Too bad they made it...
The windows, including the large front arched windows, were boarded up for about a year. It looked like a St. Louis foreclosed property from the expressway.
The guy on the phone be like “Hey there’s stuff blowing around me.” *casually takes cover*
I have been a meat cutter for over 26 years and I have had to take customers in the meat coolers during tornadoes. The people that amazing me are the one who run to the front of the building where all the plate glass is to look outside when you are yelling at them to get away from it. Darwin in action

Someone who actually makes sense and takes responsibility and action, although I wouldn't be in the cooler, probably wouldn't have even been in the store as I chase tornadoes. Last one I chased with fatalities was the one they showed on the History Channel that rolled through Utica Illinois and killed 12 people, got pulled over and harassed by a state trooper while i was on the phone with the NWS reporting and having them activate the warning sirens... He stopped me 18 miles from town, can't help but think that delayed the warning, they were tracking it on radar as well, but those take time to scan and refresh, like about eight minutes, could uave taken the warning time from about 5-8 minutes to fifteen minutes, sure hope the ticket i beat was worth it, also hope that cop sees this and feels like a piece of shit. When I got to Utica it had hit downtown and I stopped chasing and aided in rescue/recovery with triage, when some of us take an oath we mean it and it doesn't come with an expiration date.

Sometimes humans think that they are Bada$$ and have all the power. But to god we're nothing but a grain of sand at the beach. Destroying what you build in seconds. Past time to appreciate what you have because it all will be gone in SECONDS
Me just looking at the cameras going black one by one
Man at 1:42 had to use the restroom FAST after that.
All those worthless employees not even checking on folks or administering first aid...

Can't help people if it's already on top of you and you get swept away yourself Like You can't save people if you're dead. Tornados are also fast moving so even after warning everyone, there wasn't much reaction time to actually do anything except take cover

@@Its_Asteria you must sure like to feel important... I've been chasing this type of shit for better than twenty years. Secondly they chose the type of job they are in, security says you put yourself in danger for the well-being of others, third, if you're too stupid to figure out they wouldn't exactly need help til it passed, well ain't nothing gonna help you. Kick rocks.

@@kevinfreeman3098 lmao, you sure like to feel smart. Security Jobs require to place yourself before others lol, you're not a sacrifice for the people. If you're out then everyone else is done for too, like throwing your weapon/first aid kit to carry an injured man. Hey, you may/may not save him, but you doomed yourself and everyone who depends on you, congrats.

First thing you learn in First Aid class. 1. CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE CHECKING OTHERS. Second thing you learn. 2. Make sure it's safe for YOU to processed before helping anyone. If you can't do either, you're going to make the situation worse and add to casualties
