    this was the last thing my family heard from the storm shelter right beside the tv, then our power shut out and the pressure of the tornado was felt, and we heard glass shatter and everything. we were praying so much and we are so grateful we are alive. our truck is destroyed and we will have to move in an airbnb for a few months until they fix our backyard and roof but we are so grateful to be alive. thank you matt lauhban for everything you do for us in this area. UPDATES: me and my sister are staying at our great aunt’s house while our parents stay home and sort everything out. there are no airbnbs left and so we will be in a camper out on our property for a little while until the damage is fixed. a lot of the upstairs will be replaced, my father is a veteran and so we thankfully have great people backing us up, shouldn’t take all too long to get back on our feet.

My grandmother survived genocide in Yugoslavia, lived a life of selflessness, went to church every week and had more faith than I ever have and she died in a house fire when she was 92, just hours after my mother-in-law died peacefully in her sleep. That was a real crap pile of a day. Life really sucks sometimes and unfortunately no one is immune to tragedy. I have no answers. I’ve been seeking answers myself. I’ve had other things happen too, even worse than that, that I’m still seeking answers for. I too wish all prayers were answered. I too have struggled with my faith. I just wanted to point out in this instance a man prayed on tv and no one died. Coincidence? I don’t know. Maybe. But I’m very happy no one died in that town. I’m also happy you and your family survived. I’m terribly sorry for the loss of your friends and everything else that tornado did to Joplin. I pray God reveals himself to both of us and strengthens our faith again, soon! Never close the door for good. That’s my wish for you. I hope to see you in heaven some day.

    ​@@derrickrr5516the... well, personal answer i came to is Praying is fine, it can strenghten your spirit, steel your will. But personally i wont expect things to happen just because i prayed for it, better to go and do something about the situation. And despite all that, shitty things can happen to you anyway. It's just how life is. Compared to... well, the great force of a tsunami or an earthquake, we humans are painfully small. All in all, i just dont think much about these things. Just live life to the fullest as much as you can. Thats really about the only thing anyone CAN do.

    I’m a meteorologist and this is, without a doubt, our worst nightmare. In the face of a disaster like this and feeling so powerless to stop it, it doesn’t matter what religion you are or if you’re religious at all, that sort of prayer transcends religion and culture and goes right to your heart. It’s the most sincere form of prayer and the most important. May this gentleman be blessed many times over for the composure and caring he showed in the face of disaster. EDIT: some of y'all in the replies need to learn to behave yourselves. I'm not even slightly religious myself but I can still damn sure appreciate the compassion of prayer shown in the face of uncontrollable disaster. this isn't about christians vs atheists or any other religion, it's about human empathy.

He had been telling us for 2 days there would be tornadoes and there would be 1 or 2 massive devastating ones that would be life threatening and he said exactly where those would be and 1 of those bad ones would come right through where I live and he was 100% correct. Matt even gets on his own Facebook when he's off and continues to be here for us through all of it. I've seen him be the only one still reporting after all the rest have taken cover at the tv station.

    As someone who has lived in an area where tornadoes are just a part of life that you have to get used to, this gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. He knew exactly what he was looking at and what that meant for those people. It's very surreal when it happens in your own backyard. I'm glad they had a compassionate person to talk them through this. It may sound silly, but most of us develop a love for our meteorologists. Growing up, Dan "The Man" Satterfield (ifkyk) was ours. Many tornadic afternoons, you would hear him screaming from the tvs to warn us latch-key kids of what was coming & how to handle it. Step 1: Turn up the tv as loud as you can. Step 2: Get a helmet or pillows to cover your head. Step 3: Get in a closet or bathtub. Step 4: Do NOT come out until Dan tells you to. ❤

I personally have never seen someone express themselves like this before. We need more people like this man in the world today. I could literally feel his heart breaking when he seen the path of the tornado. My deepest condolences to those who were lost, injured, frightened beyond belief, and to those that lost loved ones.

    YHVH, incarnate bodily in Jesus Christ, is the Creator. No other “gods” exist, Isaiah 44. He is the First and the Last, and apart from Him, I know no other God, no, not one. The LORD Jesus Christ says He is the First and the Last in ReveIation 1, because He is the visible image of the invisible YHVH, Colossians 1:15, the Godhead in bodily form, Colossians 2:9. It’s worthless to pray to anyone but the Father, YHVH, or the Son, Jesus Christ, who are united as one LORD, because faIse gods can’t help you.

    @@davidcattin7006 - God changed his mind at least 19 times that are documented in Scripture, such as in Exodus 32:14: ““So the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people.” The fact that God is completely sovereign (all powerful) does not mean that he always chooses to exercise total control over all events. Therefore, praying for God to protect people from a natural disaster is neither rude, nor “suggesti[ng] that he change his mind.” God’s character does not change, he is always holy, always just, always merciful, etc. But he has, does, and can change his mind. If you dispute that, you’re calling the Bible a lie, at least these verses: Jeremiah 29:16 Numbers 23:19 1 Samuel 15:29 Isaiah 31:2 2 Corinthians 1:19 Jonah 4:2 Exodus 32:12 Amos 7:3 Amos 7:6 Jonah 3:9 Jonah 3:10 Jeremiah 18:8 Jeremiah 26:3 Jeremiah 26:13 Jeremiah 42:10 2 Samuel 24:16 Jeremiah 18:10 Ezekiel 7:22 More details here: bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/God-Changing-His-Mind

    It is great to live where people openly talk about Jesus and pray everyday. No libs giving any guff, you can say God Bless you in a store and Merry Christmas and pray on the radio or TV or in person anytime you like. I used to live right there in Mississippi and those people are the salt of the earth. I am happy to live in Texas where I can freely talk about Jesus and if someone don't like it they can lump it. Same goes for the midwest. Really most of our country is uninfected by the massive lib virus that causes mental disease. Oh yes, we have them but I just poo poo them away, shoo and get out of my face if anyone says anything. In the hell known as Portlandia or Commiefornia that could get you killed.

    So the man has empathy because he is asking God to help, but if God is sitting idle watching people die until someone asks for help via prayer, is that God empathetic? And if God was already helping, what good is the prayer? Neither option makes sense. Either God is callous or prayer is useless. Either way breaks the Christian worldview.

You literally are telling everyone in that area "there is this massive, deadly storm heading your way, and you could very likely die in the next 20 minutes." It's like that scene in the movie "Only The Brave" (I recommend you watch it if you haven't) when Brendan McDonough walks into the gym and every person in there breaks down into tears because when he walked in, he confirmed that the single closest people to everyone in that room had died.

    The most simple prayer I've heard, and yet it feels so real on live TV. Bravo to the reporter.

    We will never know how many lives were saved BECAUSE of that short simple prayer…and the love he had in his heart for those people.

    @Brutal Honesty what about when he doesnt??? It's a fair statement for him to make tbh you think he's just got his back turned to you, helping someone else, and you pray like, 'God my family is about to die please save,' and he spins around like, 'oh shit I didn't see you there lemme just scoot that tornado over.' Like he's trying to keep all his sims alive and just can't watch everyone all the time tho
