The most terrifying part of night tornadoes is the fact that the darkness doesn’t allow you to know where it’s at, bear in mind due to thunder, rain and wind it sounds as if it’s all around you. This one was rain wrapped too making it even worse. RIP to all the souls who lost their lives that night. I hope they’re resting peacefully and they’re family gets support during this difficult time.

The heated up atmosphere is jet fuel for these storms. This twister stayed on the ground for some 280 miles -- a record breaker. In hurricane Ida more people got killed in my state -- New Jersey -- then those who were expected to lose their lives in Louisiana. We even had a tornado that destroyed homes. We are in uncharted territory. There are no guarantees against a repeat and intensifying of these events. Do what you can to be safe. Avoid flood zones, etc. As far as I'm concerned, "Tornado Alley" is now practically anywhere. The claim is that it's shifting eastward.

She took a hell of a beating but we were able to repair the house. My Titan was totalled and my Hyundai Genesis GT coupe had $12,000 in damages to repair it. It took about a year. The worst part is 20 days later another bigger tornado hit Albany. It was an F-4 rain wrapped. It killed people. There's videos of that tornado on KZread. It was pure deviation.

Couple close calls where one took out chunks of the school that is real close to where we live but nothing like what Kentucky went through! That was a MONSTER tornado.

Si los humanos con poder gastasen menos en armas y exploraciones espaciales y las grandes mentes se enfocasen en conocer, respetar y armonizar nuestro planeta, un evento como este podría predecirse 24 horas antes de manera que no se perdiese ninguna vida, pero la realidad es que la mayoría miramos siempre es fuera de casa. Es curioso como los objetos que compramos y por los que trabajamos tanto pueden terminar en un evento así matándonos en un segundo.

You are 1000% correct.
Oh God, so cool looking, but tragic.
I couldn't even IMAGINE, I'm so sorry, sending prayers of love as well as financial help 🙏🏻😭💕
That’s so scary and to just know how many people died from that monster is so sad .. 😭🙏🏻
I live in New York and have for 3 years now and I was on edge because my family and friends live in Missouri (mostly) and Tennessee. It was hard ti get a hold of my mom during this and I even video chatted one of my friends that lived in TN since shes a mom to two boys to see if she was okay. The tornado had just began to head towards where she lived when we were on the phone. It was terrifying and I am glad they were all okay but my heart breaks so much for the people that lost loved ones and are still finding them/searchin for them. Never in my life though have I seen a tornado this bad. I experienced plenty but this one I was so worried for everyone. Tornados are very intriguing yet scary.
Horrific.
Terrifying, those poor people did not deserve that. I'm so sorry to everyone who was affected.
I was really scared of tornadoes as a kid. And now I just figured out. I STILL AM. in all seriousness it's scary as heck seeing just the powerlines go out in the dark and not seeing the HUGE object taking them out. Truly insane stuff.
Слышал слово торнадо. Сегодня вижу. Ужас необъятный.Каким надо быть сильным, мужественный народом. Чтоб выстоять такое. И потом, потеряв родных, отстроится и снова там жить. Сил вам и соболезнование.Это очень страшно.
That is one wide base and a humongous funnel. Not many people had a chance when that arrived. Where are the people from the homes that were ripped off their bases and destroyed?

Workers got stuck in some factory and reportedly there was about 100 inside but only 40 have been rescued so far
Here’s a word to the wise. When there’s a tornado warning, then don’t be out driving. Try and find the nearest sturdy building you can take shelter in if you’re caught driving into a tornadic storm. I sincerely hope and pray that’s a sight that I’ll never see! Tornadoes are always terrifying events, but it’s even more terrifying at night like this. For the lack of a better term, if there’s one silver lining with these tornadoes it’s that these tornadoes had a very fast forward speed. Most of these storms we’re moving forward at over 50mph. The entire horrifying experience with these tornadoes likely only lasted in terms of seconds. I’ve heard of slow moving tornadoes that have lasted for minutes, not seconds like this. It would be pure hell on earth to be in a slow moving tornado that lasted for minutes!
This is so frightening! Absolutely frightening!😯
Look at that monster.
A lot of those are not lightning strikes they are the tornado blowing up power lines and substations

That’s so much worse.
All that lightning proof positive that the Thunderstorm truly is the "parent" of the tornado. What a terrifying sight especially at night.
Those poor people...may God comfort those that lost loved ones in this horrific disaster! 😢😢
