The Moment Mayfield, Ky Was Hit By A Massive EF-4 Tornado...

My sister in law lost her life in the Mayfield tornado. I was searching for more information on the storm when I happened upon your UAclips channel. I’ve been getting my long range forecast from you ever since…Thank you for all you do!

Seeing ryans usual “dont be scared be prepared” turn into “yeah you can’t hide from this one… sorry mayfield :(” is kinda terrifying

I live in Bremen Ky. Our little town was decimated during this storm, and your coverage and warnings quite literally saved the lives of myself and my three children that night. I am forever grateful for you and the work you do on your channel.

From one Kentuckian to another, Ryan, we owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for your accurate, nonstop coverage of those terrible storms December 10-11. There is no doubt in my mind your advanced warnings saved lives. God bless you so much! You are one of our most trusted weathermen and the only one we watch live during severe weather! ❤️❤️❤️

You absolutely saved many lives that terrible night!

I was in Bowling Green at a rehab clinic when these storms hit. Our counselors and nurses woke us up in the early hours of the morning and directed us to shelter. It took until now to find out that one of our counselors was watching you stream when they told us that Mayfield was gone and we were next. The most surreal experience of my life. Thank you for all that you do, you saved lives that night.

Ryan, this was the first video of yours that I had watched. I turned it on well before it struck Mayfield and had intended to just watch it for a couple minutes to see what was going on as I live in central Ohio and wasn't concerned about storms that night. I couldn't turn it off and watched in horror as it went through Mayfield. I'm a firefighter, structural collapse tech and have construction experience. Your broadcast prompted me to pack up and make the 8 hour drive to help at day break. It was like nothing I have ever seen. I met some wonderful people down there and continue to pray for them as they recover and rebuild. I now check out your videos on a regular basis as you have restored faith in your field. Thank you!

I’m in Bowling Green. This is the night I discovered your channel. We live in a mobile and had gone to stay with my parents who live in a much safer house. The first round fizzled out by the time it got to us. That’s the way it goes most of the time for BG so I decided to go ahead and go to sleep. I figured, as a lot of others did, that the next round wouldn’t be anything bad either. As I lay there trying to get sleepy, I was on TikTok and happened across your live. I watched as this right here happened. I remember you talking about a building that collapsed which turned out to be the candle factory. I shared the live with my mom before I passed out. I ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep total before being woken up by the alarm screaming in my ear that there was a tornado warning in my area.
My mother stayed up watching you till the warning came in. When my alarm went off, she was in the process of waking up my boys so we could get to our safe place.
I kept your live on my phone and we had our local station on the tv. When the tv went out, you were still on my phone updating everything. They live just a couple of miles from the news station so when our electricity went out, theirs did to.
That’s when we heard it. A sound I’ve never heard before. More terrifying than the freight train everyone says they sound like. We all froze, listening as the couple of minutes it took to pass us (ended up being about a mile away from their house but sounded so much closer) seemed to take an hour.
After it was over, we breathed a sigh of relief and continued watching you and when our weather people came back on as they were outside assessing the damage, we watched them to on their lives.
Thank you for everything you do. My youngest son (12) is now a weather head ever since that night and watches you all the time. He says he wants to be a meteorologist now ❤️
We depend on you now more than our own weather people, lol. You do an amazing job helping to save lives and bring awareness to the dangers that severe weather may present.
I fully believe you helped to save many, many lives during our 12/10 & 12/11 tornado event because when the local news/weather channel gets blown out, you are still there on our mobile devices.

Thank you Ryan for your coverage that night. My immediate family lives along the I-69 corridor in between Mayfield and Paducah. I’m in central Ky and your channel helped me be aware of the danger and contact them ahead of time. A storm that big there isn’t much you can do though. Fortunately the storm missed their houses, just barely.
Thanks again. Without your stream popping up in UAclips I wouldn’t have known what was happening out there.

I live in Mayfield, KY, and was at work at Casey's when this hit. We couldn't leave, and I didn't hear about your channel in time to listen to this, but since then, you've been pretty much the only weather person I listen to. I know you saved numerous lives that night in my hometown. Thank you so much.

This guy saved so many lives. Including my grandmother in laws life, I am grateful to him, my husband Tomohisa is extremely grateful, our kids still have their great grandmother thanks to him.

This was so unreal that If anyone, who did not know your channel beforehand and had just tuned in when this was happening, they probably would have thought this was a simulation…kind of like War of the Worlds….sadly it was far from that … hoping those affected can recover to some normalcy. Kudos to you for all you do.

This storm was the first storm that I tracked from nearly start to finish since Cookeville, TN's EF-4 tornado back in March '20. Watching it in Mayfield and knowing it was in a direct path to my family in Madisonville had me terrified. I would bounce back between Paducah, Louisville, and Nashville trying to get an idea where it was. That is the storm that has pushed me into going back to school for meteorology. That this is what I want to do. Ryan, I'm so glad I found your page. I watch every weather update you post and if you're live, I have you playing. Thank you for all you do. I can't wait to be able to do the same in a few years

I was in Benton Ky watching this while I was working at Walmart. The scariest moment of my life came when the storm came through shacking our air ducts and ceiling. I had watched your stream for almost the duration of my Walmart shift that night. You did an amazing job keeping us up to date on what was going on. Being in Walmart without windows and a view of the outside, you helped me know what was coming thank you. I watched you even before some people knew you did weather with your former line of work, but I much more enjoy listening to your new videos. This storm changed our lives forever

I was watching your live stream for hours and watching this tornado evolve and seeing mayfield moments away from being absolutely decimated and knowing we were about to witness history-it was one of the most unsettling feelings I have ever felt, watching from my privileged vantage point, with access, and awake while so many were asleep, unknowingly about to be rocked by the sheer force and destruction of this tornado.
To anyone who knows anyone who was impacted by this tragedy, or to anyone who was personally impacted-my heart goes out to you all.

It makes my heart pound just watching this... I had no idea a tornado was coming right for us until it was just about here. Had to hide in the bathtub with my 3 year old. It was so surreal looking outside the next day when we finally had enough light to see the damage that had been done. Seriously one of the scariest things I've ever been through in my life. Had I been watching this, I would have been more prepared. I literally turn this channel on every time there's a storm now so I can see what's going on.

I still can’t fathom tracking and watching this tornado occur, definitely one of the most intense tornadoes ever… despite the rating it received

This is the night I found your channel. As I have family from Benton to Henderson KY and was so concerned for their safety. Your coverage of this storm was by far better than any national broadcast. Thank you for what you do. And you were correct. The town of Mayfield was practically destroyed.

I lived through a direct hit by this F4 I am 1/2 mile by air to Cambridge shores at KY LAKE. Marshall County Breinsburg....it was the most horrific storm I've ever been in. I've rode out other tornados and hurricanes but this was extremely traumatic for me and my 17 year old son. God saved us that night. Our landscape in far western KY is forever changed for 128 miles of damage. Our local meteorologist on WPSD 6 out of Paducah also said they had never seen a storm like that ever on radar. It tracked from Mayfield to Benton and then to us at KY LAKE...literally unreal and traumatic. Thank you Ryan for sharing this because, I'm a subscriber of yours for over a year and didn't get to rewatch this sequence. All my friends and family watch you now too. Thank you again for all you do 🤍🤍🤍 YOUR COVERAGE SAVES LIVES 🙏

This was a long night. So many people are thankful for the coverage. Love these shorts!

*When Ryan is speechless you know something is wrong*

As someone from Evansville I was shocked when I saw the damage and how close it was. I was able to see some of the damage firsthand after the tornado missed my friend's house by a few hundred yards in Dawson Springs. Really put it in perspective how bad it was

Seeing this again makes me so sad. I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where we were struck by almost F5 (it lacked 10 mph to have been classified that way). Joplin was the same year. Nothing is left after these monsters. You can't survive them. You must hunker down or better yet, go to a strong shelter. It often takes some time to get to safety. And time saves lives. You give us time. I've been telling EVERYONE about your channel. You've been so effective at communicating the danger. Thank you.

I was watching this from Scotland, and I was unnerved at the size of that thing. We get bad weather here but nothing to this level. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you saved lives that night.

This is hands down the absolute worst feeling as a storm chaser/hardcore weather nerd like myself. Seeing this on radar... getting the word out as much as possible... and that no matter how hard you try even when it's your best, just knowing people are about their lives and theres nothing you can do about it. It's just such a gut wrenching feeling.

I remember hearing about this one. I used to live in Kansas and hearing the news of this gave me the exact same feelings I got whenever I heard about Moore, El Reno, and lets not forget Andover this past month. My deepest condolences to anyone and everyone who lost their loved ones or homes in this monster.

I had subscribed to you about 2 weeks before this storm hit..I was listening to you that night and put my family in safest place we had with mattresses on top of them before it approached. I hit my knees in prayer for protection and was very blessed that we were kept safe from harm. Many thanks for the coverage that night.You were ahead of our local weather..Thanks again from Mayfield..

Over Christmas, I came down from Illinois to visit my mom in western TN. Our route took us right through Mayfield. On our way down, we had to take a detour around the town but the tree damage was still crazy. I remember seeing a whole tree uprooted and tossed up into the top of another tree.
On our way back to Illinois, we had the opportunity to drive directly through Mayfield. People often describe a tornado's damage as "looking like a bomb went off" and it's not far from the truth. The shattered apartment complexes, town hall with a section of roof missing, it reminded me of pictures of Stalingrad. And that's not to mention that there were multiple bare slabs right on main street.
I would also like to point out that while Mayfield was shredded, the communities in Tennessee that were hit aren't getting near enough attention. The communities of Tiptonville and Samburg on Reelfoot Lake were totally destroyed by an earlier tornado from the same Mayfield storm. Dresden, Tennessee was smashed by an EF-2. And while Mayfield got plenty of help from the federal government, Tennessee's governor never bothered to declare a state of emergency so the people impacted in Tennessee never got the help they needed.

I live in one of the neighborhoods that was directly hit that night in Bowling Green. I just want to say thank you for your coverage leading up to all this. I really wish I had found your stream before that night, we might have all had a little more warning. Our local weather completely dropped the ball, we had no warning of this until it was almost on top of us. They were broadcasting but just telling everyone it was a “severe storm” until they lost power, it hit the power substation right next to my house right after they stopped streaming.

I live in mayfield and was watching you when this happened. Thank you for saving lives.

You did such an amazing job through this and all this crazy weather we're getting down here in the south and the east....my heart went out to you when you could see and hear your pain from what you saw happening. It awful to not know how to fix it...I understand that completely. Bit please know you helped SO many, helped them SO much earlier then if they'd waited for other news, changed their life for the better and gave them a fighting chance that they absolutely wouldn't have had. Always remember that because I know everyone that listened and will always remember how you did everything you could, early on, to get people to safety. You make such a difference in our lives, a real difference even above just loving your weather channel and trusting it and enjoying it...but a true difference. Thank you for that. I know it takes a toll on you physically when you're in there for 11 hours or more at a time and several times a day when needed...but it probably also take a toll emotionally. Just know you're appreciated and you make a big difference in our lives!!
And your family as well...you clearly have a very supportive family and we appreciate them so much as well for helping you help us!! Thanks to all of you!!
Gosh...I still have goosebumps from this and remembering it live...so awful...but its so amazing that you had been warning everyone about this SO early on and with growing followers we can all be making call and warning loved ones and friends in these areas, which is pretty cool. So, again...thank you!!

I’m from Australia and had only just discovered your channel when this tragic event unfolded. I watched the entire live stream and was truly amazed and impressed by your dedication, knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond to save as many lives as you possibly could. God bless and keep up the amazing work Ryan, what you do is so important and so very needed. Now I make sure I catch every notification of yours to make sure I tune in as I have many American friends spread out across the country and with your live stream am able to help keep everyone informed of what’s happening and where by sharing the link.

I was effected by this tornado I lost power for 2 weeks and lived in a motel and every house around mine was flattened I'm lucky my house only suffered minor damage but prayers for anyone who had worse 🙏

Thank you from a mayfield center of the path survivor. We did not know of you then, but did get warning and hunkered down as best we could in our bathroom and prayed. It was unbelievable sounding both right before and during! We now watch you often and wanted to say a big thank you to you and everyone who helps warn us, much love and shalom!

I lived in Eddyville, KY for a few months last year and my step mom was still there when the Mayfield tornado passed through. She lives right on the Twin Lakes, and she watched that tornado pass by her house less than a mile to the north. The pictures she sent were unbelievable.

I live in KY. I was watching this that night and have since made Ryan Hall a top source for weather information. I honestly feel that he is as about as good as anyone.
The thunder that this storm made thunder I have ever heard. It was constant rumbling explosion like I have never heard. You could hear it coming miles away in our house even. I was laying in our basement with our two kids and my wife. The power went out and I said to my wife “it’s here”. All we could do is pray that we didn’t take a direct hit. We were very lucky that the path was about 1.5 miles from us. Surveying the damage the next morning was unreal. It’s a night and day I will never forget. It has changed my outlook on tornados forever.

I happened upon your channel the night of Dec. 10, 2021, while looking for weather information for extreme northwest Tennessee. I'm 74 years old, and I was truly scared that night. I was watching when you were telling people in Mayfield to get in their safe place. The tornadoes that night destroyed Mayfield, and also, Samburg, TN, on Reelfoot Lake. I wish our county and Samburg could have been warned, too. We get our weather coverage from Paducah, KY, and they don't pay much attention to us down here. Thank you for helping people stay safe.

When you say raining debris I recall a friend of mine posting a photo on Facebook of a prom picture that she found on her driveway in Cincinnati Ohio that came from mayfield. She was able to contact the owner based off the info on the back of the photo and get it back to them.

I'm a Meteorologist and I was watching this from The Weather Set at my Television Station in Sunny So. Cal. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was in complete awe. I got out my Cellphone, went to UAclips and tried to pull up a Local Television Station to see how they were handling this. I was hoping to get some local news. The first Webcast that I came across was your's and I started watching and I have been watching ever since. I'm sure that a lot of people have read my story of Surviving The Xenia F-5 & being in Tuscaloosa Alabama on April 27th, 2011 Shooting A Movie when that Monster Hit. I'd been a Child Actor & intended to Act for life. But my April 3rd, 1974 experience peeked my interest in Meteorology, thus I Majored in Meteorology. I've Chased Tornadoes & I'm Retiring From Television Weather and I'll Chase during Tornado Season and Produce some Documentaries, then book Acting Jobs through the rest of the year. In L.A. Co. We have had Tornadoes in So. Cal., but small & rare. Forecasting here is more complex than most people think. We have Six Forecast Zones in this County. You can only imagine that isn't all "Sunny and Clear with a High of 80°." But in December, I found Ryan Hall, Y'all and Clicked On to Check It Out! I was impressed. I was still hoping to find some News out of Kentucky. I kept contacting Our News room asking if they heard anything from The Ky. Tornado Outbreak and They were telling me "No, Nothing." I made some Phone Calls and got a little information, but in The Areas hit I wasn't able to Contact Their EMA, Law Enforcement Officials or Television or Radio Stations. I realized that probably there was Widespread Power Outages & Phone Company Computers Were Slammed by Calls from Concerned Family Members. I was desperate for News that I could put on The Air. In L.A. a large portion of The Population is from Somewhere Else, a Portion from Arkansas, W. Tennessee and Kentucky. I wanted to bring them some News From Home. I knew that if I couldn't get through by Phone that They Couldn't either. Finally, The News Room called me and said that They had some News and Video from The Wire Services and They'd put a Package Together for Our 11:00 pm News. But I've made Ryan Hall Y'all my Go To for information about Severe Weather Outbreaks.

I live in Clarksville, that was probably the scariest night of my life and it didn’t even hit us, thank god. We got a couple touch downs here and sirens kept going off that night but knowing what was potentially headed for us was terrifying. I’ll never forget that morning and turning on the news to see the devastation. My heart broke for all those people and my condolences are with you all.

Ryan I know this one was probably pretty hard for you to talk about because of this tornado impacting people in your state. Thank you for all you do and never stop what your doing.

This is where you SHINE Ryan.... your broadcast of this storm was amazing to watch. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

Just rewatching this and it brings back horrible memories of walking through that town after. Unbelievable what the town looked like after it. Scared for life

Such a sad and devastating night. Praying for all those that were3 affected, and hoping they are rebuilding, and can heal from this disaster. You were the one I watched that night, thank you Ryan for helping so many.

I hadn't discovered your channel yet when this occurred, but I remember waking up the next morning and hearing about a tornado being referred to as "the quad state tornado'. It broke my heart to hear those words being used because I knew people had died, didn't even have to look it up to know that. I watched the entirety of the stream for the first time a few weeks after, It is horrifying to watch it churn right through Mayfield. Heartbreaking.

Such excellent coverage, so incredibly second-by-second in the important moments of US weather history. I shuddered watching this, and I live in NH.

I can't imagine the fear people felt when catching a glimpse of the actual tornado illuminated by lightning. How incredibly sad.

I drive from Dallas to Chicago every week&on Friday night we usually get to i-55(via40 east) in Arkansas and we were able 2 stay away from the multiple severe weather threats the whole way to Chicago thanks to your channel that night.really appreciate what u do Mr.Hall!

Our house was hit by a smaller tornado that night and we are still waiting on repairs to our house. I discovered your channel the day after this, and I trust your forecasts over our local news. Thank you Ryan. Keep saving lives through your forecasts! I have never seen weather and high winds this bad in my 40 years of life. I don't know if this is due to climate change or Revelations but eventually we all will have storm shelters in the South.

I live in Louisville and I didn't realize how bad the storm had been until the next day. I have 4 children and one is terrified of storms, but I'm usually the one outside filming when the sirens come. During the summer after this one though, I dug us a 7'x4' shelter tall enough to stand in...probably still gonna be out there w my camera but now ALSO watching you tell me when to take shelter!

This storm system made you my weatherman. The way you covered it and gave understandable explanations was great.

My brother and I watched this stream all night until this storm passed us at 3am. We’ve been watching you since. Thank you so much for what you do

This felt like April 27 2011 all over again. I watched live as the F4 blasted Tuscaloosa and Birmingham that’s how I was introduced to James Spann. And this outbreak I watched live and I was introduced to Ryan here and Nate Snyder who also had great coverage of the outbreak. Watching these live was very heartbreaking and humbling knowing people were going to die and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

So scary watching all this unfold!! Mayfield is my hometown and it just breaks my heart!! Between your accuracy and our local Paducah weatherman, the exact track you both made, was truly on point!! My heart just goes out to so many that lost so much! Never in my lifetime would I ever think something like this would happen❤️

I'm still freaked out by this. I'm freaked out that it happened during December of all the months, I'm freaked that it happened like this at all. Either way I am not looking forward to spring, the snow can stick around as long as it wants. Just makes my heart hurt still.

I live in Denmark and was watching Reed Timmers' stream that night as the quad-state supercell formed and then went to bed probably quite early in the lifespan of the Monette EF4. I woke up, checked Discord and saw someone posted a link to a tweet saying that over 50 were feared dead. I started really tracking tornadoes and TCs in about mid-2019. There are a few times when doing so where you wake up to find a violent tornado went through a populated area or a hurricane exploded into a category 5 right before landfall and your heart just sinks. This was one of them. And then there was also the Bowling Green tornado. Horrible month to end a horrible year.

I live in TN and I was glued to the channel that night. My heart was praying for all the person's in that path. Tears filled my eyes that night and today while rewatching this. Thank you Ryan. I've been watching you since December but not "the" day. I think after then but glued since!

I was just watching the live footage and so many of these places should have had over an hour of real warning. I like that you told people, to charge your cell phones and other practical things to do. I am absolutely horrified that the emergency warnings happen the very second the tornado enters the area. The ones who have an hour can do things like calling a neighbor, eating a meal, putting on extra layers of clothing.

That radar return that showed that debris ball was frightening! I feel bad for everyone that was impacted by the tornado as a whole.

Thanks for covering this in such great detail. I live 12 miles outside Mayfield, and we avoided any damage to our property, but still got the shit scared out of us. My car had been parked with locked up brakes for 7 months, I couldn't even move it if I wanted to, and the winds were strong enough to push my car back 5 inches in the driveway.

I'm out here in Bowling Green, Kentucky and while the tornado probably wasn't nearly as strong when it hit Mayfield and benton, it still hit the town pretty strongly and somehow completely avoided the university. Depending on where you go in town, there is still major signs of the tornado that had gone through.

That was so scary to watch. Imagine how it felt for the people who live in those towns. May the living and dead both know peace.

just to think that people were losing their lives as i sat here and watched this unfold . being a central kentuckian, waking up the next morning and seeing the devastation took my breath away. thank you for bringing light to this event.

This was a jaw-dropping storm, so wild, I'm glad that you tracked this and I'm glad I tuned in

I had the opportunity to be traveling from MO to E. TN about 14 days after this event. Drove through the central Land Between the Lakes area, just west of Mayfield, KY. I had completely forgotten about this storm. Wow, just wow, the breadth of destruction from obvious tornadoes passing through the mid-section of Land between the Lakes was incredible to say the least. Crews were out cutting trees to clear the roads. Hey! It was really eerie to be there for Christmas 2021, no one was there, but destruction everywhere. We could not exit the park toward Mayfield since roads were still closed due to tornado damage.
So much devastation in W. KY, but St. Louis also got hit. Within about 15 mile radius of my place, 7 tornadoes touched down that night. Lives lost both to the west (Wentzville, MO) and east (Amazon facility roof collapse killed workers west of Edwardsville, IL). Downtown St. Louis is a major weather anomaly as severe weather frequently splits to the north and south and I can be the dummy who continues to stand on my balcony filming the approaching bad weather. My weather experience that night:
uaclips.com/video/oog61Ui-A9g/відео.html

This was the scariest thing my family has ever experienced. The sheer damage that was caused is in fathomable. It sounded like a freight train crashing through

Watching this live made me speechless. It was incredible. I am sure you saved lives that night. Watching your honest, concerned, and compassionate coverage of this horrible tornado event was amazing . You are really good at talking to people in a language they can understand. The moment the storm chaser or meteorologist begin to speak in "technical weather speak" people stop listening. Thank you for what you do!! My family is riveted to your channel during severe weather....whether it is in our area or somewhere else

It truly baffles me just how accurate you were with your correction of the moderate risk area. That was an insane night. We spent a lot of time in our closet that night here in Memphis, and Dresden, TN, which is 15 minutes away from my college town of Martin, TN, got absolutely pummeled. Almost a year later, there's STILL leftover damage, and you can still see that there are houses that were aboslutely destroyed. It's heartbreaking, and there was a gas station that i've been to many many times and it was unrecognizable.

I was in Madison County KY and remember hearing the sirens going off at 3:30am in the morning hours of December 11th. I remember being absolutely terrified alongside my family because I didn’t know if it’ll hit us or not. RIP to all the people who lost their lives. ❤️

This was a horrific storm and a lot of people lost their lives sadly.

The Mayfield Monster was how I found this channel. Gut wrenching. The coverage was phenomenal.

I was watching this live. Did a great job on this Ryan 👍 Tomorrow is gonna be another one of those days I think. Predicting baseball size hail and isolated supercells I hope you go live!

Ryan folks need you. Thank you for all you do.

What's up Ryan. I'm from NE Ohio right next to Cleveland and 8 days after the Mayfield disaster, I went with a group of people from ohio to mayfield. He stayed in Ashland. OH and then didn't stop again till Elizabethtown, KY. After Elizabethtown, we drove to benton and mayfield with 13 trailers full of gifts, water, Hay, everything. We helped so many kids out that lost their christmas due to the tornado. I do have some pictures of us going there, It was truly heartbreaking to see everything. We stayed in Mayfield but did go through Benton and it was insane, everything was gone. Just wanted to share my story :) (I have pictures of everything)

You absolutely nailed it with your tornado forecast. Paducah (not far from Mayfield) and Bowling Green! Also including parts of northeastern Arkansas which were in the path of the first large tornado that night.

At 3:30 in the video the tornado was right beside my house, about 200 yards away, I didn't have damage to my home, but all my neighbors on the right side of our road were hit. Later the tornado hit the local airport and I lost my plane, we felt lucky that is all we lost considering what others lost. When the tornado got to Clinton and Cayce Ky, we left , we knew the best thing was just to get out of the way, normally I do not advocate getting in a vehicle while there are tornado's in the area but we had plenty of notice and time with this one. We called family and told them to do the same, thankfully they listen because my daughter in laws home got hit. Folks the pictures do not do justice to the amount of damage.

I live in Muhlenberg County and it was terrifying knowing that some of my friends were so close to it. I've driven by the damage path and it was about 5 minutes away from houses of people I know.

this is heart-breaking that more folks don't even have internet, that don't get to hear Ryan. I'm watching today Feb. 18th, and the aftermath of the tornado on Mayfield as everyone now knows, was horrific. God bless you Ryan for the warnings you gave, we can only hope all of us can "share" your info with more people now, and in the future.

I am in Elizabethtown, KY and I also received a tornado emergency. Seeing as how I never dealt with a tornado emergency in my 25 years, I truly and honestly think that was the most scared I have ever been in my life and still suffer today from an EXTREME fear of any kind of inclement weather due to this day alone. I actually get physically sick. I wish I discovered this channel a lot earlier. I will be checking in tomorrow just so I can keep my wits about me and be extra prepared. Thank you for all you do!

While I hadn't began watching you at this time, I'm certain your broadcast saved many lives. We live in Marshall County and although we were in our basement that evening, we had no idea how close it came to us near Kentucky Lake. So thankful for your service to so many communities!

This was some amazing weather reporting. Thank you Ryan

I remember this night. I live in northern KY and we had tornado warnings all over. We made it through unscathed but hearing everything through the radio was terrifying.

I found your channel that very night when we lost coverage with the local weather channel. We took a fair bit of damage from those storms here in Bowling Green and you were definitely a life saver for us not having any other means of knowing the path the storms were taking. We also assisted in mayfield the following week and I’ve never seen anything like it in my 36 years, pictures and videos didn’t do it justice. The bulk of the city looked like it had been bombed, and miles of trees down, damaged homes, etc. definitely a storm that won’t be forgotten by anyone who was in its path.

I found your channel when I moved to Tennessee. It's amazing how little timely information is available in the internet world. Yours is the only place I've found that had ongoing information about what was happening around me. I was south of that tornado - about 55 miles from it's closest path. It was still terrifying and I was grateful to have your channel on my phone as my family huddled in our basement under two separate tornado warnings.

5:39 I remember seeing this on a radar app that I was using at the time of the tornado. It absolutely tore my heart apart.

I live in Henderson Kentucky which is a couple of towns north and I can’t believe how bad this was. I’ve never seen tornadoes where I live so I’m shocked to see it was a Ef 4. God bless the people who lost their lives.

I was in Union City TN watching for the tornadoes when this happened. I was also watching your stream to keep updated because it was faster than the weather service. These tornadoes missed my home by 6 miles.

You called it Ryan. You saved many lives. God bless you for what you do. Thank you for that !

I live near mayfield and my family practices meteorology. We went storm chasing that night. Truly a terrifying tornado, I’ve traveled and seen many devastating storms but that was by far the worst.

Here in southeastern PA we have had several tornados hit the area last summer. It was frightening. We are not used to this crap. I can't even imagine what the people go through in that area. I am so sorry for all affected. This has been quite the year and I hope everyone remains safe this year.

What this guy does is incalculably valuable. And this video is ironclad proof.

Live in Lagrange, not the first tornado warning or watch I've been through but definitely the scariest. We hid in the basement closet for about 4 hours with a portable radio from the 90's, radar pulled up on one phone, weather channel another and news on a different one. We got missed thankfully but as soon as we heard where it hit it scared us. Bad night overall

That night is when I found your channel! I have been following you ever since! Thanks for all you and your team do

this day was just surreal. Even though I was nowhere near it, I was watching it on radar and NWS' twitter the entire time and I was at a wedding.. hearing reports of casualties coming in and at the time I couldn't believe how bad it was.. and it kept going and going and going

Amazing coverage Ryan!! We responded to Dawson Springs from Ohio shortly after the storm hit. The devastation was unbelievable, but the community came together like nothing I've seen before. Kentucky is definitely strong 💪
We have a story to tell about a discovery made while searching. We attempted to reach numerous news agencies but nobody wanted to cover. The discovery makes this storm seem even more difficult to understand. Everyone that lost someone or something please continue to stay strong! God bless.

I drove right through the damage in Mayfield on NYE on my way to Nashville. My heart dropped even weeks after everything occurred. Studying storms since I was a kid and seeing this first hand was eye opening. I even saw the small amish farm that was partially destroyed just east of the city.

This was the night I found your channel. I remember I had been driving around with my daughter looking at Christmas lights. It was an unusually warm night and in the Chicago suburb where we live it got so foggy we had to call it a night early. I'd been looking at weather videos earlier and you came up on the algorithm. Since our weather was so odd that night I tuned in. The horrified concern you had made me realize it was something big. I was on from when the stuff fired up in Arkansas and Missouri.

I watch you instead of my local news station for bad weather because I know watching you means I'll get an advanced warning if something is heading my way.

I live near Paris Tn and this night was terrifying. One of the tornados touched down near us and moved north into Ky. We were up most of the night too scared to go to sleep. Watching channels like Ryans. It wasnt until they said we could go to sleep did we finally.

Even though this is no longer considered a historic quad state tornado, it is now believed to be two tornados at different times that tracked along a similar path, I still appreciate the video. I enjoy seeing these sort of meteorologist breaking things down and giving us more detail than most weather channels provide.
