Joplin MO Tornado in Fastrip Store/Gas Station with NEW follow-up video.
Joplin MO Tornado Survivor ^ | 5/22/11 - 5/24/11 | izelsg

Many of you have probably seen the first video by now of the 20 people who sought shelter in a Fastrip Store/Gas Station during the Joplin MO Tornado on 5/22/11.

As many of you know one person that was there was recording the whole thing while the EF-5 tornado was bearing down on them. All of them survived.

The first video is here...

It is mostly audio as it was too dark inside the building. I must warn those who have not heard it yet, that it is very terrifying and it probably should not be played while children are nearby.

The young man that record it has now went back to the same Fastrip Store/Gas Station an has recorded a new video of what it looks like now and where the 20 people actually took shelter at inside the store.

Here is the new video... (what the building looks like now, where they were in the building and how they got out.)

It’s Joplin, not New Orleans.

Remarkable (hate and spite filled) comments at that clear ariel view video.

The state of Missouri was where the mass murderer, Harry S. Truman, was born, raised and lived. He needlessly murdered 200,000 people in Japan in hopes of keeping Russian from getting its part of the spoils after WWII. It didn't work. If Mother Nature blows this Christian shithole Missouri into Mexico it would be the "PREFECT STORM" delivering the "PERFECT JUSTICE".

My only gripe is the young man sold the rights (apprarently)of the first video to the sleaze at HuffPo. Too bad.

Wow...I live in Alabama, when our storms came through, I was @ school where I teach. We could hear one of the tornadoes as it touched down beside the school. It was loud and scary. Blessedly it stayed in front of the school and never touched it. We had so many tornadoes that day that sirens were going off one right after another. The worst came after we made it home. Thankfully we didn’t incur any damage to ours, just loss of power. But it is just like everyone says, it’s like seeing bombs go off. We could see trees uproot, roofs flying, brick homes crumbling. I feel for these families who have lost so much. Prayers on their behalf.

Oh my gosh, when that woman was calling out for Jesus, it’s obvious, He was definitely there.

no it does not work that way...

If a website brings more than 10000 views to a You Tube Video. The “As Seen On” is displayed with the name and link of the referring website.

further info... from you tube faqs

the “as seen on” link is not any declaration of copyright. It is merely an indication that the video has been featured on a popular blog that has driven a lot of traffic to that video. This is a feature of the YouTube itself and is done automatically by the system.
You don’t need to remove the video, it’s not an indication that anything is wrong, in fact it is exactly the opposite...your video is popular.

Wow! Those people were blessed.

I can’t help think they really aren’t waiting around for nobama to come on Sunday (maybe) to save them and help them. nobama needs to stay on vacation and let real people live their lives.
