I am so sad for the people and animals. I cried here in Illinois.

So this is why house market is cheap here compared to California your house can just vanish if Mother Nature chooses to

I'm getting storm fatigue at this point, many sleepless nights in the Midwest in the last few months. Prayers for the families that have lost loved ones. 😢

Super Tears for Iowa!
There should be an outcome report for all the families having their homes wiped out over the past several years.
Where did they go?
What did they do?
How did their lives turn out?

This is important to know.

_Since the damage is already done, I hope they do rate the Greenfield monster the first EF5 since 2013!_
*_May God be with you all.. this is truly horrific!_*

I live in Louisiana. I’m not kidding a couple years ago in the tornado went super close to that house.

[albertafarmer]

💟Endtimes, get rapture ready, people! We are so close now!

[myhairisemaculate]

"hit without warning" no. There was warnings the day before on multiple outlets. If youre in the Midwest and not weather prepared for spring, that's on you.

[BiggieCheese_Roblox]

Just because there hasnt been an ef5 in over 10 years, doesnt mean the otheres cant be dangerous too.

[jjdaggers]

I feel so terrible for the animals and the people. May they all rest in peace and fly high. 💔🕊️

[kiddReyes]

I almost got flipped on I 35 while delivering packages it’s been rough specially after getting hit by an ef3 tornado in 2018 and a derecho 2 year laters. I just can’t catch a break😡

[moorishstar]

I am not from the United States, where I live there are no tornadoes.

What I don't understand, is why in places where the risk of being hit by tornadoes is almost 100%, there is no legislature to disallow constructing with materials like timber! Like, I understand it's cheaper, but for god's sake...

[michaelespeland]

I dont understand why this didnt get a tornado emergency alert

[ccoop]

This is what happens when you manipulate mother nature 😯😔🗽

[elinope]

Why aren't houses built like domes there? I feel like it's quite possible to build solid domes that would just be cleaned off by a direct hit from a tornado.

[KingJames]

I moved from Colorado to Omaha in 2021. Starting to really regret that decision...
