unrealistic. Californians are pathetic and I can actually deal with rain. It’s called proper prior planning.
Okay by that logic no one can live in the entire US as we have the most violent weather literally of most countries. Even the desert South West hhas droughts and sand storms. Name your state and pick which disaster you prefer.
the atmosphere is just getting started. we didn’t evolve fast enough to out pace our rate of defecation in our own bed
You think this is the big bad global warming? Aka the natural cycle of the earths climate as we move around the sun. Also you would be interested in Haarp and weather warfare.
@Michael Satterfield Global warming what is this 1982. It’s climate change buddy. And guess what the climate is changing and whether you like it or not it is having these are facts.
@Michael Satterfield plenty of data showing it’s been accelerating at an unprecedented rate.
Likely causation > tinfoil hat theory
@jake thomas plenty of data also shows that this happens all the time and co2 has been at dramatically larger levels throughout history.
@Smoked beef and cheese I use the term global warming because it points out that y’all have no idea what you’re talking about.
🌬🌧Thanks for Reporting this Miracle from GOD👑🌿Will share🌿
Amen! God bless you!
Heavenly Father please help rebuild Selma Alabama please I pray in Jesus Christ of Nazareth name amen 🙏 amen Hallelujah thanks Jesus Christ!
Move. It’s only going to get worse.
I like “Pure” Michigan; I think the Great Lakes may buffer us from the worst Climate Change effects.
Poor people don’t have the means to move.
PELOSI AND THE DEMONCRAPS HAVE DEMANDED AN IMMEDIATE FBI RAID OF BIDENS HOMES AND OFFICES, my bad, the want them to again raid Trumps places and blame him for setting up biden at his secured garage
I smell commies manipulating the weather.
Democrats say if we pay them lots and lots of money, this wouldn’t happen.
So wait a minute. There was two adults, five children, four dogs and they were still other kids at school. Yeah I’m sure that house is a zoo
And what is your point
They screwed the story up so bad but I mean it is confusing😂😂
I’m sick of the South. Let them suffer. God’s just clearing out real estate for people who can read and write.
This is really sad.
My apologies but I find it difficult to help people whom if given a chance would killed my family and I. They will get no help from me.
@JOgIrL83 oh yeah…I almost forgot…your white hood is showing 🤡
Reaching like Jordan in Space Jam
You really need to go get that traumatic brain injury checked out.
@Lucky 😂😂😂👍👍
You don’t have any idea who lives in those trailers or who lives anywhere. And judging a whole swath of the country based on one element in it. It seems like you’re painting with just as broad brush as your enemies
God have mercy Jesus loves you we just happen to live in a fallen world
Amen.
We live in a fallen world.
But we stand AGAINST it because we LIVE in God through the Lord Jesus amen
@Roy Hemionhe’s the same thing as an absentee dad 😂
@Sugar Xyler the Cherokee ah!
But Hes not!
Just because you and most people can’t see Him doesn’t mean He ain’t there.
God reveals Himself to those who seek Him out.
Hes God. He chooses who He reveals Himself to.
But those who actually seek know what I am saying.
Those who seek Him out with all their hearts and minds and strength do so from their hearts and not their egos (minds).
Buy for many, seeking God is the very last thing they will do.
When one “Finds” God in their own heart through faith, JOY is replaced by pure spiritual bliss the second God sends his Holy Spirit to you through HIS grace, by YOUR Faith! The Holy Ghost comes from above Literally and falls down upon and around the individual who is counted as righteous in Gods eyes and feels like a sheet of energy and pure love. Every hair stands up, you feel electrified and more than content. You feel the Holy spirit and you hear the holy spirit! Others “see” the Holy Ghost IN the true believer who all of a sudden becomes a TRUE KNOWER of God! That is How it happens. That is How It happened to me, and I never looked back. God is here. He truly is omnipresent. He saved me, he saved my life, and I showed others the power of God almighty who’s Holy Spirit is very active in these days……For reasons that are biblical in scale and proportions. These days ARE those days prophesied millennia ago….If you have no idea of what I speak in any of it, you need to pray. Pray until you get Gods answer…His Holy Ghost. Jesus is the door. Faith is the door way. The room behind that door is God. The space you step into is the Holy spirit. Once in, the door is sealed forever. Salvation is a literal happening. Being reborn is literal and means receiving His Holy Holy Holy spirit (ghost) literally IN YOUR OWN Flesh.
Believe in Him and receive Him. Seek and you shall find. KNOCK and He will be opened unto you,
Verily verily seek with all your heart and mind and strength.
God bless.
You’re praying to Jesus😱A man!! A Messenger
Why don’t you pray to God
That’s what Jesus did is pray to God
Never claimed to be, God never asked anyone to worship him
You obviously do not know the Bible.
Jesus is better than God. Jesus healed the blind God killed everybody. And he probably did it multiple times. I would trust Jesus over God
So God is evil and Jesus is the one to put him in check? That’s what Jesus was worried about ignorance drags ignorance, brother. You’re a victim over twisted history. Jesus was a great prophet in the messenger and it’s just like the media and politicians today, they lie to you to get recognized
Jesus straight up, told us to seek the truth and it shall free us. Apparently he told us about the final messenger with the final revelation, which is the Quran read that that shall free you and bring you to peace and everything all the sudden will start making sense.
Don’t be told what you should believe through the research yourself are used to be Christian it lead me to Islam
Oh I know the Bible more than you do I used to be Christian I studied the Bible did not find the answers I need so I read the Quran and guess what you didn’t
I hope one hits my house.
Careful what you wish for 😱
@Bleu Jay lol. Tornadoes don’t scare me.
💪💪
@Bleu Jay I’ve been hit by 3 in my life already. One of which was the may 3rd in Oklahoma. And now I have a cellar that is stocked.
@Blake The great one 😂 Same
PRAYERS 4 ALL!! SO GLAD UR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED BY BEING PROTECTED!!
Real news will no longer do business with Wells Fargo they are run by idiots go woke go broke
Our father God Almighty
Who art in heaven
Blessed be these families effected by this horrific event
God’s kingdom come
God’s will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us for our trespasses as we forgive those who have TRESPASSED against us yet lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For this is Gods kingdom and glory now and forever.
Thanks be to God in Jesus Christ.
Glory to God👏🏽Yes Jesus saves👏🏽🥰
He saved ME!
@Roy Hemion Saved you from reality 😂
@Sugar Xyler the Cherokee No.
He actually saved me.
Reality? Do you know what reality is?
No you don’t! You only know the things you personally experienced.
Bible says don’t be just a hearer of the word but he a DOER of it.
Are you a LISTENER? Or are you a doer?
Glory to God who reveals Himself through His word, through faith and prayer.
I am married to God through His word.

This guy uploaded a video last week saying this will happen but I didn’t see anything in the new about it
Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments 📖 John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments
Brazy
Exactly why I’d never live in any of these states. No major weather issues ever happen where I live.
And where is that? I’m starting to get tired of Florida weather as I get older
Get ready buddy because the climate she is a changing
Just wait.
@jake thomas North Carolina.
Its funny, when biden screws up you guys focus on the weather.
Except it’s not home anymore
How many people died? Because if one died, your god is a monster.
Alabama? Omg… this world is definitely different.
Trailer = tornado magnet
It wasn’t a trailer
The Bible Belt is feeling god’s love. 😂😀😳
“For your own safety,” yeah we heard that during COVID, COVID taught me to never listen to officials cause they just wanna control ppl
Get a clue. I drive trucks for a living. If you stop overnight in Selma, you’d better have a good padlock on your trailer. Whether you park in a truck stop or not, it doesn’t matter. The whole place is one small business after another either shuttered or on life support. There’s only one reason.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why do not ever rebuild with storm resistant dome and earthship homes? much cheaper too. But they keep doing the same over and over. I don’t get it.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!! Despite the recession, I’m so happy withdrawing my $94k profits out of my investment with a platform in town
For he’s on Telegram app , but you have to tell him I referred you, so he can get to your message fast 👇👇
@Roberte48
Robert is that man that is guaranteed to make you that life changing money. I’m super bullish and 💯 believe in his skills.
I had interest in investing in Forex/crypto but I was discouraged by friends and family, I was being ignorant though
@Davide Scott Exactly!that’s definitely ignorant, there are good markets to invest in and earn profits of your investment
The south gets tornados this time of year unfortunately.
Hand build home uummmh
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
