#Tornado #Texas #Weather
🙏💙😓💔
We all know that the CIA Government mind control program caused all the mass shootings in America but we just don’t bring them to justice
This is terrible my prayers are with everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏
god is great?
It’d be cool if churches actually paid taxes to help with the relief efforts.
But prayers work too I guess.
Tots n pears doesn’t pay for repairs.
God is not Great, Christopher Hitchens
USA would rather send more financial aid to Ukraine than to its own citizens. 🤬
I wish them nothing.
The same to you sweetheart.
Climate change doesn’t need a wish.
I wish them nothing
Wishing is for fools who are lost in touch with reality.
prayer = wishing to a genie
Move to Texas they say 🤣🤷♂️🤣
The oil fields in Texas are drying up 😢
God loves ❤️ Texas 🌪 🌪…
@Gerald Boykin OK 👍
Then why all the killing?
@Frank Rivera : Get to know Him, it is awesome!!!
@Patrick Walsh some christian need to blame Governor Abbott since they believe God takes care of the evil people & the republican party
Texas isn’t a tourist state anymore. it’s a political disaster 🙄
God loves ❤️ Nebraska too 🌪 🌪…..
They are using their weather toys to shake up texas to make them vulnerable to take their GUNS AND INDEPENDENTS
Seeing this makes me realize that my life problems are so insignificant.
Everyone’s is
@Mark Pilkanis yeah the thunder and lighting was definitely loud last night
@MannyAguilarJr But you made it, that is important.
The world is changing.
The CIA Government mind control program caused all the mass shootings in America but we just don’t bring them to justice
It will always.. before your born and after your dead and gone. Nothing stays the same and nothing last forever. So cherish your life everyday.
@Elle I’m extremely grateful for everything in my life.
There’s always been tornadoes 🌪
Yay
forget about the thoughts and prayers, both have proven to be hypocritical bs.
Need to stop building homes out of cardboard. Sorry to the victims
Laguna Heights is a very poor section of the county, ironically, it’s but a few miles from the multi-million dollar vacation destination of South Padre Island.
Agreed!
I live in the same county as Laguna Heights & never even received a tornado warning. The storm was violent & woke everyone up, but it must have developed too quick.
@Lori No, because tornadoes can change direction and even go backwards, although it’s unusual. If there’s a tornado in your county, the alerts go out. If there’s a tornado near your county, alerts go out. This is how it works in Tornado Alley, or at least in the north Texas part.
@Ken Martin Once again, the WARNING comes after a tornado has been CONFIRMED. A WATCH should have been put out if conditions were right, but there are situations where the weather develops very quickly, and there really isn’t time between “the weather being right” and a tornado forming. I understand that tornadoes are rare in the area. I’m sure “severe thunderstorm” doesn’t carry quite the same latent subtext with it for y’all down there.
@IzzyKawaiichi My county, in Texas, is 841 miles and we’d don’t get the warning, or sirens, for our city if it’s on the other side and not headed toward us. Only those cities affected within the county do…
@Lori My county is 902 square miles, and we always get the alerts– because, again, these things can change direction. The only reason we wouldn’t get a warning is if the storm system has already passed us since they are usually moving west to east.
الله اكبر ولله الحمد
Y’all can have the thoughts and prayers you sent out to all the kids that were shot in Texas recently, Let me know how well it helps.
Cancun looks nice this time of the year.
If you can get past the Cartel 😂
If the shooters don’t get you in tx, the twisters will!
I thought it was a lovely serenade of thunders and rain drops, like something out of the phantom of the opera
Sheesh 😮💨
I wouldn’t send Greg Abbott anyting no emergency relief get it from Florida
That Texas tornado was an F1 and it did that much damage?
It has to be higher than a. F1
F1?
NO emergency funding! republicans don’t want wasteful spending!
The most High Yah is showing His hand this Nation needs to repent or more destruction is to come All Praises To The Most High Yah HalleluYah.
We all know that the CIA Government mind control program caused all the mass shootings in America but we just don’t bring them to justice.
It wasn’t mother nature!
Work from 2 – 3 hours / day – Earn $6,000-15,000. Moreover, the implementation of telework was one of the measures highly recommended or imposed by government institutions, which had to be accepted by employees and employers through agreements as a measure of maintaining an important part of the human capital and an opportunity to implement new informational communication technologies.
Msg for deets. Current folks are KILLIN it!!!!!
Area out near Kirby and Mico has been in drought condition, but so much “relief” at once causes problems too.
I’m sure their governor will use some of the money he’s using to bus illegals to other states to help his people.
Nik airball is a piece of shyt
Timestamp 0:08 “Mustang!” LOL, I would be more concerned about the house.
After Abbott again dumped hispanic migrants in D.C. thoughts and prayers and nothing else. The whole state is trash.
Did you watch the same video ?
Texas is the new California
EF1???? Uh I don’t think so. 2-3 at least 😮
Exactly. EF1’s don’t pick up entire houses unless they were made out of Aluminum lol. That had to be an EF2 at the least.
Thoughts & prayers.
Yeah, thoughts and prayers instead of doing anything actually constructive or practical.
@Rasputin love machine Give them guns
@chipmunktubetop This is Texas. Every single person having at least one functioning limb already has a gun.
To bad it wasn’t closer to the border.
Disrespect Mother Nature. Expect to Suffer😢
Are the people being provided free housing like those entering illegally?
In most states, yes. No idea what they do in texas.
It’s time to repent
GIVING PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, HIS NAME IS YAHWEH OUR CREATOR. IT IS TIME TO SAVE SOULS THRU OUR DAILY DEEDS AND ACTIONS TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS. IN CASES LIKE THIS IT IS BENEVOLENT TO SEND PRAYERS TO THESE PEOPLE INSTEAD WORDS OF DOOM. SINCE YOU ARE WITHOUT SINS.. .ENCOURAGE ALL HUMANITY WITH YOUR KIND WORDS.
BLESSINGS TO ALL MANKIND.
@Alejandra Parker
BEWARE OF THOSE WHO PROFESS DEVOTION TO GOD, THEIR FEIGNED PIETY IS OFTEN THE CAMOUFLAGE FOR THEIR VILENESS AND EVIL.
Love and prayers for them! We are living in the last days! The Bible is playing out right now before our eyes! Jesus is coming soon! Please get saved now! Don’t be left behind! Believe in Jesus Christ! John 3:16, Revelation 20:15, 1 Corrinthians 15 1-4, Romans 10 9 and 10, Ephesians 2 8 and 9 JESUS LOVES YOU!
We’ve been living in the last days over 100 of year
Much Much longer, A couple of thousands
You better get to the border and start washing the feet of some tired poor immigrants. Jesus is at the southern border waiting for your help.
LOL YEAH! THIS is what “all those Californians are moving to texas” for right? LOL NOT!
Texas – home of killer tornadoes and killer mass shooters.
Too many regions to say “there was a tornado in Texas”. I’ve lived in Texas for 66 years, and did not know where Laguna Heights is. It’s in South Texas – at the very southernmost tip of the state. Very rare to have tornadoes in that region. ⭐
@alienandroid2012 Port Isabel and South Padre Island. Yep. My hometown.
@alienandroid2012 IT IS NOT NEXT TO PADRE ISLAND IT IS IN BETWEEN PORT ISABEL AND LAGUNA VISTA.
MY MA MARIA LIVED IN THAT BROWN BRICK HOME ON WILSON STREET UNTIL HER DEATH 3 YEARS AGO.
@Alejandra Parker you’re right. All next to South padre island
@NightOwL News&Videos. That’s why I took a geography class as an elective in college. I still keep my Goode’s World Atlas within arm’s length. I highly recommend it. 🌎 📙
Where is that? I am sorry… Where is that?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💐💐💐🇺🇸🌸I have spent most of my life in texas, and I do not recognize most of those names/words.
I’m wondering the same thing
EF1 tornadoes don’t plow over houses.
God must not like something they’re doing 🤔😂
Wow! When you hear it’s an EF1, you think it’s not going to be that bad. But that did some damage!
I bet it’s re-evaluated. Unless they were trailer/mobile homes…you do not see homes ripped off their foundation with an F1. They will call it whatever wind speed because of that they captured with whatever equipment no matter how far away it was.
So it’s not entirely accurate . Often the NWS will go into an area with extensive damage and then look at that damage because you see certain damage to decide strength with certain speed. Homes ripped off their foundation is F4 (crappy homes) & F5 (well built homes) category. F1 damage is roof damage, cars moved, mobile homes tipped over.
An example of that was Joplin. They measured the wind speed 60 miles away thus they originally stated it was an F3. It was F3 for a portion, but it eventually became a massive F5. Debarking trees, moving a huge hospital onl it’s foundation slightly, turning Home Depot into a tinker toy set, sucking people out of their cars, obliterating entire neighborhoods, blowing things 200 miles, & killing over 150 people…. is way more than F3 worthy.
Red states are getting hammered these days.
Praying for this whole state
The Valley of Decisions
No doubt that the oppressed of the world by the US and its illegal sanctions must be pleased to see tornadoes and other natural disasters occur in the US and pray for more.
EF-1 isn’t a powerful tornado, per say.
I’m thinking EF2, especially when cars and entire trailers were tossed around.
The video says otherwise remember those houses may not be built for EF one tornado.
@easybhomes are not destroyed in an F1 unless they are mobile homes. Even in an F1 mobile homes are typically just moved around or tipped over, not obliterated.
If they have a foundation, even if it’s a crappy homes, it will not become obliterated at 110 mph wind speed. To pull homes off their foundation you need approximately 200 mph.
They will change the wind speed determination. I can guarantee it.
The city has only about 3000 people living there. They are not going to have the NWS wind speed equipment, thus it was measured miles away. NWS will go into the damage and re-determine.
If all we need was 110 wind speed to destroy homes, derechos would be the most damaging weather related phenomenon we have. Instead they just break trees, move garbage cans to the next neighborhood, destroy trampolines and mess up vehicles paint jobs.

Did Abbott blame the illegal tornado on the border yet?…😕
Deadly tornado? Wrong video title, how about E F 1 Tornado injures 10 people.
I live 45 minutes away prayers 🙏 it was bad here in willacy county but never thought a tornado in Cameron County
When tornadoes start making it flood lma😂😂😂😂
“Deadly EF1.” Was the person outside????? Not to undermine their death or anything, but…????
i pray that texas disappears in this world amen🙏
They could stack their AR’s up and form new levies…….
Sorry for the victims. I just wonder if their so called leaders (TRASH party) will do anything to help them. God knows they’re shrugging off the mass shootings like it’s something cool or something. May God bless all of the victims of all of the tragedies. 🙏❤️🙏❤️ 😢😢😢😢
This is where I was born and grew up. The area that was hit is a very low income community. Most homes there are either trailers, shacks, or very poorly built. Even the house I grew up in was hit according to one of my friends who still lives in the area! But the people who live there are strong, dedicated, and hard workers. They will bounce back.
One thing I doubt though, that this was an EF1 tornado. The damage looks more consistent with an EF2, especially considering cars and trailers were tossed.
It never ends. Texas stay strong.
Yeah, but they have other issues beyond weather, but I hear what you’re saying
Praying for Texas 🙏🙏🙏
what’s worse than a Texas tornado? a Mexican Sunami 🤣 here they come 💦
Who is mother nature you Godless Heathens
Thank god for godless heathens.
Did they try shooting at it?
Knowing Texas, probably
Sending angels 😇
Nothing to it for that Mustang that’s what needs to happen to Mustangs, such a POS, Fix Or Repair Daily, Driver Returns On Foot!!!
Tax churches. Tots n pears doesn’t pay for repairs.
God hates Texas!
Waking? I hope they were AWAKE.
Soo frustrating
Imagine you have everything and look down on those who have nothing and then this happens to you. 😳 Now you know how it feels to be down and out. Help out now cause you never know when it’ll be your turn.
👏🏼👏🏼♥️
Wonder if the Texas governor will offer thoughts and prayers but do nothing else?
Texas is such messed up state.
My personal theory is God is punishing these states for their hate toward God’s creation.
Fortunately, that’s not a teaching of the church… 🙄
You can keep your useless vengeful God theories to yourself. How about offering some of your “Christian” prayers for their community instead.🤦♀️
GIVING PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM HIS NAME IS YAHWEH. BELOVED, I AM 80 YEARS OLD AND GOD YAHWEH DOESNT PUNISH ANY STATE, IF HE DID THEN WASHINGTON (GOVERNMENT,) NEVADA LAS VEGAS) CALIFORNIA THE WHOLE STATE) WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG GONE. DONT ASSUME WHAT THE CREATOR WILL DO OR NOT DO IT IS NOT YOUR CALLING.
PRAY FOR YOUR DOINGS, YOUR ACTIONS AND LIVE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE THEN WHEN YOU ENTERED IT. BLESSINGS TO ALL MANKIND.
their choice to live there and in homes that are poorly built. gov abbott does care about these things
Yeah let’s all just vacate one of the largest states in the union, cause that’s such a simple solution
I can see why Texans are so frustrated ALL the time
Caused
It’s a tragedy that brings help people to help others humans. Texas has been through some crap with guns and a dysfunctional governor doing nothing about Those Devastating gun events. Nature doesn’t always but guns do. Sorry for ongoing chaos.
This never happened. It’s all fake and they just reused old footage. The crisis actors are acting pretty good though.
Keep that tinfoil hat on, it looks funny
@33y3z4y44 Huh? Don’t make fun of me. I watch Fox news.
Pray for the family
Texas 😅
God bless and help them all recover quickly

Astonishing. Where were the guns? You know those things that blow little children’s heads off? Where were the guns? Guns can fix anything, right? I’m not sorry for one person who owns a gun in Texas and could not stop the storm.
Thoughts and prayers… but this wouldn’t have happened if a good guy with a gun was there.
This kind of thing is bound to happen when you hold tRump rallies near by, actually, it wasn’t a Tornado, it was just a peaceful protest by God…
Love you all so sorry 😢
Don’t expect anyone to help from Republicans…. too busy with …making more ILLEGAL ACCUSATIONS….lol Sorry guys ..lol just sayin😅
Home 🏠 in America is not strong at all. Anything can break it but someone is making money building these weak houses

Let’s hope President Biden deals this over flooding natural disasters during Mother’s day dudes and STILL pray for him doing the 2nd term in office.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎀👩🎤♥️
I wouldn’t necessarily call the tornadoes ” Mother Nature”.
I hope all those affected by this catastrophe will have all the help they need to get back to normal, and not to give up.

Tornadoes are natural. Seems to qualify as mother nature to me
So is this normal it’s time to wake up to what’s happening not just weather related but society in every day living Lord bless those who are in disparity and help us to get on the right path of truth that will set us free from anything that so easily leads us to people you dislike in order that peace arise we must be obedient to you the one who made heaven and earth,… who are we that want to do things our way …..when we do it most times it a set back for a come back to the all wise God 🙏
