  1. Praying for all those who were affected by these severe storms. My niece lives in New Orleans and this is so scary to see. I pray everyone was able to get to safety and there was no one injured! 🙏🙏🙏

  2. Must be at least an EF-3 but likely an EF-4 as it wrapped a car around a tree like a piece of cheese and lifted an entire house and tossed it on another house. Makes Jaws seem tame, comparatively speaking.

  3. The tone of voice is cool as a cucumber. Like a stroll in the park

  4. Me: "What kind of weapons will they unleash upon us next?" 🤔
    New Orleans: 🌪

  5. it looked like it was moving extremely fast. I'm not sure I've ever seen a tornado move that fast

  6. GOD protect all involved. These things are getting stronger and stranger looking. This one looks like it has arms. That isn't lightening in my opinion. Looks like electrical connections and discharges and we should all know by now what they are connecting too. Good luck, stay close to God. Bring as many to Jesus as you possibly can, I know it's very hard to do but so important right NOW. TIME IS SHORT. Love you brothers and sisters, God bless you all with strength and peace.♥️🙏🕊🙏♥️🙏🌎

  7. A note to people criticizing the response the meteorologist had, tornados of this magnitude are extremely extremely uncommon and rare here, not to mention capturing one live on one of the weather cams, watching this last night play out almost immediately after where this video cut off she immediately started warning people to get to safe spaces and such immediately and kept track of it, her initial delay was just probably shock from such a rare event, we are used to hurricanes here not tornados, and watching this station alot she is one of the best in the area

  8. U can hear the concern for folks in Margaret’s voice. The best meteorologist in Nola!

  9. Looks like there's 2??

  10. This is gonna be a fun summer

  11. 100 people would have died before she said what was going on. Not warning people is the party it is going, talks slow, doesn't talk about specifics like it's the 1st time she's seen one, pathetic.

  12. World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us

    We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.

    This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.

    The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.

    It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.

    The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.

    Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.

    The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.

    Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.

    In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.

  13. the scariest part about a tornado is when you cant see it at night

  14. This is very rare that large tornado hits populated cities such as New Orleans. The weather pattern has become more violent and unusual in recent years.

  15. Holy crap. New Orleans needs a break from mother earth .

  16. Horizontal suction vortices coming off the main vortex. That tornado was violent.

  17. Russian, twister gun: is a fault

  18. Deve ser ….uma emoção forte…apresentar o jornal..e ver ao vivo

  19. Saints loose this game

  20. Looks so creepy, like something out of Stranger Things.

  21. I guess the point of no return in climate change is here

  22. K, she is terrible…Someone needs to get her some help with her tornado terms for starters. I sure hope she is just a newsreader and not a meteorologist. 1- Multiple-vortex wedge tornado with a horizontal vortice. Not a tornado with other tornados spinning around it blah blah blah

  23. I live in the northern-mid-west at no risk of anything tornado related but here i am binge watching news about this (& yesterday). I love youtube.

  24. There are manyyyy more to come. This Summer, there’s going to be record highs. Mark my words. Along with Hail in the summer all across the USA. Brace yourselves!

  25. New Orleans seems pretty far south for a tornado like that to form.

  26. The Mainstream has two points of view: "The Mainstream point of view and the wrong point of view" … It's just that some people check the facts and another fact-supported – reasoned opinion appears. This is what Lara Logan does!

  27. "Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
    and He will deliver you"
               Psalm 50: 15

  28. Tornado in New Orleans!
