[gopher1snake]

Poor Metra

[musiclvr7289]

sorry.. but the music is lame as hell

[lifethroughthedark]

I liked the music! That must have been crazy to see! 

[TheBlaze406]

i thumbed it down because it wasn't HD.

[Drealein75]

[ThePixelChaos]

least ya didnt turn the cam sideways or upside down lol. decent vid.

[bluewitch73rn]

Crazy!

[WHTEOUT1]

I would say that was the worst Fathers Day

[23JKM23]

I happen to find this music very heart touching and i like it alot. thank you for standing for our metra. It was a beautiful place. never again.

[camarofan95]

Great video but there is one problem. Everyone is focusing on the Metra, what about The auto glass shop that was completely leveled? The laundromat and dance studio and Reiters Kawasaki that was totaled? This city needs to realize that its more than just the Metra that was destroyed, there was devistation all throughout Billings.

[todamnbad]

@camarofan95 I would have got footage of those other building but i was only able to get to the metra, this video was taken about an hour after the tornado and i havent been able to get back to the heights to get more.I didnt pick the metra because i like it more then any other building.

[camarofan95]

no worries, its just thats all that we are hearing on the radio and in the papers is Metra Metra Metra

[Surena13sss]

@todamnbad i loved that laudry mat it was the bestin town

[Surena13sss]

@todamnbad i loved that laudry mat it was the best in town

[todamnbad]

@2daniel14 Read the more info box, i didnt edit the video as much as i wanted to, i wanted to get it up as quick as possible so that people could see what happened

[62636263c]

Amazing how it just seemed to set there on the stadium and rip it apart. Almost like it had a purpose or something. Crazy.

[flyingkoala]

I think that the music is a little bit too dramatic.

[todamnbad]

@flyingkoala Well if i would have used Yakety sax people would have really been mad so i found one that was a little more serious, sorry if you or anyone else doesnt like it.

[dieselplow]

Why/When did they rename it the Rimrock Auto Arena? That is so lame.... It has been a few years since I have been back, that arena was cool but it will be rebuilt quickly - it was time for a new / larger one. The flooding is a shock also - I never would have expected so many areas to flood over this weekend.

[DonObeWan3]

Play me a dirge, matey...

I've visited there many times. It'll get a new rood and new seat cushions- hopefully.

[DonObeWan3]

@DonObeWan3 Oops, that's 'roof'. No disrespect intended. It's a gereat facility. Lots of good memories there.

[nikisnickers73546]

i used to live there in billings. and i heard it from my friends like five times what happened. i feel bad for all you people, but i'm glad that i wasn't there.

[videogamelper]

i was less than a mile from that!

[klm7858]

Hey, I agree with bamfrunner---the music was just the right touch as a funeral dirge to the loss of an awesome building---and there wasn't an event going on, thank God!

[capitalistpigdogus]

Wow. The Metra got as destroyed as my ears. This audio is horrendously annoying. Thanks for the video, though.

[LoveShelties1]

Thank you for posting this.

I was born and raised in Billings and have been so worried about all of my family and friends. I hope that everyone is safe..

[andreaalbin]

Don't forget Reiter's, the laundry place... a lot more than that took damage.

[drdickweed]

the only buildings that took serious damage were the casino on the corner, the glass shop, and the metra.

[8210X7SITRI]

I saw Aerosmith and AC/DC here in 1978.

[rezgirl11]

nice footage =] you should check out my videos, i got film of some bad flooding, btw. awesome music..

[PlanetBierwagen]

Wow! 300+ views... pretty good... lots of people interested in any info/footage they can find. Where were you @ to film this? I heard that the Applebee's was "destroyed" is that even close to true?

[amuto128]

@PlanetBierwagen i think so cuz its very close to the metra

[XLightningclawX]

@PlanetBierwagen When we were driving home, no one in our car saw anything wrong with it. It seemed perfectly fine.

[todamnbad]

@PlanetBierwagen The applebees is ok, i took this video from there parking lot

[PlanetBierwagen]

@todamnbad Ah... yeah... we took a drive out there tonight to see what we could see. I was just curious because I kept hearing about all of these rumors about what had been damaged/destroyed... and the media didn't seem to cover any of it but the f'n metra. Oh, yeah... for some reason KSVI tried to call me on the day of the tornado... though it might have been a wrong #/mis-dial.

[Smiget1117]

what is up with you people the metra was a big part of billings and you guys are useing it for intertanment

[KorbenNightfire]

@Smiget1117 There's other great things in Billings then just the Metra, It needed remodeling anyway.

[dancebaby434]

My dad left Billings like 3 hours before this tornado hit

[oneyouh8]

I can't wait to see it in person next month when I'm there for vacation.

[spears234]

this music makes it worse! makes more people sad that we lost our great intertanment

[bamfrunner]

An open air arena just in time for summer. Dark funeral music adds a nice touch. Glad its nothing money can't raplace.

[oneyouh8]

It was time to update that building anyway. The sound sucks in that place.

[Gothicogato]

@oneyouh8 Yeah I agree lol
