I feel for the ppl in ringgold. I'm not to far from there and a different tornado came pretty close to my house but it destroyed almost everything in its path my community is still recovering.
It still shatters my heart to see this video of my hometown being ripped apart, even though I know we are rebuilding. Thank you, Trent, for posting this. (You probably remember me as Alicia Terrell, although it's Byrd now.)
@danielsouther Chill out MrGSWAGG92 is just excited to see a tornado. It's not like he's excited that it killed, hurt and scared the shit out of everyone.
i remember watching this about 10 minutes after it was put up, and I was praying and kept checking constantly for updates on Ringgold & the surrounding areas. I live in Georgia too, closer to Atlanta, but I couldn't believe the damage that was done. I'm glad you and your loved ones are okay, the people that didn't make it and their families are still in my prayers.
I am glad to finally have come across a video that didn't have someone cheerin for the tornado or laughing and instead shows the compassion that is within each and everyone of us!
@MrGSWAGG92 You're messed up for saying that. Just imagine all the people who were hurt and even killed during these storms, and you're fucking excited to see one?
@cappybritt18 Yo dont get so hostile now. Of course imma be upset if ppl get hurt in a tornado that I see but theres nothing I can do 2 stop that from happening. Besides im not the only one who cant wait 2 see a "first" tornado im pretty sure there are millions of other ppl out in our world who would like 2 see one in person...
@MrGSWAGG92 My gf has a point man. Just imagine if one came straight for your house. Just imagine what those people was thinking when they seen a f4 tornado and not be able to do anything about it. just be able to make sure that them and their family are safe. just imagine what kind of pain they felt knowing that the people they might know might not be safe. imagine all their possessions gone in a instant. and not be able to do anything.
@danielsouther Man i didnt mean 2 sound like im angry at your gf im really not. && im not saying I want a tornado "to come str8 for my house". I know it was a terrible thing 4 these people 2 lose their homes && everything but honestly theres nothing we can do 2 stop that from happening. If it happens 2 me simply b/c I just wanted 2 see my first tornado then so be it but if I do happen 2 survive being hit directly by a tornado then it will only make me a stronger person♥
@vfIskullangel Arrogant? Maybe. Atheists? Probably not. I'm athiest, and I like the fact that the man filming this was praying. To me prayer give hope to cling on to. I may not believe in a god, but I kept families, and friends in my heart during the outbreak. I even helped rebuild. To say that the people who disliked this were arrogant atheists is arrogance itself. Please use a different word instead of atheists. Thank you, and godspeed.
think God this dident hit my home boys in ringgold yall keep it real there ya hear ill pray for yall you have my love no tornado can make this community as goo as ringgold yall pray to Jess and ll do the same i love yall peace homies yall are good people it miss me by a hair i whas in lafayette and the only thing that saved me and my family is the mountins acted as a sheild think God i hope all yall find reconstruction i love yall peace
Ringgold is rebuilding, repairing, and unity remains. I hope that I am correct when I say thanks again for the kindness and support that Ringgold has been shown by people of all races, religions, and creeds
@10trentscott10 you know i thank so many for taking my kids under their arms and helping keep them safe in mcdonalds when it came through we didnt even know there was a tornado warning or watch or nothing we hadnt been home all day and all i can remember is the sound of that tornado mcdonalds glass breaking and the building shaking all i could think is god please if no one else here lives let my kids survive this
Unfortunately, amidst all of the triumph in that we came together as one, we weep and pray for those that we lost. Let us, the fine patrons of Ringgold, never forget their names.
Thank each of you for your concern regarding my family and friends. I do have family and friends that survived inside their homes as those same homes were destroyed. I have friends that were in their car the second it hit and the car itself was levitated momentarily with them in it and they survived. I have friends and family that were fortunate enough to be somewhere else by the Grace of God.
I hope all of your family made it through safely. Thank you for praying for those people there. I notice you are praying for the safety of others instead of yourself. Very unselfish.
Difference is not a weakness. We fear difference amongst our human race because we can't decipher whether or not any one person's differences are better or worse than our own. We are all unique in the eyes of whom I believe to be our Creator. My name is Trent Scott and I am unique. What's your name?
The extreme power of Prayer, simple words of kindness, countless contributions, and Pure Love were and remain the glue that has brought multiple communities together as one. I cannot acknowledge negativity, however. Words are a powerful tool and they are at times used to attack with cowardice hands; especially when one is given the option of hiding behind a screen name without revealing an identity.
A great day it would be if I were given the opportunity to shake hands and wrap my arms around each of you that felt compelled to write such kind words. I thank each of you from the depths of my being. Reflection on the past isn't always an easy thing to overcome. It is especially difficult amidst tragic events such as the storms that ripped at the hearts of countless people throughout the south.
This video and your plea to God brought tears to my eyes. It takes a true Man of God to be able to watch something like this happening so close to you and still only have concern for those in the direct line of disaster. God bless you for praying for all of the victims when you could have easily run inside to hide.
im from waleska ga, about 2 hours from ringgold and ive had 2 tornados rip up parts of my town in my time... and its taerrible i went to ringgold to work on the recovery process and i have not seen as much damage from a tornado in one small town in my life and its because you YOURS as well as everyone else that surived this tornado. GOD BLESS YOU AND RINGGOLD
i live right down the street from where the tornado hit the pizza hut and MC Donald and other stuff you could hear the tornado it sound like never ending thunder
By the way, all six of my friends in Trenton and Ringgold are strong in their Christian faith, not just believing the Gospel but living it out every day as well.
I have friends in both Trenton, GA (the first place this tornado hit), & in Ringgold. Thankfully everyone was spared, with no structural damage, just downed trees. Two women told me that workers from the Red Cross & other emergency organizations, as well as local responders, were all the nicest they had ever met, even through previous emergencies. They praised these people, & I thank them all. Why is it that it takes suffering & tragedy to bring out the best in us, individually & corporately?
I drove through ringgold today, the destruction was unbelievable!! It's prayer's like this that saved lives, I have no doubt! The guy filming this video touched my heart! GOD BLESS RINGGOLD!!
I live in LaFayette and this touching so close to home is just unreal, this storm scared me to death! This is so sad and you done the right thing by praying....Thank you for sharing. My Fiance is buried in ringgold, right behind Ruby Tuesdays...Cant wait till we are allowed in ringgold b/c I gotta go see if his grave is messed up. My heart is with everyone in ringgold!
Your prayer was so touching that it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting this video, despite knowing some would ridicule it. I pray they come to know Him who can speak and even the seas and winds must obey!
my dad lives in ringgold we were real close to it.I prayed 3 times!we said it was ok to get out.my dad tried to call my sister she lives right by bedford place.a lot of people thought thier couldnt be a tornado.but i did.if you watched the news you may of heard about the Black family.They died.the tornado was 4 houses down.I could of seen it.but them dagum trees were in the way.that night we went through riggold.it was demolished.I know a lot about tornadoes!!!
It tore up our house pretty bad we live off of Alabama (151) Highway off Dedmon but were lucky we dont live near the high school or by all the resturaunts.
Those two bastards, sons without a (Heavenly) Father, die every time they encounter someone who is perpetually alive in Christ, and you know how many times they say cowards die... There are FAR more Christians on this Earth than simply 1,000; more to the tune of 2.2 billion... the decay from that many maggot feasts will render them so repulsive a display before the Holy Judge that ONE look upon them will inspire nothing but insight, not insult, instructing you to pray for them.. they'll need it.
@thelunknownl You consider yourself a "Christian" with a mouth like that? That's hilarious. You should crack open your bible, dear, if you think that's how you're supposed to talk about people as a Christian.
i keep getting mail to where u can donate all red crosses across the u.s is taking up donation and 422 popular springs road 706-965-4461 its a church by food lion in ringgold,ga
I haven't had cable or internet since the storm and wanted to see what vids are out here. I have to say THANK YOU for praying for ME! We were praying inside our bathroom and "GOD is faithful" was being repeated over and over. It makes me so humble to know that someone else was praying FOR US and not only for themselves.
@tptmk yeah i live in ringgold,ga as well and we havent had cable or internet since the tornado our selves they say its suppose to be back up today but i haven't seen nothing yet :( but the hot spot on my android is ok for now but slow like dial up
I want to personally thank the man who vidoe-taped this. I was in the Mcdonalds in downtown Ringgold working the night it hit. It was the most scariest thing I have ever had to endure. That was the longest night of my life. It's because of your prayers and many others that I am alive today. Being in there I can truthfully say there is no FREAKING way any of us in there should be alive but yet we all made it out without a single scratch on us. But anyone reading this know that GOD IS REAL!!!!!!
My husband and I did the same thing in our closet trying to keep our kids safe from the tornados that just kept coming right for us on the radar, but we said"now there is a man that loves the Lord!"...So nice to hear somebody Trust in Jesus! Really liked your Faith.
Hardness of hearts has kicked in so many with lack of faith just so refreshing to hear.Bless you! And all the people who suffered that day,God be with you.
i have lived in ringgold my whole life... i saw the tornado come through. i have watched this video many times since it was posted and every time it brings me to tears. i used to love to look out my window every morning and see my beautiful view of the ridge and the town, now i see mangled trees and destroyed buildings and it breaks my heart... still can't believe this happened.
aw god bless :( i'm in Fulton but that was horrible. When i heard about this I cried. I prayed for everyone. I agree with this comment: Your reaction is the most compassionate, unselfish, courageous reaction I've ever heard behind a camera videotaping a tornado. God bless you and your thoughts towards other lives. God be with the victims of these devastating storms crossing our country and the great people in Ringgold. I hope you and your loved ones are all safe and everybody else ♥
Thank you for sharing this video but thank you most of all for your sharing your faith and compassion. It is truly what makes a difference during times of tragedy. God bless you!!
@sunkintovelvet i totally agree and i start to cry remembering how dark the sky was, the storm, running to get in the car when another tornado had touched ground and getting to neighbor's house..its hard to explain to those who hadn't experienced it and this shows just a bit of what had occurred...its hard to believe 8 states had been through this all at same time something we all went through together
i live in east tn in monroe county and felt each and every tornado that ripped through here... and its not something i want to ever repeat for a long time...great footage and hope you were safe as well
I live in ky now and we were very fortunate to miss out on this line of storms.I used to live in Lafayette in walker county and i sure miss it down there and want to move back in a couple of years i hope.I'll just say that we are praying for all of you and your community will recover.Sometimes it takes a tragedy for us to realize how close we all really are.Brothers and sisters indeed.What time i was living there i must say you folks were some of the kindest people i have ever met..God Bless you
linuxluver........please take you atheistic misery elsewhere. While you choose to live and die a lost soul, the majority of us continue to pray and worship God as those in our nation always have. I get so tired of those who refuse to believe crticizing and betlittling those that do. Be miserable on your own....why try to drag others into your misery.
@rtb2425 Your assumption that I'm miserable is just more thing you've chosen to believe that isn't true. Believing stuff that isn't true is the main reason the US is going down the drain today.....But all that aside, it was sad to hear that guy pleading to the all-powerful, all-knowing "God" that caused the tornado....to save people from it. Bizarre. Weird.
@linuxluver Why is it interesting? I'm sorry but if you think that an 'all-powerful and all-loving' God should not allow bad things to happen then what type of a world would we live in? If only 'good' things happen then the word would lack meaning. And then at what point should God stop intervening? Giving mankind free-will means that there are costs - unless you think our free-will should be neglected when "bad" things happen. Use reason before you bash faith.
@linuxluver I don't think that you are miserable. I just think you don't understand. But either way, now is a time to comfort people who are hurting, regardless of what you believe. As a person, you should understand compassion. We are asking for words of encouragement, not a lecture on theory. Please have some respect for the people here.
You touched my heart! i said the same thing as i sat on my porch and cried. My friend david was in ringgold at that very time, my heart was breaking. It hit us bad. we're in flintstone. we just got power accually. this was an awful day
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the tornadoes. Ringgold is such a lovely little town. Very kind people. I have stopped at that exit many times on my way to TN from here in Douglasville, Ga. Please know that we are all going to do what we can to help you in this time of need. I am so,so sorry for what you are going through.
Trent this is Alicia (Terrell) Byrd. I don't know if you remember me from school. You were doing exactly what I would've been doing - praying, praying, praying!! I hope your family was OK! Mine was, thank God!!
I am not the praying type, but hearing the emotion in your voice sent a chill down my spine. It just sounded very honest and pure and I hope all the victims can pull the pieces of their lives back together and carry forward. Thank you for risking your own life to document history. Bless everyone affected.
I was there after da tornado many got injured and many died it's destroyed there I still can't believe that happened it was terrible the most scariest thing in my life
this sounded like a freak train is the only way i can really put it i don't even know how the winds didnt really blows this man off the porch they was 175mph it was a f4 tornado :( glad you was ok tho and not in harms way and this is going to be a memorable thing you recorded for us so many of us didnt want to see it at first and i found it for my family and friends they wanted to see how it looked
@maridentha Actually, the Ringgold tornado has just been upgraded to an EF-5, which means it had winds in excess of 200 mph. As for people like 'linuxluver' and 'SmellsLikePSU', leave 'em alone; you don't have berate them or attempt to make them feel bad about themselves for not believing in the Most High... God. I read both of their initial posts, and the sense of overall emptiness and unfulfillment conveyed by both is so pungent even my breathing was depressed instead of COMpressed.
@thelunknownl actually if you read all my post you would know i said i believe in god and was telling someone not to condemn this man for praying for us in ringgold i am assuming u didnt read all the way to page 10 my very first post to this video....and according to news channel 3,9,12 wall post and i read it because ringgold where i am has no cable yet it was a ef3 when it davis ridge road and was a e4 when it hit downtown ringgold and remained a ef4 throughout cherokee valley,dont troll me
@thelunknownl and if you would like to reread my posts they go from this page all the way to page 10 because i think my friend your either reading where i commented back to someone belittling this man for praying but my posts can be found on pages 1-10 so either learn to read and understand the conversation or dont reply to someone if you have no clue to what is even being said and to whom
@maridentha I think you grossly misread my comments... The only part of either of them that was directed towards you was the part in the first one concerning the upgrade to EF-5, which was confirmed by FOX5 news yesterday (the source from which I obtained that info). The rest of that comment and the following one was directed towards two members named 'linuxluver' and 'SmellsLikePSU', NOT towards you in any way; you made it clear that you believe in God so I had no issue with you. It was THEIR
@maridentha comments I was referring to, not yours. In addressing you in my initial comment, all I said (or all I meant to say) was that you didn't have to trouble yourself or waste any of your time/energy scolding either of the two aforementioned members in an attempt to make them feel shame about their views concerning God because the very nature of those two is built on shame and it bleeds through in their daily lives, particularly the words they produce by mouth and fingertip.
you know i read some of these comments ppl trying to troll ppl from ringgold,ga is unreal and saying stuff about this man praying for us i find it the most considerate thing he could had done because there was no other way for us to get out of it once it hit us it was pray and hope u made it through it and i am so happy my family did and happy to see others out and about who live here also that made it through the night this has kept me up for 2days i just dont feel safe when going to sleep :(
It is very good of this man to pray for others and not even for his own hide. I have to try to find an old friend in Ringgold now. She went out of touch with me long ago but I still think of her. Yeow.
I pray that God blesses you in life. You brought tears to my eyes with your prayers cause I have looked up a lot of footage of this tornado out break and I have heard cussing, people acting nonchalant, making jokes, and even laughing at what they were seeing. I have been praying hard over everyone affected in all of the states that were hit and it comforts me to know that I am not alone. God bless you sir.
So sad. If there was a god and he did this.....he sure wouldn't be my god. But there isn't a god. Just the fast, deadly wind....drowning out the empty, useless prayers to nothing.
@linuxluver your an ass my family survived this i prayed to god the whole time the whole time this was in my city and we survived it and i thank god every day that i have my kids and my husband to turn around and love on and know that we rode through hell and made it out alive so dont be critizing ppl over ur stupidity many ppl survived here in ringgold and we will pull together as a community and get it back up on its feet and help ppl whre needed
@maridentha I'm happy you survived. These events are terrible things. But that video brought it home to me how bizarre it is to be praying to same the God who caused the tornado to save people from it. That just seemed sad. It all makes much more sense if this was a weather event - pure and simple. End of story. Pray if it makes you feel better.....but I've been around long enough and seen enough to know it's just luck that makes a difference. I'm sure the dead prayed too.
@linuxluver dude u believe how you want and i am sure the rest of us will believe how we want pure and simple and it's all you have in times like we have
@linuxluver ur a selfish devil worshiping bitch who needs to get over them self oneday ull know how it feels to lose everything u have and not being able to do anything about it this man was obviously kind and considerate.
I would like thank you personally for praying us in the video. The second explosion in this video was the hotel my wife 8 month old and myself were in. Prayers like yours allowed us to walk away. GOD BLESS!!
@gasurvey69 I'm crying as i watch this. I live not very far from Ringgold. but far enough that me and my family were safe. I want to also thank 10trentscott10 for his prayers, for i know they were sincere and heart felt. My thoughts & prayers go out to all of those who have lost loved ones and homes from this destruction.
@gasurvey69 God was with us all when the storms went through. We had some bad stuff up here in Athens and I'm glad you guys were safe. I also would like to thank the owner of this video for his prayers.
for those sending me messages about helping you can go to fort orglethorpe georgia lafayette georgia and ingles parking lot in ringgold for the red cross to give them clothes shoes blankets pillows diapers can foods noodles things that doesnt need fridges drinks etc and kids little kids they say are really scared being displaced so they could use maybe some little toys to play with while in shelters all over fort o and ringgold
@maridentha Also, Chatsworth is sending a lot of their donations to Cleveland. If you want to donate there go to Childcare Network on Duvall Rd. in Chatsworth, GA. May God Bless them all who were hit.
my family is very thankful we are fine i am very thankful god kept us safe my kids my husband all i could think about was plz dont let nothing happen to my kids take me instead i cried and cried and cried then seeing this just omg it was really bad we hid i didnt want to view it but seeing it just makes me realize just how much danger was in that the news said it was a f4 tornado which i cant watch the news been keeping up with them on facebook we dont have cable they got our power :)
I live off exit 348 we dont have cable and internet where i am.thank god for a hot spot for everyone here that needs it can connect to it.....but we hid in a closet could hear ppl screaming and crying and things bashing and crashing into buildings it was the most aweful thing i could had ever went through i had my kids in a closet with mine and my husbands bodies bent over them keeping them safe as possible i still cry it was the most aweful thing i have ever been through in my life
I live in south metro Atlanta, and we got a hefty dose of the storms as well but no tornadoes, thank the Lord God. I truly feel for all of my fellow GA residents who were affected and/or killed in the midst of all of this craziness. May the Creator create new lives for those people from the now dark and formless voids of their old ones, as well as cloth for the garments of those killed from the very clouds they passed on their way back to Him.
This is the first time I've seen the full 2 min. video. I saw a shorter version, and passed it on. I am from Fort O but live in Brooklyn now, and I broke down about 17 times yesterday. Watching this today tears are streaming. Thank you for sharing this. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this devastation.
If anyone reading this has a business in the area, please consider donating essentials for these people. We have. The local fire dept can direct you to donation drop-offs.
@SmellsLikePSU Well it could have saved my life. The tornado came through my town, jumped right over my neighborhood, and dropped down and killed more people. Don't say stuff like that.
I used to be in a scout troop up there, troop 99, does anyone know the shape of the United Methodist Church next to Chow Time? I wish I could do more but I am in finals right now. I'm praying real hard.
@MsAirsoftGangsta hannah its scary i was ballin sayin 2 my step mom im gona die lori she had 2 pull tha car over jus 2 calm me down i mean i dont kno wat 2 do ive never been ina tornado
The recovery process is in full force here in our beloved town. The same is occurring throughout the Tennessee Valley and the volunteer efforts of our citizens and emergency crews, alike, is absolutely inspiring. Thankyou for your continuous prayers for the entire southeast
@10trentscott10 I m so happy to hear prayer towards God for his hand in this storm in protecting people. Trent I live in Jasper and we missed a few close brushes of tornados ourselves. I will try and come help if I can. This really brings tears to my eyes; and for those who did not get hit by this storm close by please remember ... God is our peace in the mist of a storm! Jesus Christ is alive and he is in control. Trent, keep your prayers on your lips. God bless you my brother... Chuck
@10trentscott10 i live in hixson, TN . I drove to ringgold yesterday. It's horrible . someone let me know when they are letting people go in the town. i heard that they may be have no road blocks by the end of the week .
I live in chattanooga, and we happened to be very fortunate, but the devastation around town is just incredible. I work in east ridge, and it took me close to an hour to get to work today, all my normal routes there were just blocked by trees. One of my employees wasn't so fortunate and lost everything. I used to live on the gulf coast, and this was seriously like a hurricane hit our town.
@leonhart423 it was aweful it just came out of no where i hid in the closet with my babies praying if it happened to destroy my home take me and my husband and leave my kids and i am very thankful to see some from ringgold,ga are fine we are fine thank god it was a aweful ride for sure and seeing the disaster is just unbelievable but i am happy to see a lot did survive it but most have lost their homes and cars and family memebers :(
your humanity is a beacon of light in these bickering bitter scary times- may your town recover and come back strong as ever! All respect to those who lost their lives and suffered through this monster tornado!
Ole Boy was seen on NBC telling them how he was holding up the wall when the roof of his place came off. His quote: "Well looky there, I can see the sky".
I live in Dalton and was in Ringgold two hours before all of this happened. I am glad I made it home in time before all of this hit. But it makes me feel horrible about all of the families who lost their home and lives.
Thank you for the prayers! I grew up here and my family still lives here too! I grew up right on dedmon rd and my moms house was damaged...be with all the families Lord!
I've lvd thru 4 tornadoes n GA my homes state, Hurricane Isabel up here n my home VA now &Trop. storm Gaston a fw yrs ago.

Your reaction is the most compassionate, unselfish, courageous reaction I've ever heard behind a camera videotaping a tornado. God bless you and your thoughts towards other lives. God be with the victims of these devastating storms crossing our country and the great people in Ringgold. May it, at least, serve to bond us closer together and appreciate each other more.
@DreamsNChains i hid with my babies during this i was so so so happy to see so many ppl today in ringgold,ga giving a helping hand where needed it was the most aweful thing to happen to us as a community and i couldnt be more thankful today that my kids husband and myself survived this f4 tornado it was terrifying we could hear ppl screaming things bashing and i wanted to help but had to stay in a closet to protect my kids i was just praying god took us and left my kids here but we are great

i remember watching this about 10 minutes after it was put up, and I was praying and kept checking constantly for updates on Ringgold & the surrounding areas. I live in Georgia too, closer to Atlanta, but I couldn't believe the damage that was done. I'm glad you and your loved ones are okay, the people that didn't make it and their families are still in my prayers.

@cappybritt18 Yo dont get so hostile now. Of course imma be upset if ppl get hurt in a tornado that I see but theres nothing I can do 2 stop that from happening. Besides im not the only one who cant wait 2 see a "first" tornado im pretty sure there are millions of other ppl out in our world who would like 2 see one in person...
MrGSWAGG92 3 months ago
@MrGSWAGG92 My gf has a point man. Just imagine if one came straight for your house. Just imagine what those people was thinking when they seen a f4 tornado and not be able to do anything about it. just be able to make sure that them and their family are safe. just imagine what kind of pain they felt knowing that the people they might know might not be safe. imagine all their possessions gone in a instant. and not be able to do anything.

@danielsouther Man i didnt mean 2 sound like im angry at your gf im really not. && im not saying I want a tornado "to come str8 for my house". I know it was a terrible thing 4 these people 2 lose their homes && everything but honestly theres nothing we can do 2 stop that from happening. If it happens 2 me simply b/c I just wanted 2 see my first tornado then so be it but if I do happen 2 survive being hit directly by a tornado then it will only make me a stronger person♥

@vfIskullangel Arrogant? Maybe. Atheists? Probably not. I'm athiest, and I like the fact that the man filming this was praying. To me prayer give hope to cling on to. I may not believe in a god, but I kept families, and friends in my heart during the outbreak. I even helped rebuild. To say that the people who disliked this were arrogant atheists is arrogance itself. Please use a different word instead of atheists. Thank you, and godspeed.

Unfortunately, amidst all of the triumph in that we came together as one, we weep and pray for those that we lost. Let us, the fine patrons of Ringgold, never forget their names.

Thank each of you for your concern regarding my family and friends. I do have family and friends that survived inside their homes as those same homes were destroyed. I have friends that were in their car the second it hit and the car itself was levitated momentarily with them in it and they survived. I have friends and family that were fortunate enough to be somewhere else by the Grace of God.

Difference is not a weakness. We fear difference amongst our human race because we can't decipher whether or not any one person's differences are better or worse than our own. We are all unique in the eyes of whom I believe to be our Creator. My name is Trent Scott and I am unique. What's your name?

The extreme power of Prayer, simple words of kindness, countless contributions, and Pure Love were and remain the glue that has brought multiple communities together as one. I cannot acknowledge negativity, however. Words are a powerful tool and they are at times used to attack with cowardice hands; especially when one is given the option of hiding behind a screen name without revealing an identity.
10trentscott10 8 months ago
A great day it would be if I were given the opportunity to shake hands and wrap my arms around each of you that felt compelled to write such kind words. I thank each of you from the depths of my being. Reflection on the past isn't always an easy thing to overcome. It is especially difficult amidst tragic events such as the storms that ripped at the hearts of countless people throughout the south.

This video and your plea to God brought tears to my eyes. It takes a true Man of God to be able to watch something like this happening so close to you and still only have concern for those in the direct line of disaster. God bless you for praying for all of the victims when you could have easily run inside to hide.

I have friends in both Trenton, GA (the first place this tornado hit), & in Ringgold. Thankfully everyone was spared, with no structural damage, just downed trees. Two women told me that workers from the Red Cross & other emergency organizations, as well as local responders, were all the nicest they had ever met, even through previous emergencies. They praised these people, & I thank them all. Why is it that it takes suffering & tragedy to bring out the best in us, individually & corporately?

Those two bastards, sons without a (Heavenly) Father, die every time they encounter someone who is perpetually alive in Christ, and you know how many times they say cowards die... There are FAR more Christians on this Earth than simply 1,000; more to the tune of 2.2 billion... the decay from that many maggot feasts will render them so repulsive a display before the Holy Judge that ONE look upon them will inspire nothing but insight, not insult, instructing you to pray for them.. they'll need it.

I want to personally thank the man who vidoe-taped this. I was in the Mcdonalds in downtown Ringgold working the night it hit. It was the most scariest thing I have ever had to endure. That was the longest night of my life. It's because of your prayers and many others that I am alive today. Being in there I can truthfully say there is no FREAKING way any of us in there should be alive but yet we all made it out without a single scratch on us. But anyone reading this know that GOD IS REAL!!!!!!

Bizarre. Weird.
linuxluver 10 months ago
@linuxluver Why is it interesting? I'm sorry but if you think that an 'all-powerful and all-loving' God should not allow bad things to happen then what type of a world would we live in? If only 'good' things happen then the word would lack meaning. And then at what point should God stop intervening? Giving mankind free-will means that there are costs - unless you think our free-will should be neglected when "bad" things happen. Use reason before you bash faith.

maridentha 10 months ago
@maridentha Actually, the Ringgold tornado has just been upgraded to an EF-5, which means it had winds in excess of 200 mph. As for people like 'linuxluver' and 'SmellsLikePSU', leave 'em alone; you don't have berate them or attempt to make them feel bad about themselves for not believing in the Most High... God. I read both of their initial posts, and the sense of overall emptiness and unfulfillment conveyed by both is so pungent even my breathing was depressed instead of COMpressed.

@thelunknownl actually if you read all my post you would know i said i believe in god and was telling someone not to condemn this man for praying for us in ringgold i am assuming u didnt read all the way to page 10 my very first post to this video....and according to news channel 3,9,12 wall post and i read it because ringgold where i am has no cable yet it was a ef3 when it davis ridge road and was a e4 when it hit downtown ringgold and remained a ef4 throughout cherokee valley,dont troll me

@maridentha I think you grossly misread my comments... The only part of either of them that was directed towards you was the part in the first one concerning the upgrade to EF-5, which was confirmed by FOX5 news yesterday (the source from which I obtained that info). The rest of that comment and the following one was directed towards two members named 'linuxluver' and 'SmellsLikePSU', NOT towards you in any way; you made it clear that you believe in God so I had no issue with you. It was THEIR
thelunknownl 9 months ago
@maridentha comments I was referring to, not yours. In addressing you in my initial comment, all I said (or all I meant to say) was that you didn't have to trouble yourself or waste any of your time/energy scolding either of the two aforementioned members in an attempt to make them feel shame about their views concerning God because the very nature of those two is built on shame and it bleeds through in their daily lives, particularly the words they produce by mouth and fingertip.

@maridentha I'm happy you survived. These events are terrible things. But that video brought it home to me how bizarre it is to be praying to same the God who caused the tornado to save people from it. That just seemed sad. It all makes much more sense if this was a weather event - pure and simple. End of story. Pray if it makes you feel better.....but I've been around long enough and seen enough to know it's just luck that makes a difference. I'm sure the dead prayed too.

Your reaction is the most compassionate, unselfish, courageous reaction I've ever heard behind a camera videotaping a tornado. God bless you and your thoughts towards other lives. God be with the victims of these devastating storms crossing our country and the great people in Ringgold. May it, at least, serve to bond us closer together and appreciate each other more.
