    0:24 imagine hiding in your basement and the foundation above you gets ripped away, that has to be the most terrifying thing one can experience
  • @glennkrieger
    To see a room with a clock still hanging on the wall, and a bedroom next to it, is just heartbreaking. It's someone's dear home.
  • @BoneMamaAZ62
    Unbelievable. My heart goes out to all of you who were affected. Just terrible.
  • @cher4705
    Part of what is unnerving about this drone video is the utter silence.
  • @Ghost_Hybrid
    It's a miracle there were no fatalities. Thank you for your coverage.

    The randomness of tornado destruction always amazes me. Some houses are in splinters while others not that far away are still standing.
  • @scarter8137
    It’s shocking how some homes are flattened and others go barely unscathed! Prayers and the fortitude to rebuild their lives 🙏🏼

    My brother lost his home and buildings near Treynor, IA from this storm. I've driven thru Minden many times, and this is unrecognizable.

  • I was watching this live unfolding as it happen... This truly is a day, I as a Canadian thousands of miles away will never forget... My heart goes out to those affected by mother natures beauty and fury. No words one human being can say may ease the heartache and pain of those who lived thru this story shall give it justice.. Only with time will the wounds of the heart , mind, body and soul heal.... My deepest prayers to everyone on April 26th 2024 across the many states touched by these storms.

    I grew up 8 miles away from this town, and vividly remember June 26, 1976 when it was hit by a tornado (I was 11 at the time). My heart sank when I heard the words "tornado emergency" and "Minden" put together today. 1976 pales in comparison to the damage I'm seeing in this video.

    Sincere prayers to my fellow Iowans that you all recover quickly. May God bless
  • All of that empty surrounding land, and it had to go right through everyone’s lives. This is so heartbreaking. Sending my love and prayers.
  • @cascabcs
    Pray for strength and love and kindness and for all who were affected....😢

    That wedge tornado was 1.35 miles wide when it hit Minden. We watched it form and head straight for the town on Ryan Hall Y'All.
  • @TheMoosepainter
    We were watching this unfold via Ryan Hall's live stream, from Pennsylvania. A tornados utter destruction is just heartbreaking!
  • @g-bgcg
    My heart goes out to everyone affected by the many tornados in Iowa, Nebraska, Texas and SE Kansas. Many prayers to all of you.
  • What has always gotten me is, how the Tornado can completely destroy some homes, while others yards away aren’t even touched. Some of the foundations were so bare that you couldn’t even tell there was a house there. 😢 Prayers for all. 💜🙏🏼💜
