  Please excuse some audio cuts in the center for the video while describing the situation. This was an oversight on my part.

  I remember the meterologost Andy Hill breaking down in tears as he warned everyone of the impending tornado approaching Rolling Fork, and as the news came in of the terrible devastation. Thank you for producing such a respectful and sensitive video. It breaks my heart to see peoples homes torn apart when inexpensive technology already exists to produce safe tornado proof homes. I do hope all re-building will explore this vital safety feature for their future.

  Just now getting to the part about the disrespectful teenagers and they’re just another breed of human beings altogether. Props to you for maintaining your composure and thanks to all of you for doing everything you could to help.

  I was down there at Rolling Fork and arrived 10 minutes after it hit. It was worse than I could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, due to how rural the area was it didnt seem like EMT showed up for about 45 minutes. However, there were a lot of chasers that were able to help and most definitely saved lives. I remember carrying countless amounts of people out on doors, I will never forget what happened that day.

  My husband and I went to Rolling Forks a few days after to volunteer...from the road off of 61 it was fine, just a farm field, a water tank with the towns name on it, all looked normal...but about a half mile down we came smack dab, in your face, utter distruction until I felt all the air was sucked out of my body and I couldn't breathe, my husband stopped and we didn't have to cry, the tears just began to flow like we had no control...it took us 30-40mins to get to the volunteer area, so much debris, the smell of wet, wood, oil, dirt was overwhelming...I will never forget Rolling Forks as we plan to go back, they have become family.

  My uncle, David Moore, died from this tornado. He was driving the red truck that is shown from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAWTHdJ7dI&amp;t=3020">50:20</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAWTHdJ7dI&amp;t=3038">50:38</a>.

  The sheer devastation of this storm will forever live with me. I lived in Rolling Fork, brought all my babies home from the hospital to our home there. Now, it’s gone. The house was demolished and we moved away.

  It absolutely disgusts me to my core, that there are people out there so empty inside... they literally derive a twisted sense of excitement from seeing mangled bodies and horrible carnage. But those same people as you said are the first to post these horrible photos for all their friends and family to see and get to be the center of attention for a day or two over a tragedy that didn&apos;t even affect them truly. Shame on them, and whoever raised them. Good on you for maintaining composure in a situation like that and not completely losing your sh-t on them. I would have been slapping phones outta hands..It kills me someone had to learn of their partner&apos;s death from some ignorant, dumb, teenager screaming &quot;hey come look at this dead body!&quot; like their dead body was an attraction at a zoo. This whole tornado was a completely different beast, and the devastation it unleashed in 1 night will be felt for decades to come.

  These lights seen spinning in the tornado are so weird and terrifying at the same time. It has to be headlights from a vehicle bc I doubt a drone would be seen from this far away.

  Very well done guys. As a Mississippian, it&apos;s scary, heartbreaking, and just plain terrifying every time a tornado goes through, but this one was especially heartbreaking and terrifying. I&apos;m glad the folks in Rolling Fork had y&apos;all there to help them. It comes across clearly in this vid and in your voice that y&apos;all really care and that&apos;s no small thing. On another note, I really really don&apos;t know how the hell you and the guys around you kept it together with those kids. I know you probably won&apos;t directly call anyone out by names, but I do hope the community knows who they are so maybe they can be taught lessons in empathy and compassion or to stay the hell away from disaster areas.

  Much respect for telling those teenagers to &quot;get the f**k out of here!&quot; Those punks had absolutely no respect and were more focused on chasing clout than trying to help the victims of this violent storm.

  You EMT’s are awesome! You didn’t even have to stop and do that! It’s people like you that makes this a better world.
