  • Literally looks like Joplin was nuked. 

  • @omtomt8787 no, first you must realise the conviction on your soul and then the grace that saves it, you see god's love but you forget god's wrath, I'm being very blunt but it's certainly for a good reason, to be justified the part of you that does iniquity must die and you must be raised a new in god

  • Kansas toto

  • i heard that xray from the hospital was found 73 miles away

  • ITS CALLED LET MY PEOPLE GO.....PRAISE YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God Hates Noone! God Loves Each And Everyone Of Us! God Wanted The People Who Died In Tht Tornado!! He Wanted My Cousin, He Wanted My Best Friends Sister, He Wanted My Step Brothers Mom!

  • @garry2301 god hates you, a filthy soul full of cursed sin, he hates all who do iniquity and we certainly do iniquity. So, are you justified?

  • @stepharnos u r incredibly misinformed and so so wrong 

  • Yes are city looks filthy right now but we are cleaning it up! God Bless!!!

  • God bless Joplin, he loves us all even ignorant ppl!

  • @garry2301 Thanks again Garry for removing all those posts about you servicing MrFreddyPhelps rectum.

  • @garry2301 What's wrong douche, why all the removed comments? Also, calling MrFreddyPhelps an asshole is not a very nice thing to do. Just not feeling the love Garry.

  • 6 month anniversary was today I went and cried I almost lost my little sister and step mom

  • look there home!

  • I had lived in Wentworth, MO, which is more than 20 miles from Joplin, and this same storm wether it was the tornado it's self severly weakened or the storm front wiped out the 2 car garage and took the front porch off the house.

  • omtomt8787 the May 22nd tornado hit more towns then just Joplin. Idk if ur from here or not but it started outside of Joplin and went through the whole city and completely took out another town. Death toll today is 166. People missing body parts that are still alive well I'm afraid to count that high.

  • I wonder if the republicans from Missouri are going to yell with anger "get the government out of my life" and refused any federal help...

  • look at that. a whole town completly demolished and people are getting into fight s abbout religon? ssad people

  • I can't believe some of these comments. You people are heartless. "You should've died in the tornado" comments... Ugh, YOU should've died in the tornado. And for those of you who have to include a cuss word in every sentence you say, that's just sad and proves you are an idiot. Think if YOU were in this kind of situation. You wouldn't be saying the things you're saying now. God bless Joplin and all of the ones who lost friends and family.

  • I don't know. Is "best" really the proper word to describe this?

  • this is so incredibly sad.

  • @sidereally does this remind u of twister the movie?

  • Woot woot! God damned MO! Too bad I wasn't there. Once bull rushed a F4 tornader and hit that son of a bitch so hard it started spinnin' the other direction! True story. Hit like mike tyson, hung like jon holmes. Hot Damn, i am one bad mother fucker! 10 feet tall, 500 lbs. of solid streaming steel and Sex Appeal! Internet Bad Ass!...( No , god damnit! I don't live in my mom's basement! )

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta You are pathetic. You probably do live in your mom's basement.

  • My neighbors were hit with a tragedy- an utter cataclysm. Sixty miles away from me, human beings lost family and friends and their livelyhoods in a matter of minutes. I'm certain that if there is a loving God or even a hateful, spiteful God, he would want us to help eachother, no matter what. Empathy itself- the thing that makes us human- is what God would want us to tap in to. Not hatred, the thing that makes us animalaistic, that expends energy that could go towards helping others.

  • The day after the tornado, I got with a group of friends and drove to Joplin to help them. Joplin was my childhood, and on May 22- the day I graduated highschool- my childhood was wiped off the face of the Earth by a horrifying tornado. People I knew died in the tornado- friends and family alike.

    Now, I can't speak for him, but I'm certain what God would want us to do is to come together in times of tragedy and help a fellow man. Treat thy neighbor like thy brother, right?

  • @Pliio8 praise the lord for u

  • @Pliio8

    Yeah, god want's to make sure you go and help the town he destroyed.

  • Well about a month ago I made a comment about all the Westboro Baptist Church accounts being deleted and putting an end to the cruel negative comments, looks like I was wrong they made new accounts and came back to tourment people.

  • Google "Joplin Storm Manipulation"

  • I volunteered here for S&R. Sadly we didnt find anyone alive. We did find a woman though. When we pulled all the rubble off of her mangled body you couldnt even tell she was human. It was a horrific tornado that I really wish would have never been.

  • i was there and saw the damage, joplin got leveled, 250-265 mph winds

  • how does anyone know what gpd actually says or wants,,god wants this or that, or says this or that,,blah ,, blah,,blah

  • @garry2301 SPOKEN BY A WESTBORO BABTIST CHURCH MEMBER FROM TOPEKA, KS. A BONIFIDE GOOBER WITH CROSSED EYES TYPED THIS TRASH! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

  • @garry2301 YOU CAN TALK TO ME! BUT, I WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOUR OTHER CHANNELS, AND COMMENTS! GOING TO WEED THEM ALL OUT!

  • @garry2301 AT LEAST PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHERE YOUR TWO CENTS COME FROM!

  • OH, I TAKE THAT BACK! WESTBORO ISN'T REALLY A CHURCH AT ALL, IT IS A CULT! LOL! CULT OF WORSHIPING THE DEVIL! SPREADING LIES, AND MISERY ALL AROUND! GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!

  • @garry2301 I DONE TOLD YOU, IF I SAW MORE COMMENTS FROM YOU! I WOULD COMMENT BACK ON EACH AND EVERY COMMENT BY YOU, THAT YOU ARE A WESTBORO BABTIST CHURCH MEMBER! THIS WILL CONTINUE EVERY DAY FROM NOW ON. YOUR RHETORIC FITS THE BILL!

  • @garry2301 SOMEBODY IS WARMING UP A D-9 CAT! DO YOU HEAR IT IN THE DISTANCE?

  • @garry2301 SPOKEN BY A WESTBORO BABTIST CHURCH MEMBER FROM TOPEKA, KS. A BONIFIDE GOOBER WITH CROSSED EYES TYPED THIS TRASH! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

  • They say they gave us a 20 minute warning. Fucking bullshit, I was there it was a 5 second warning I'm not exaggerating. My windows were splitting before the sirens went off.

  • @MCwithPshycosis Yeah, watch this video; wwwdotliveleakdotcom/view?i=34­8_1307570942 (replace the "dots" with ".")

    This guy stops by the police to tell them to get the sirens going. In the text above it says that when he told them to turn on the sirens the tornado had already touched down.

  • @garry2301 Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! I'm not listening

  • @garry2301 Just calm down and love life. You'll be a much better person. Somehow though, I get the feeling that you aren't crazy but your just fuckin with me to have a good time.

  • @garry2301 REPENT NOW OR DIE!!!!!!

  • @garry2301 No really man, I'm serious. He's a psychiatrist. He went to the University of Heavenly psychology and everything. You should really check your facts sometime. It really helps when you want to avoid looking like a jackass. But you've probably never cared about that. Annnnyyyywayyyy, I think you should probably look for a job because you're really spending way to much time on the internet. You know, God hates lazy fat slobs like yourself. You sinful bastard. The hell awaits you.

  • @BillyTuskan garry2301 is(HEADS UP!): A WESTBORO BABTIST CHURCH MEMBER FROM TOPEKA, KS. A BONIFIDE GOOBER WITH CROSSED EYES TYPED THIS TRASH TO YOU!

  • @garry2301 I had a nice long conversation with an Archangel today. Who also moonlights as a psychiatrist. He said that you're full of shit, have really big man titties, is horribly inbred generation after generation. He told that I shouldn't hate you for being ignorant because the odds were against before you were even born. Finally, he said that he truly hopes that you can let go of all the hatred you harbor in your heart so that maybe one day you can actually know what it's like to be happy.

  • @garry230 So you're telling me that God himself makes mistakes?! You dare call into question the omnipotent one?!? You sir are an idiot.

  • i live in missouri

  • Oh god saved them!! Pray and god will save u~~!! This is a sure sign god is coming

  • You can tell this is all gods work!! Only god saved the ppl of joplin!! Amen!

  • @garry2301 Nope, I'm pretty sure God loves me. Let me check again...yep he still does.

  • @garry2301 Hope you have fun burning in hell.

  • Help Joplin out and Donate towards the Rebuild of the town and homes Visit BiggerPool. com to help

  • 2011 horrible fucking year

  • i live there REALLY I live in Joplin im staying in nixa with my cousin

  • i'm from joplin and i lived right by the hospital and my son and I was trapped for 30-45 mins along with our dog, and our cat went missing for 2 weeks. How dare most of you people to be heartless and just plain stupid. This had nothing to do with God, or the devil or anything like that. This is Tornado alley it happens around us all the time during the spring but it never gets covered by the news because its never hit directly in just a populated area. For you racist pricks die off!!

  • @Mamaheatherhg fuck u u bitch u shouldnt say that to peeps saying "for u racist pricks die off" y u shouldev died in the tornado........death cant be cheated so u might as well shut ur ass up cuz lots of peeps lost more lives over here in tuscaloosa then in joplin

  • @mario90122 this isnt your crisis its theirs so QQ somewhere else everyone has it hard

  • @Shadowbugger fuk u bitch

  • @mario90122 thats very incorrect, the joplin tornado was the deadliest single tornado since 1947 and 7th all time, and it was after the tuscaloosa. it killed around 150 people, not close is tuscaloosa. now the april 27th outbreak was one of the deadlies outbreaks though

  • @omtomt8787 and not to mention that the joplin tornado only went through one town and was on the ground for only 7-10 miles, the tuscaloosa tornado went through many more towns, tuscaloosa and also birmingham and was on the ground for around 50-60 miles longer. just goes to show people how powerfull the joplin tornado was

  • @omtomt8787 yes and while the joplin tornado was very powerful and deadly the one to hit Hackleburg, AL was one of the largest EF-5 being 1.25 to 1.5 miles wide and traveled 79 miles and with wind speed breaching 280mph

  • @omtomt8787 the death toll for the tuscaloosa-birmingham tornado is i think 66

  • @omtomt8787 ever seen twister this is based on a movie how a tornado can be like

  • I have the previous 30 minutes of the live feed from TWC on my DVR in HD. too bad I have no way to upload it

  • Was the Jewish part of Joplin hurt ?

  • i feel bad for that dog

  • Do something

  • Shut up with this religious shit we don't need people to preach to us it's weather not the LORD ALMiGHTY HIMSELF think of other peoples religious views this isn't spreading the word this is harassment if u wanna make a difference

  • Comment removed

  • The hospital discussed at 1:40 was also moved 4 inches from its foundation. I can't imagine anything that powerful...I'm from the Joplin area and I've spent a lot of time at that hospital with one family member or another, and it's a sturdy structure. I just can't imagine....

  • Really cool way to help Joplin!! If you like the smithmonitoring facebook page they will donate $.50 to the relief efforts in Joplin!! Like this and go like the smith monitoring facebook page and like it to be part of the solution!!

  • everyone needs to stfu, and pray for these people. what good is arguing doing anyways?

  • thank you lord jesus for your wrath. it sure is a pleasure to my heart

  • Why are people "praying" to the being that didn't stop the tornado?

  • my boyfriend our 2 girls and i rode it out in the bathroom. we lived at 2406 empire. the first 3 houses on my side of street r a loss, but still standing. was told if trees would have landed differently in my yard, all 3 homes would have been gone.when i came out of bathroom i couldnt believe my eyes. all on my block and surrounding blks survived thanks to my boyfriend and a couple neighbors fast response to search and rescue. we left house w dog guinea pigs and all fish still alive

  • my boyfriend our 2 girls who were 4 and 5 and i rode it out in the bathroom. we lived at 2406 empire, could see st johns from backyard. only the first 3 houses on my side of street r a loss, but still standing.when i came out of bathroom i couldnt believe my eyes. my heart goes out to those that lost more than possessions. all on my block and surrounding blks survived thanks to my boyfriend and a couple neighbors fast response to search and rescue. this was a great tribute video, thank you

  • Hey great news!!! The Westboro Baptist Church channels have been deleted or terminated due to severe or multiple violations of the community guidelines! That should put an end to all the negative and cruel comments here.

  • @wduane2807

    Religion is disgusting and its followers are the plague of the Earth. They're parasites to the Earth, using all its resources and not giving anything back. I can safely say they're not even on the same level as disease. They are an entity more deplorable than anything the Earth has seen.

  • @Nerdicusable fuck u ,u devil worshiper u should rot in hell

  • @wduane2807 hey i think we should do what a group of bikers did and go picket their church like they picketed' or at least tried to picket joplin? anyone down?

  • I was locked up for a week because i knocked a guy out for taking pictures of my house and any other mother fucker that wants to say somethin about this tornado negatively ill kill em

  • To those boys from that church. I got to say one thing. Come to my neighborhood in Joplin, and we'll see if God can save you from me.

  • IMPORTANT:

    Pls leave the comments active. There are ppl who get paid to stir-up trouble on YT comment boards. This is done so ppl won't read the comments in the event pertinent information is shared.

    If someone tries to engage you in a debate, just ignore them. You can clearly see their motives.

    Lastly, just look at the reports face, poor dude is doing all he can to hold it together.

    There are ppl that do not want you to connect the dots.

    DONT FALL FOR IT! Keep posting, Keep talking.

  • Ok I am done, I've said all I've wanted to say to this person, so now it's time to move on. My apologies to everyone else who has to read it all.

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS You know what??? You're a douche bag. Goodbye DOUCHE BAG! Im blocking you!

  • wduane... douche bags like this love attention, and as long as you keep responding to their bullshit, the more they're going to keep on going. Just ignore him, if need be block him. He's a douche bag and douche bags are not worth your time.

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS I pray you will be out there doing one of your protests and a bolt of lightning strikes all of you... scum of the earth

  • Nobody has a problem with freedom just with Idiots who abuse it the people of Joplin have been through enough already

  • hey fuck you you evil heartless worthless rotten piece of shit westboro baptist church assholes I LOST FUCKIN FAMILY MEMBERS IN THAT TORNADO AND YOU ASSHOLES ARE CALLING THE DEAD PEOPLE IDIOTS AND WISHING THERE WERE MORE DEATHS! I PRAY A TORNADO DEMOLISHES YOUR CHURCH INTO TINY LITTLE SPLINTERS!!!

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS , please feed the troll godhates, as for every second you can keep this freak occupied, it's a second he's not abusing his children.

  • Comment removed

  • Why don't you westboro baptist church idiots take your crap somewhere else?! You're not getting anymore media attention out there waving your banners all over the place, so now you are taking over you tube! GO AWAY!!! WE DON'T WANT YOU!

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS You seem to have a problem with your freedom, you hate the military, the men and women who fight for your freedom so you can stand out there and act like a bunch of jackasses at their funerals! If you hate America so much why don't you leave? Go to Pakistan and pull your crap and see how long you last there! I'll even buy you a one way ticket.

  • @booandbeans Do You mean it?  Cause that would be fantastic!

  • @booandbeans I'll contribute to the cost of the ticket.

  • @booandbeans No person is free on this earth that is forced to use a created money system. Freedom is having everything you need, when you need it and not wanting for anything. Freedom is NOT limitations, made up money systems, fees, permits, taxations, slave labor (Working), laws, restrictions. As far as the military fighting for freedoms, how many MORE freedoms do you have that you DID NOT have 50 years ago? You have less now, that's a fact. USA military is part of the British. THINK

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS So basically, you're just jealous that you're not getting enough attention. Not my problem. Poor whiner.

  • @GODHATESFAGSSSS Actually, the good people of Japan, realizing that America was also hit hard, sent some aid to those who suffered through the tornadoes. I'm guessing neither America nor Japan wants a mouth like yours on their side.

  • I live close to Joplin and to see the destruction is sad cause i have been going there since I was a baby

  • i wish i could just run there and help. :/

  • i dont live that far from joplin

  • Hey good people, I wrote a song about the trip I took to Joplin From Illinois with my church to help out if you wanna check it out. Just type in Trace King - Hope if you would like to listen to it.

  • Tornados are more powerful than most hurricanes. For instance the only reason Katrina did so much damage is cause louisianna is below sea level. It was like digging a hole at the beach and building a town in the and having the tide come in. That F5 made Katrina look weak.

  • F5 winds are from 261-318mph.

  • Is it really wise to call it the "BEST" aftermath video??

  • the hospital is amazing no window's

  • Dear Lord , help these people. My son who lives in Springfield Mo is there with his church helping to clean up debris and feeding them. How horrible. My heart is so heavy for them. I can't even fathom what they must be going through. It is heartbreaking to see this. God ,,send your people to help them. Comfort them and love them and give them hope ,courage to face the days ahead. May each one know that they are loved by God and may his love follow them each day.

  • What are we going to do FOLKS!?

    We need to stop this bickering and focus on connecting with each another. If you got family or friends in another state, you need to have a game plan in case of another "natural" disaster.

    Just this week, there are 7 states flooded, with massive (thousands) displaced people. Where are they going??? Do they have any contacts outside of their state/city? Can they rely on the Red Cross or FEMA to provide shelter?

    We need to connect FAST!

  • @choosewisely1 The bickering is not going to stop as long as the Westboro Baptist Church guy is here pulling his nonsense.

  • JESUS CHRIST IT LOOKS LIKE FALLOUT 3.

  • @Marasg89 shut up.

  • Wow

  • courage au habitant de joplin

    

  • Le 11 sept c rien a comparer a CA mais ont parlent pas de ça, comme la famine en Afrique pas assez bank all , courage a toutes les familles qui sont dans de le besoins courage et merde au journalistes pourris par le frics

  • @MrBlackman8625 why do you think we hung so many of you niggers. Enough said

  • @evoman83 You knew that comment was ignorant what MrBlackman8625 said so why would you feed into that? Instead of giving an educated response you say something ignorant right back, u look no better than he does. F*ckin pathetic and I'm black and your comment should have been kept to yourself because the only time u will say that is when your behind your little computer, grow the f*ck up.

  • anyone make a joke period, got a bullet with your name on it.

  • YOU guys are so heartless I live in Joplin Missouri, I lost two fucking friends and a family member. I even lost my damn house!!! I pray that you guys that think this is funny would grow up. This is the most devastating thing ever in Joplin! How would you feel if this happened to you huh! May god be with you when you will be judged by him.

  • Anyone who makes fun of this is a bullie and a stupid......Ass.

  • R0FL PWND

  • @rgmerkel exactly. Some people dont understand that. This douche on another post was trying to insult me and it's like I'm sorry you never made it to 9th grade science to learn that!

  • I wish they would turn off the comments. Some people are just heartless jerks. I spend the weekend in Joplin, and no video could adequately show the massive amount of damage to EVERYTHING in the tornado's path. I am amazed there were not thousands of deaths.

  • @Kildesaur I agree... I am dealing with a heartless jerk right now... a westboro baptist church jerk

  • @Kildesaur I too was amazed there weren't more deaths

  • some of u assholes u tlk shit about how weak and building a brick house will hold a tornado look at may 3 1999 in oklahoma city the tornado was 318 mph i want to see a brickhouse with stand that and a ef5 can destroy japan so japan isnt so cool i want to see japan withstand it little fucking asians thumbs up if u agree

  • I live in Joplin and have a friend who lived in a home made of huge stones that totally disintegrated in the storm. The tornado shifted the entire hospital 4 inches off it's foundation and tossed Mac trucks around like they were toys. NOTHING would have survived this storm... and it's amazing me that the death toll hasn't been higher than it is. Please be respectful.

  • In japan buildings and structures are built to sustain earthquakes and tsunamis, I don't understand why in tornado alley, people build wooden trailer houses, that are easily destroyed even by weak tornadoes. There should be a building code in this region, to minimize destruction and loss of life, otherwise every year people will die and lose their homes.

  • @MrBlackman8625

    Your stupid ass is one cunt hair away from being a worthless human... Oh, screw it. You ARE a worthless human being that doesn't deserve to breath. Now go play in heavy traffic!

  • @MrBlackman8625

    Oh, and by the way. I am a firefighter from St.Louis County and we ( black firefighters too ) vol. our time to go down and help these poor people on our own time and dime the same way we helped those in Berkeley Missouri which is an all black community for the most part. Now shut your stupid ass mouth before you say anything else stupid.

  • @RGMerkel thanks for your help. i seen the st louis co sar folks.

  • @RGMerkel thank you for your (and your fellow firefighters) service. I am sure it is greatly appreciated. I am not from the area but i am from Springfield, MA where we also had a pretty devastating tornado and i know how much it means to see people from other areas (who dont have to) helping out, so again THANK YOU!!!!

  • @MrBlackman8625 you are fucked in the head kiddo. get some help.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrBlackman8625 lol dude funny. just remember, i know were you live, one of these nite's walk in and slit your throat lol

  • @MrBlackman8625 : You really have no idea how fucking ignorant you sound do you? First off it make absolutely NO sense whatsoever for you to say the fucked up shit you have said and then talk about God in the same sentence. YOU might wanna stop judging others when you, yourself OBVIOUSLY dont even have a literacy level equal to that of a 5th grade WHITE child in Joplin, MO. Do you not realize that almost 150 innocent people lost their lives in this disaster?

  • @MrBlackman8625 : Im SOOOOO sorry that your bitter about the fact that the people affected by hurricane Katrina werent helped in the way that they should have been right off the bat. Im not arguing that fact at all. But it is so far beyond ignorant to be happy about "crackas" dying in this natural disaster just bc your not happy with the way the basic human rights of black people are being met. but hey heres an idea... why dont you try doing something about it instead of pissing and moaning?

  • @MrBlackman8625 I lost my home, Dominique. And you have fucked up. Hello everyone, this gentleman's name is Dominique Roberson. He currently resides in Woonsocket, RI. I found an address but I'll save it for later, just in case he decides to flapping his fat lips again. He at one time attended Woonsocket Schools. I can't find the year he graduated but it won't take me long to figure out. Mr. Roberson, I'd watch your mouth before some local 'white crackers' come and give you what's coming.

  • @JMCSD I looked up his address also and I'm sure a lot of other people have also on here. So, whenever we want to take a road trip to Rhode Island and whoop his ass. LET'S GO!!!! I'm so sick of idiots getting on youtube and getting their kicks off other people's tragedy. I've wanted to come down and help in Joplin, but from what they're saying they've got more help than they know what to do with so I've been sending monetary donations.

  • @dc4mo Well said dc4mo. And you're right, the evening of the tornado they were requesting civilians to not go and help yet because there were already so many people it just couldn't be managed. If that doesn't show how loving and caring people are then I don't know what does. Unfortunately there always has to be those who are the devil's advocates (in this case those who would rather spread hate than love).

  • @MrBlackman8625 i hope you know what you've just said... i am a young girl who lives in the once lively and friendly city of Joplin Missouri, which now sits around me in ruins. I have lost 2 good friends, and several family members have lost their homes. Many of my friends cannot locate their relatives, and my little brother's catholic elementary school (of which i am alumni) is completely gone. All that remains is the old cross on the church. My family business, is gone... i grew up here...

  • @MrBlackman8625 You are a shame to the human race, and an especial disgrace to all black people everywhere for further tarnishing their reputation. My son and his father thank you for continuing to let racism run rampant in your heart, and letting it bitterly spew onto the rest of the world. I bridged the gap - now what have you done?

  • @MrBlackman8625 If God dont like ugly then he must DESPISE you!!!! (Hatred in God's eyes is the equivalent of Murder so keep on hating and you will be in Hell with all of the other "racist bastards" like yourself)
