Seeing the scale of the wind turbine's tubular steel columns, relative to the set of stairs at their base (and just how easily those columns buckled under the winds) then seeing Reed's drone footage of the event, you get a mind blowing sense of the tornado's size and ferocity. Preliminary data states "at least" EF3 damage, with more engineering investigation to carry out over the coming days. It was a beast of a storm. I have a lot of sympathy for the people involved who've now got to rebuild their homes and lives ☹️ Great work by Brandon and WXChasing yet again, to capture these early recordings for history's sake.

Yes. Watching Reed live I did not have a sense of the size and structural aspect. I mean, I See them on my way to Martha's Vineyard and they do look huge, but somehow in the moment they felt smaller. And embarrassingly, I hadn't thought of them starting fires. Watching Reed live I figured it was lightening, which was extra unscientific because of the lack of. This is Excellent footage. Greatly appreciate your perspective and skill❤❤

I noticed a National Guard General on a news cast from Greenfield. He was standing with the various authorities. He never made a statement or said anything. I served for 6 years with my local Army National Guard Field Artillery Unit in Southern Indiana back in the 80's. Im sure they will be deployed to that area.

I wouldn’t live where tornadoes 🌪️ hits nonstop for anything in this world and what’s so sad is most of them people don’t even have a tornado shelter underground 😢 Move to the mountains in between mountains 😢 Which is how i live and at 50 years old with tornadoes hitting all around my location there’s only been one tornado hit my location but destroyed everything outside of the mountains 😢

Based on the amount of trees that had been significantly debarked, I think this tornado has the potential to be rated an EF5. I don’t like pre-rating tornadoes, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.

@WxChasing Ай бұрын

I would be surprised if it got a 5 given the lack of damage indicators. I would also be shocked if it was less than a 4.

@DARWINZOO Ай бұрын

Watched turbine bend like a plastic straw on Reed Timmer live. And fire sprang from at least one, so im guessing that's why you’ve got water on the ground in drone

Each wind turbin holds 250 gallons of oil. That's why they catch on fire. God's land being so polluted from those things.

Debarking trees as seen in the video is a sign of EF5, but they'll probably call it an EF4.

@@Bob_Adkins, yep, like the Barnsdall, OK tornado, they rated it a EF4 that should've been rated a EF5, even though houses were swiped completely off their foundations and or concrete slabs, along with the bark being stripped off the trees and over half of the town destroyed.

why isn't the National Guard over there at Greenfield helping them This is not what we have them for instead of always going to war? I feel sorry for them and I give them prayers that they can come back from this and pray for those who passed away but I think the state ought to send the National Guard over there not just the governor she ought to be sending out the National Guard.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
