Most Emotional Storm Chase Ever - Hedrick, IA EF4 Tornado

Still can't believe what I witnessed - thankfully everyone was safe.
A GoFundMe via Venmo has been set up for the elderly couple whose house was destroyed in the video (Leroy and Nancy Sanders). I personally talked with them and their family. They're doing fine but a bit shaken. Their currently living with other family till they figure out their living situation so the money would go towards that and hopefully a new home.

    Tanner, thank you for helping my cousin, her husband and his parents and their pets. Just hearing her voice.... I cry and shake when I watch this and can't believe they are all ok. It's very strange that YOU were the one to help them as my wife and I JUST started watching your videos a few days ago. Your prayers were definitely heard. Please keep doing this amazing work as you are truly appointed and anointed. Thank you again and God bless you❤

I mean in these situations, they are like our children. And we turn our thoughts to our children. I'm glad you didn't have any death that day. But, the family home. Farm folks. I'm one of ya. That hurts deep. I love you even though I don't know you. Be well. Take care. ❤

    You crossed paths for a reason. Not only were you there that day to help rescue an entire family and their terrified pets, but also to document this footage. This spreads compassion and awareness of what people go through in these sometimes unavoidable situations. To see how fast someone’s life can be obliterated is beyond sobering. We must be there for each other as we are all mere mortals at the mercy of this earth.

Pray before the destruction comes not after. Prayed whole heartedly for 30 years and all I got was to read the part of scriptures where Jesus said all you desciple's and some of you might be still standing alive on my second coming !! this was 80 Generations ago and still he hasn't came. 20 % of Believers don't know 20% of the Testaments old or new. He never said he comes but only when every eye shall see him sort of contradicts . This guy is a brave saint for helping these People and as a tornado chaser ,he knows he's expected too.

    Most chasers have advanced first aid kits with useful things like tourniquets. A lot chasers are also trained in first aid. A small town with two ambulances can easily have dozens of injured people. Most tornadoes don’t cause injuries, but when they do, it’s very helpful for there to be chasers that can get to the victims in such a short amount of time. When a tornado causes major damage and injuries, that’s when the chase stops. No one has ever saved someone’s life and then said, “I wish I had continued the chase because saving lives is boring.” Tanner is absolutely part of the chaser community that you are happy to see when a tornado is hitting your town.

And my fellow friends, who do assistance to poor people, are very worried too. In some US states if you give food to homeless you risk to be arrested. Yes, you can be arrested for help people. Meanwhile in Kensington, people wander like zombies looking for drugs, and Pentagon needs a budget of almost 1 trillion dollars, showing which are the priotities of USA government, and I´m talking about ANY president that will sit on that chair.

    Hello, my grandson is a new meteorologist (congrats). We had a family gathering last month and my first question was, "which tornado was most powerful," without hesitation he said, "Jarrell." He proceeded to show me some aerial/ground photos from his laptop and those vacant concrete slabs were visually shocking. He said, "twisting speed was around 300 mph but what made this tornado so extraordinary was it's slow movement intensifying it's destruction." Anyhow I did my own 20 day research and what I saw was mesmerizing yet eerie. First and foremost R.I.P. to those that perished and my condolences to all family/friends. 27 deaths caused by the tornado occurred within one subdivision of Jarrell, a neighborhood of 38 well built houses called Double Creek Estates. Each residence was completely swept away and reduced to a concrete slab. The twister produced some of the most extreme ground scouring ever documented as the earth at and around Double Creek was scoured out to depths of 18 inches reducing lush fields of grass to vast expanses of mud. The tornado left an unbroken swath of barren earth vacant of fences, telephone poles, trees, pavement and homes that once dotted the landscape. Cars and heavy wreckers were granulated into small pieces and scattered across the earth never to be identified, think about that for a ..moment. The cause of death for most of the victims was tactfully listed by the county coroner as "multiple trauma", although the truth was obviously far more grisly and difficult to explain to next of kin. Human and animal body parts reportedly littered the area for miles, creating an unbearable stench of decay. Police were forced to close off the entire area as a biohazard zone for weeks as cadaver dogs worked to find human body parts buried throughout the wreckage. Pieces were spread out on the floor of a local volunteer fire department - recovery teams tried to distinguish human remains from animal remains. Most had to be identified through dental records. Many were never recovered at all. What a nightmare. Timothy P. Marshall is a structural and forensic engineer as well as meteorologist. He has conducted more than 10,000 damage surveys of tornadoes, hurricanes and hailstorms. Tim is best of the best and after surveying Jarrell he said, "Houses were obliterated. The destruction was so intense, it serves as a baseline for which all other tornadoes are rated against." Regardless if tornado is moving forward at 8 mph or 80 mph, fact remains that so many surveyors consider Double Creek storm to be the most catastrophic tornado in terms of intensity still today 2022. I've seen photographs of Bridge Creek, Hackleburg-Phil Cambell, Bakersfield Valley, Smithville, Pomeroy, Udall, Brandenburg, Pampa, Parkersburg, Loyal Valley, Philadelphia-MS, Plainfield, Greensburg, Xenia, El Reno, Joplin and they do not compare to Double Creek Estates duration intensity, Nothing Does. I've learned and seen enough What did i learn ? That "Dead Man Walking" is an understatement And my advice ? If you see one RUN !!! D, Anderson USMC 2/9/3 68-69

    It’s so nice to see a chaser that considers the chase done when people need help. In the 90s when I was chasing for months on end it was fairly normal to see. Even had some cases where so many would stop it made it difficult for emergency services to get down the drive (May 1998 SD) My last true chase was the day of the Pilger, NE tornado. I knew people needed help and a good few chasers also stopped. Someone from there even drove my first aid kits down to Omaha to say thanks. However, there were a lot I watched pass straight through and not bother stopping longer than to take pics of the stunned people emerging from homes. Sad. That day I went from active chaser to simple local WFO spotter. Much happier not fighting chaser trains, gaggles, and yahoo’s out for themselves. I commend you for your integrity and humanity.

    I dont know who you are and I've never seen your videos. But I got chills once you started to pray. I don't know who they are but thank you for your prayers for these people and thank you for helping them and their pets. I also absolutely love your shirt. May God bless you my brother❤️!
