Your Scary Stories Episode #7: Joplin Tornado one of the worst tornados ever

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.960
All right, all right, all
right, Luke, finally we're gonna get

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.359
this episode of your Scary Stories going. So technical difficulties. I was behind

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.079
on editing some video footage and man, we're a little bit late, but

4
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.600
it's good to see you, dude. Yeah, it's usually that cat that

5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.559
holds you up. That was not
the case tonight. No, no,

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.640
no, I got him out of
the way early. It's dog and some

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.880
would some would say, some would
say yeah. Then then I ran into

8
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.159
some technical difficulties right there at the
end. Actually, when you started the

9
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.240
countdown, I don't know if you
know, but I looked over in the

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.920
corner because my computer started popping up
with some sort of weird error on the

11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:52.479
mic as it was like redownloading drivers
for no apparent reason. So yeah,

12
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.200
that was a bit scary. I
was like, please just be all ready.

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.560
When I turned this mic back on, creemy part is your we're actually

14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.679
glitching in and out there for a
second. Had a demonic voice for about

15
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.799
half a second. It was kind
of creepy. Well that's unfortunate. Still

16
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.719
lagging a little bit, man,
I don't know. It must be the

17
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.519
internet in your neck of the woods. Must be the name that the alien

18
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.519
neighbor, so intersidne your internet connection? Yeah, that might be my computer.

19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.599
I'm on my computer tonight, so
Jacks Jax is hardwired to the Internet

20
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.159
and mine is Wi Fi. Gotcha? Gotcha? Maybe it'll come back.

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.920
Maybe we'll work through this glitch.
Still lacking a little bit, but I

22
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:34.879
don't know if your voice is lagging. It might just be your video,

23
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.879
which is all right. It sits
all part of the live stream. Man.

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.480
You have people popping in from all
sorts of different platforms. You're listening

25
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.920
to your scary stories, listening and
watching your scary stories live the show where

26
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.159
we share your scary stories live for
everybody to hear. I'm excited for tonight

27
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.439
because I've actually got to change it
up a little bit. So what I'm

28
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.200
gonna do for and you have two
stories, right I do? So I

29
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.400
have one big and I'm going to
split it up in three different event three

30
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.680
different breakdowns of it. So I'll
do the first part, then you'll do

31
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.560
whatever. We'll break it down like
we usually do. But that's how I'm

32
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.039
going to go through the steps this
evening. So sounds good, yep.

33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.599
Let me see if I can get
some music eto tonight, it's going to

34
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.000
be a little bit different. I
will not be sharing a story about demons

35
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.120
or goblins or ghost or deer,
which seemed to be a reoccurring thing on

36
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:38.840
this show for some reason. Deer, I don't I don't know animals.

37
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.840
But this is actually a little bit
different because and I'm curious to see what

38
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.879
you all think of this. So
yeah, make sure you let me know.

39
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.000
I'm going to share a story.
And this was actually suggested by a

40
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.919
listener. I'll give it to shout
out to Steve Carroll for the suggestion on

41
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.199
this. It is about a tornado
that hit Choppolin, Missouri. It's a

42
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.120
very bad tornadic event happened in Joplin, Missouri. And that's what I'm going

43
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.240
to share today. So what I'll
do is I'll go through the first part

44
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.000
of this and we'll go from there. But yeah, Jopolin is a city

45
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.000
in Jasper and Newton Counties in southwestern
corner of the US state of Missouri.

46
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.439
Lead was discovered in Joplin Creek Valley
before the Civil War, but only after

47
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.080
the war did significant development take place. So therefore that's how this city becomes

48
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.759
in development. By eighteen seventy one, numerous mining camps spring up in the

49
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.159
valley, and resident John Seacawks filed
a plane for the city in the East

50
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.199
Valley. Cox wanted to name this
place Joplin City, after the spring and

51
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.120
Creek that's nearby. The bulk of
this city is in Jasper County, while

52
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.319
southern portion is in Newton County.
Joplin is the largest city located within both

53
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.120
of those counties, with a population
of fifty two thousand people as of the

54
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.319
year twenty twenty. It's the thirteenth
most populated city in Missouri. City covers

55
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.199
an area of thirty six square miles, so it's no by no means a

56
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.360
small city where this event happens.
The twenty eleven chop On tornado was a

57
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.479
large, devastating, multi vortex tornado
that struck Joplin, Missouri, United States,

58
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.919
on the evening of Sunday, May
two, two thy and eleven.

59
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.199
It was the first F five tornado
to occur in Missouri since May twentieth,

60
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.600
nineteen fifty seven, when a F
five destroyed several suburbs of Kansas City.

61
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:26.839
It was the third tornado to actually
strike Joplin since nineteen seventy one. On

62
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.240
the evening of May twenty first,
twenty eleven, at excuse me, eight

63
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.360
pm Central Time, the National Weather
Service Storm Prediction Center issued a slight risk

64
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.519
of severe weather for the following day
for much of the upper Plains in the

65
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.120
Midwest. By eight am the following
day, on the twenty second, forecasters

66
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.000
at the Storm Prediction Center realized that
a more intense weather outbreak was likely to

67
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.519
occur and upgraded the large area that
had previously been to a moderate risk.

68
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.639
Now fast forward three and a half
hours to eleven thirty am Central Time.

69
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.120
A public severe weather outlook was issued
at this time, and the outlook stated

70
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.959
that severe weather was expected that afternoon, with tornadoes, large hail, strong

71
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:11.879
wind all named as threats. At
one thirty PM, four hours prior to

72
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.000
the tornado, the Storm Prediction Center
issued a tornado watch for southwestern Missouri to

73
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:23.560
remain in effect until nine PM that
evening. The watch predicted the following explosive

74
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:30.639
thunderstorm development with a strong tornado or
two highly possible thunderstorms began developing between two

75
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.920
and three PM over southeast Kansas.
They quickly became severe and as the thunderstorm

76
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:43.560
development continued moving east, forecasters became
more concerned about tornadic development. Thunderstorm west

77
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.240
of Joplin that eventually produced the IFI
tornado was first issued at five seventeen PM

78
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.639
Central Time, seventeen minutes before it
touched down and nineteen minutes before it entered

79
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.160
the city of Joplin. The tornado
first touched down in Newton County, Missouri,

80
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.439
just east of the Missouri Kansas state
line, approximately one half mile southwest

81
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:09.560
of the intersection of South Central City
Road thirty second Street. At five thirty

82
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:16.040
four. Eyewitnesses and stormchasers reported multi
vortex rotating around the parent circulation. Here's

83
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:21.639
the tornado down several large trees at
an EF zero intensity. Civil defense sirens

84
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.319
sounded in jop One twenty minutes before
the tornado struck in response to the tornado

85
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.560
warning at five point seventeen. The
following counties were issued for that tornado warning.

86
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.480
It was Newton and Jasper Counties,
which we talked about earlier, is

87
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:42.000
where Joplin is and southwest portions of
the counties that surrounded. But many Joplin

88
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:47.160
residents did not fill the need to
react even though there were sirens. The

89
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.279
tornado and it will also cut myself
off there. There is a lot of

90
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:56.480
tornado activity in southwest Missouri. It's
Tornado Alley area, so I think they

91
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.759
probably do become a little bit numb
to this. Okay. The tornado had

92
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.519
just developed and moved east to northeast
and strength into an e F one intensity

93
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.519
as it continued through rural areas towards
Joplin, snapping trees and power bowls and

94
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:14.959
damaging outbuildings widening. The tornado then
tracked into a more densely populated southwest corner

95
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.120
of the city, near Twin Hills
Country Club. It heavily damaged several homes

96
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.079
at a subdivision in this area at
this point, up to an e F

97
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:28.160
three strength. The tornado continued to
cause EF three damage as it moved through

98
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.920
another subdivision just east of Iron Gates
Road. Numerous homes were destroyed and multiple

99
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.040
vehicles tossed around, some of which
were thrown onto or rolled into homes.

100
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:46.879
The tornado reached E four intensity just
before crossing south Scheffendecker Avenue at five thirty

101
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.839
six pm. The tornado produced its
first area of EF four damage only four

102
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:57.000
minutes after touching down, as several
small but well built commercial buildings were flattened.

103
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.240
Consistent EF four to e F five
damage was non as it continued through

104
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.439
southern Joplin. Numerous home businesses and
medical buildings were flattened in this area,

105
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.839
with concrete walls collapsed and crushed into
the foundations. A large steel reinforced step

106
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.680
and floor structure leading into a completely
destroyed medical building was deflected upwards several inches

107
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.879
in crack. Steel trustles from some
of the buildings were rolled up like paper.

108
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.439
Multiple vehicles were thrown and mangled or
wrapped around trees nearby. Several three

109
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:35.799
hundred pound concrete parking stops anchored with
reebar were torn from the parking lot in

110
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.879
this area and thrown up to one
hundred yards away. An Iowa State University

111
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.559
wind engineer calculated the force needed to
remove those parking stops from the lot.

112
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.799
The wind requirements to do that would
be exceeding two hundred and twenty miles an

113
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:56.200
hour. Damage became remarkably widespread and
catastrophic at and around the nearby Saint John's

114
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.120
Region Medical Center, which lost nearly
every window on three sides, interior walls,

115
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.159
ceilings, and part of its roof. Its flight rescue helicopter was also

116
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.879
blown away and destroyed. This caused
five casualties and nine story buildings were damaged

117
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.039
so bad and later on it would
be these buildings would deem structurally compromised and

118
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.720
then had to be torn down.
According to the National Weather Service, such

119
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.519
extreme structural damage such as large and
well built structures, likely indicated winds that

120
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.200
exceeded two hundred and thirty miles an
hour. Vehicles in the hospital parking lot

121
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.399
were thrown into the air and mangled
beyond recognition, including a semi truck that

122
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.320
was tossed one hundred and twenty five
yards and wrapped completely around a deep bark

123
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.519
tree. Small debris from hospital,
including X rays, medical reports, and

124
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.559
dental records, were found in and
the surrounding counties around that area, many

125
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.159
whiles to the east. Wind rowing
of debris was noted in this area,

126
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.440
and more concrete parking stops were removed
from the parking lot by the tornado.

127
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:07.000
Virtual every house near mcleland Boulevard and
twenty sixth Street was flattened, somewhere completely

128
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.559
swept away, and trees sustained severe
debarking. At this point in time,

129
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.960
I'm going to share the first video
that kind of goes along with these timelines

130
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.320
of this let me see coming across
the Kansas border and now just about to

131
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.320
make it to the Joplin area.
We also have some showers and storms across

132
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.600
northern Arkansas. Please do take heap
get in your tornado shelters right now.

133
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:35.039
We can't stress this enough. Okay, where you're gonna give that? Wait,

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.519
know, I know it's right there. I know. But we can get

141
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.000
closer. Oh my gosh, we'll

142
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:13.759
window. Let's do it. Okay, hold on, I'm getting big.

143
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.960
That's huge. Tell you that's going
because I'm watching a strong, large tornado

144
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.320
heading for the south side of one
and I. Chief Randalls had the advised

145
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.919
that we would be waiting before we
send anyone out for any of their vehicles

146
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.720
out for search and rescue, drinking
one big queen dream honoring Fine, now

147
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.159
you can have that line. Yeah, it kind of goes slow and don't

148
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.080
keep high out because we're not sure
where don't or where it head is a

149
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:58.039
corneto on over morning, Gary corn
over barn dream. You got a way

150
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.799
out. I don't know where I
am. I don't know where I am.

151
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.600
It's across the road, he said, Oh gosh, okay, got

152
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:13.320
it there. Oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh, there it is there

153
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.000
it is. This is doing my
and the hardest job. Man. Ask

154
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:28.240
where we're going. Joplin, twenty
six fifteen. We have a house that

155
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.440
has been struck at top of the
house has come down on the people.

156
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:45.879
Oh god, you house none none, Golvin's gone, gone right gone,

157
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:58.440
all right, you get so the
storm has just moved into the city at

158
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.600
this point in the story. Your
thoughts so far as crazy. This footage

159
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.360
courtesy the Weather Channel and National Weather
Service. Actually you got to see in

160
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.799
real time how fast this thing went
from basically like a rope string tornado to

161
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.240
a massive tornado that later we'll get
into the size somewhere, But did you

162
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.960
see how fast that happened. Yeah, that was nuts. I knew where

163
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.720
it was going because I remember when
this happened and everything. That was a

164
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.039
crazy time. But yeah, when
I saw that just now, I was

165
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.320
like, Man, you can't really
trust things not to get worse. If

166
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.480
there's a bad you know, anything
like that, you need to get away

167
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.559
as fast as possible. It was
talking about the police were not planning on

168
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.960
sending any rescue forces out till this
is over, right, which is very

169
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.039
smart, but they already had as
you saw one of the officers dash cam,

170
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.919
people that were stuck out in the
storm. That was crazy. This

171
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.600
is another thing we always talk about
these like talk about like ghost stories or

172
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.639
or other strange things. This is
truly something that's very terrifying. We talk

173
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:11.399
about EF four EF five storms.
They produced the equivalent damage of an atomic

174
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.279
bomb. Right, So what has
just started and what we've just got into

175
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.480
here is the making of something.
There's not many more dangerous things that can

176
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.360
happen in the world than what's happening. It's like in times, level of

177
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.559
damage just crazy. Yes, literally, we're seeing just right now, as

178
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.559
it starts and builds strength, we're
seeing things already getting flattened and it's just

179
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.679
now starting to enter the city of
Joplin, Missouri. This was a time

180
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.240
period where there was a lot of
storms, outbreaks and tornadoes. This year

181
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.960
twenty eleven, I'm trying to remember, and it may been the following year,

182
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.360
but nevertheless, here in Indiana where
I live, there was a one

183
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.399
in Henryville, a town in southern
Indiana. And that's actually when I was

184
00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:00.480
living in southern Indiana. There was
pretty similar damage. Kind of me back

185
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.440
in the city I was actually in
that tornado wasn't there, but there was

186
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.919
a tornado that day. Yeah,
Like it kind of takes me back to

187
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.320
where a tornado was just a few
miles from you, right, I mean,

188
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.679
yeah, I remember that. It
was like a couple of stretch of

189
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.679
a few years there. Well,
there it just seemed like there was way

190
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.360
too many tornadoes going and I remember, like, you know, thinking,

191
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.200
man, what the heck is going
on here? Absolutely terrifying. You have

192
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.120
no control over this. There's nothing
you could do besides trying to get somewhere

193
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.919
safe. I will say, though, I will say just talking about I

194
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.600
don't know the the top of my
head what the average lead time is for

195
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.639
getting a warning and the sirens and
all that. But it seems like they

196
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.639
had a pretty decent lead time here. They at least knew that. Yeah,

197
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.000
there was a chance of it early
on, but typically I don't think

198
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.960
storms even get fifteen minute people get
fifteen minute notice for a tornado. I

199
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.639
mean that, I think that's pretty
good. But still, though, you

200
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.200
just start thinking about something so bad
gonna happen. How much is fifteen minutes

201
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.720
really? I mean, you can't
get your car packed up in fifteen minutes,

202
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:08.720
Yeah, not with not with everything
that you want to take with you.

203
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.519
Yeah's actually a family you know whatever, You definitely can't. Yeah,

204
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.559
like I said, slightly different story
from what you usually do, but terrifying.

205
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.679
Man, That to me is this
is this is scary. I don't

206
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.440
know anything much more scary than this. I think I'll take your haunted deer

207
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.000
and you talked about last couple of
weeks. I got some some more similar

208
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.600
stuff to that tonight. Oh well, yeah, we'll jump back into that

209
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.840
of course here again in a minute. But yeah, I think we did

210
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.000
a pretty good jobs set in the
stage for the beginning of that very much.

211
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.000
So, yeah, that was crazy. Cuew it up for you before

212
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.320
I actually start that story. I
actually did want to address a story we

213
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:51.080
had a couple of weeks ago with
the Teddy Bear. Yeah, because Jack

214
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.000
had made some new thumbnails and stuff
like that. I actually knew I had

215
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.639
it on my work bench and I
wanted to show it real fast. This

216
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.039
little device here, Wi Fi enabled
camera that you can stick into anything about

217
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.480
fifteen to twenty dollars on Amazon anyone, except like little cameras like that.

218
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.079
So just just a river. These
things exist, They're easy to get a

219
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:17.640
hold of, and I have it
for a completely harmlest reason. Wow,

220
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.759
that's uh, I'm just curious.
I think the world want to know what

221
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.880
you plan on done with that.
Oh it's for a ghosts Okay, well

222
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.440
maybe maybe that'll be a thing,
and I don't know. Yeah, at

223
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.279
some point we'll build like an ultimate
ghost detector saying and iky camera. So

224
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.880
they have apps for that, but
I'm not sure how much I can trust

225
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.160
them, you know, I don't
at all. That's why I want to

226
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.920
make it. The messobes are around
me. Want to try one of the

227
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.440
apps though, Yeah, no matter
where I'm at, Yeah, all right,

228
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.359
floor's yours man. Yeah, So
tonight, the first story I have

229
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.519
is the second story from the truck
driver lady that I talked about last week.

230
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:59.640
She was one that encountered the White
Dog, and she's back with another

231
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.160
one. This one, she said, took place sometime after and she said,

232
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.160
I don't remember the exact date because
she's writing things, but she remembered

233
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.960
happening later on. After I was
in Nevada for the first time, I

234
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:17.480
headed up the west coast to Washington
State. It's beautiful there. The mountains

235
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.599
were simply breathtaking. I drove right
past mountain Hood and Oregon. It stopped

236
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.880
right outside of Olympia, Washington.
It is a rather quick trip, but

237
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.480
I always wanted to go back there. After my stopped in Washington, I

238
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:36.640
went south to Oregon again and straight
east through Montana to Wisconsin. I usually

239
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.039
don't get a lot of cross country
trips like that. When I do,

240
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.400
I really enjoy them. It's nice
to drive for days at a time and

241
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:47.160
just see the sights. On my
way to Montana, I drove over the

242
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.359
western side through Bowsmen, right over
the mountains. It's getting late in the

243
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.720
evening. As I crested the final
mountain into the Rockies, the sunset casting

244
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.799
a pink and orange glow over the
western sky if I can help it.

245
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.599
I never liked to drive at night, but sometimes you just have to.

246
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.839
In this slighte of work, I
rounded a bend and saw a small rest

247
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.720
area with a large gravel lot in
a restroom. Perfect, I thought to

248
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.480
myself. I slowed my truck,
put my blanker on, and pulled over,

249
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.720
parking close to the small bathrooms.
There were no other vehicles here and

250
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.920
very little traffic on the road.
It was almost dark outside, the last

251
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.599
rays of sunlight pouring through my windshield
to get myself settled in and ready for

252
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:33.279
bed, when I suddenly heard a
knocking on my door. This was highly

253
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.359
unusual. I've had people knock on
my door before, but that was usually

254
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.720
if I was parked not so legally
at a truck stop, walking someone,

255
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.119
or otherwise in the way. But
I clearly saw that there was no one

256
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.240
else here with me. I should
have been alone. I was back in

257
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.599
the sleeper berth part of the truck, so I didn't see who was at

258
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.519
the door. I was hesitant to
answer it. I stepped up front,

259
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.920
sat in the driver's seat, grabbing
my pocket knife. Just in caves.

260
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.720
It was dark in the cash or
whoever was out there, I couldn't see

261
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.119
what I was doing. I rolled
the window down just enough to see them,

262
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.480
but not all the way. Yes, I asked. The person standing

263
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.960
on the ground beside my truck was
tall, maybe a little too tall.

264
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.920
He looked more or less like a
normal man. He was wearing a black

265
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.640
and red button up flannel shirt,
blue jeans, with brown boots. He

266
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:29.400
just looked like a hitchhiker. He
looked up at me with a seriously creepy

267
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.279
smile, and I regretted rolling down
my window. Evening ma'am. He started,

268
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.440
My truck broke down a few miles
from here. I was wondering if

269
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.400
you could get me a ride into
town. He didn't stop smiling the whole

270
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.039
time he spoke. It was really
unnerving. His teeth looked sharper than humans

271
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:53.880
should be. I said, I'm
sorry, that's against company policy. That

272
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.519
wasn't a lie. It definitely was
against company policy. But there was no

273
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.680
way I'll let him into my truck. I don't need to go that far,

274
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.559
said this dude, the small town
a few miles away. Sorry,

275
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:10.519
I'm not comfortable doing that, but
good luck. I rolled the window up

276
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.480
trifle, checking that my doors were
locked. As an added measure, I

277
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.400
looped the seat belts through the door
handles and buckled them trick I learned from

278
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.960
my trainer. Man turned and walked
away, so Washington go expecting to see

279
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.599
him walking down the road. He
didn't. He stepped over a small barbed

280
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.960
wire fence that separated the mountainous terrain
from the parking lot and walked off into

281
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:37.960
the woods. I noticed something that
didn't notice before when he was standing close

282
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.640
to my truck. There was something
wrong with how he walked. I couldn't

283
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.319
place it, but it was like
his legs bent in two places instead of

284
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.559
just one. That made my stomach
churn. I really didn't want to stay

285
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.200
the rest of the night, but
my clock was out, which I mean

286
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.119
I couldn't drive it until I took
a ten hour break, so I reluctantly

287
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.359
bedded down for the night back on
my truck. Locking windows did a good

288
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.880
job of help me feel safe.
I was confident he wouldn't be able to

289
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.880
open the doors even if they were
unlocked. I was hoping the night would

290
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:17.119
go on without incident. I was
wrong. Quickly fell asleep despite the strange

291
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.240
encounter, only moments before but something
woke me up. A while later.

292
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.039
It was dark and silent in my
cab. I lay there trying to figure

293
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.200
out what woke me up. I
strained my ears to listen, and I

294
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:36.480
heard it, A gentle tapping noise
like nails on glass, and intily knew

295
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.599
it was coming from up front,
but I was too scared to move.

296
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:44.960
I had a bad feeling it was
that strange man from before. Why would

297
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.480
he be tapping on my window.
It's okay, I tried to tell myself.

298
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.880
He can't get in. Doors are
locked and secure. Good thing I

299
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.640
did, because just a moment later, I heard a large, loud banging

300
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.079
on the door. It was deafening. I couldn't I leave. The glass

301
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.160
did crack under the pressure. It
jolted me the high alert. I felt

302
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.039
my heart racing in my chest.
Didn't know what to do. I was

303
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.240
in the middle of nowhere. I
had no idea how long police would take

304
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.440
to respond. Out here all I
had to defend myself with a small two

305
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.240
inch long pocket knife, and I
did not want to open my door.

306
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.440
As I stood there, frozen with
indecision, the wild knocking finally stopped.

307
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.880
Held my breath, unable to move
until I knew whatever was out there was

308
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:34.599
gone. Heard nothing for several moments
that high pitch metal scraping sound from the

309
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:41.680
same door as a banging, and
then silence. Faintly heard footsteps in the

310
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.119
gravel that seemed to grow more and
more distant until they ceased altogether. It

311
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.799
took me several minutes to slow my
heartbeat until I got the nerve to peek

312
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:55.400
out for my curtains to see if
anything was out there. I saw nothing

313
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.200
in the small gravel a lot,
which gave me some relief. I didn't

314
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:00.279
really want to stay there for the
rest of the night, but I had

315
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:06.240
no choice. I checked my phone
saw it read one thirty two AM.

316
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.079
I cursed the guy for waking me
up and the moment myself as I went

317
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.039
back to sleep. So I fell
asleep, and luckily the rest of the

318
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:17.440
night went by silently. The next
morning, he woke up as the sun

319
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.799
was rising. Comfort of daylight made
me feel safe, even though the parking

320
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.680
lot was still empty and I was
still alone. When I stepped out of

321
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.200
my truck, staring at the oddly
shaped footprints of the pebbles, I looked

322
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:36.440
at my door on the side were
three long, thin, evenly spaced scratch

323
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.119
marks gouged into my door. They
looked at the first glance to be claw

324
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.839
marks. The more I looked at
him, the more they could only be

325
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.359
claw marks. I got the hell
out of there as fast as I could,

326
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.240
and I tried really hard to never
go through that area of Montana again.

327
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.319
This experience freaked me out a lot. There were so many things wrong

328
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.559
about the guy who talked to me
if he needed help? Oh, why

329
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.440
did he walk off of the woods? Why did his legs look like that?

330
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:11.319
All very valid questions. Man,
truck driving is so creepy. What's

331
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.200
up with near two am? That's
when bad stuff happened? Somebody said,

332
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.839
you know, here's the thing I
hear a couple different approaches to this truck

333
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:22.200
driving. A lot of truck drivers
actually prefer to drive at night because less

334
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:29.880
traffic you could kind of travel more
efficiently, quicker. Yeah, but it

335
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.799
also depends why you're hauling and where
you're taking it and what that place is

336
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.160
out. Yeah, there's a lot
of factors that go into it. But

337
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.160
a lot of times the will established
truckers alone there in trucks, So that's

338
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.519
not the case with her. Doesn't
seem like she's driving for a company using

339
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.119
their vehicles. So she had a
very valid point, which you really can't

340
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:52.079
there's probably policies against hitchhikers. There
are a few points of this story that

341
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:57.920
I feel like give it some validity. The techniques you use for putting the

342
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.359
seat belt through the door handle a
hold of shut pretty smart. I like

343
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.319
that. Yeah. Well, I
had a cousin who was a truck driver.

344
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.119
You family has truck drivers. Oh
yeah, yeah, So I had

345
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:11.920
a cousin that was a truck driver
for a period of time and he was

346
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.720
told to do that when he was
pulling off on the side of you know,

347
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.160
someplace, sleeping for the night.
And I remember hearing that when I

348
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.880
was like twelve, fourteen years old, you know, somewhere around there.

349
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.160
So it was a wild ago,
but I remember that's part. The other

350
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.279
thing is obviously the time clock.
She mentions that she needed to to pull

351
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.039
over and sleep for a certain amount
of time, and that's a real thing

352
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.359
that truck drivers have to do by
law. Oh yeah, it's pretty it's

353
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.240
it's much more enforced nowadays. Yeah. Yeah, So, like you know,

354
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:48.440
these parts of the story are definitely
true. Parts that make give it

355
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.359
a little more gravitas, you know, like a little more realism. And

356
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.200
I do believe something happened to her
there, and this is not just like

357
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.200
something she made up for the road. You know, whether or not it

358
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.960
was somebody super natural or this guy
wasn't it, you know, a freak

359
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.400
that wanted to like carve with a
knife or something into her door. Uh

360
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.880
yeah, that's whatever, but still
definitely scary. Yeah, it seemed like

361
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.640
the person really wanted to creep her
out. I don't know, like if

362
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.480
that's a full out effort to break
in, but it's definitely a very They

363
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:25.240
went very far to scare her,
to actually damage your vehicle scrape it.

364
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.160
Obviously they were trying to scare it, tapping on the door and whatever else,

365
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.079
but didn't seem like they And where
where was she parked at when this

366
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.359
happened? At like a stop,
a rest stop in Montana? Yeah,

367
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.000
so she's actually parked somewhere where you're
supposed to be. We see truckers a

368
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.640
lot of times, they kind of
park wherever. Yeah, so it's not

369
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.079
like, hey, I parked in
the middle on the on the shoulder of

370
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:51.240
the exit ramp or something. Yeah, actually parked or rest stop which is

371
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.960
made for which is made for that. So yeah, person's trolling trolling her

372
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.880
around on the rest stop. I
guess what I'm saying. It's kind of

373
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:02.480
it's it's pretty creepy. I'm sure
it's Montana, so maybe it's pretty roal.

374
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.200
Maybe there weren't many vehicles there either, you know, I don't know.

375
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:10.119
Yeah, the traffic was like that
night. Yeah, and depends if

376
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.400
you're near a capital where you're at
exactly, it could be very few vehicles

377
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.440
trucks excuse me, we're there,
so which makes it easier for them to

378
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.319
creep around her vehicle at night.
Yeah, someone said, just pretend like

379
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.599
you're asleep. I guess that's what
she did. I don't know she did

380
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.000
it first. Yeah, yeah,
anyway, can you imagine not so back

381
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.680
in the day when I hear a
lot of film members talk about truck driving,

382
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:42.160
there wasn't cell phones, cbe radio
stuff like that. So really it's

383
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:48.079
much more difficult to react back then
compared to now as far as calling somebody,

384
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.119
et cetera. But in the moment, you still though, like there's

385
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.920
a human instinct where I just need
to be quiet, not be heard.

386
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.640
And that is something that as always
the wrong thing to do. Yeah.

387
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.319
Yeah, then again, I don't
know, Like screaming and stuff might not

388
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:07.039
do hear any well, but calling
the cops or and and then again they're

389
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.119
not I don't know how quick they're
gonna be able to respond to. Some

390
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.640
of these places are pretty rule.
You get north, and especially out west,

391
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:21.119
it's much further get the bases.
It makes our neck of the woods

392
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.160
like a look like a metropolis.
Yeah, it's crazy. The further east

393
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.640
you get, you could go up
the whole East coast in like a day

394
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.720
easily. You can't just drive out
throughout the west in a day. Hey,

395
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.039
I don't know. I can't imagine
being just having all that time to

396
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.480
yourself and your mind too. I'm
sure it makes everything that much more creepy,

397
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.400
act crazier than them. Somebody said, what do you think about that

398
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.960
strategy, Luke, I actually kind
of like that strategy. Is that like

399
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:52.759
the member Mel Gibson when he did
that in signs yes to get that clip.

400
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.799
Maybe that's something we need. We
need that clip, Yes we do.

401
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:00.759
But don't they like pick up weapons
or like a baseball bat or something,

402
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.200
and they're like we're gonna run around
the house and meet each other in

403
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.000
the back or whatever. Yeah,
and he's just yelling like he's just Melgibs

404
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.279
and just shelling like I'm an I
agree man out of my mind. Yeah,

405
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.960
yeah, yelling crazy stuff. It
works, It works. Yeah,

406
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.599
whatever whatever you gotta do to get
those people out of you, you know,

407
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.119
I don't know. That was awesome. So that's pretty uh scary though.

408
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:25.599
You're on the road by yourself and
you never know what's going to happen

409
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.000
out here. So many crazy trucker
stories. That is nothing compared to some

410
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.799
of the crazy ones out there,
but to her, probably the most terrifying

411
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.400
thing. And it sounds like she
has more story. Maybe she has more

412
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:40.599
stories besides the couple you shared.
She definitely has a couple more. Can

413
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:44.519
you imagine the shit you'd see though, Oh yeah, no kidding, Like

414
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.839
having a truck or friend that'll send
me pictures of some of the people he

415
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.680
sees the rest stops. I think
you said one the other day with this

416
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.599
big old, big old man wearing
this huge night gown. Like you just

417
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.920
never know as you travel throughout the
world what you're gonna see. And some

418
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.279
of these people that are truck drivers
are truck drivers for a reason, right,

419
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.279
they might prefer that. Yeah,
they might not be the most socially

420
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.039
gifted person. Maybe they're doing that
for a reason. So I can imagine

421
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.839
it's much more weird if you're kind
of socially awkward than you have somebody trying

422
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.119
to chat you up. They want
to ride for you, then they don't

423
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.920
listen to you when you say no. So I guess it's time for me

424
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.559
to pick back up. What do
you absolutely? And I'm looking forward to

425
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:30.680
hearing more of this ornado and Joplin, Missouri, where it's reaching peak intensity.

426
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.279
As the tornado track eastward, it
maintained e F five strength as it

427
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:41.440
crossed Main Street Route forty three between
twentieth and twenty sixth Street. It heavily

428
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:48.079
damaged every business along the stretch and
virtually destroyed several institutional buildings. It tracked

429
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.640
just south of downtown, narrowly missing
it. Entire neighborhoods were leveled in this

430
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.759
area, with some more home swept
completely away, and some trees were even

431
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:04.640
stripped completely of their bark. At
the residences, reinforced concrete porches were deformed

432
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.960
or in some cases completely blown away. Damage to driveways was noted at some

433
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.039
residents as well. Ground score when
that does that to the ground, that's

434
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.319
like when they rate go back and
they rate storms tornadoes. The damage they

435
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:21.319
can just do to the ground is
part of how they rate these. So

436
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.319
the fact that this storm is destroying
the ground as significant, which it takes

437
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:30.400
a lot to do that. Numerous
vehicles were tossed up to several blocks,

438
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.039
and a few homeowners actually never located
their vehicle again. A large church,

439
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:40.160
a nursing home, Franklin Technology Centered, Saint Mary's Catholic Church and school,

440
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:45.559
and Joplin High School were all destroyed
along this corridor. The Greenbrier nursing Home

441
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.480
was completely leveled, with twenty one
fatalities occurring there alone. No one was

442
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.599
in the high school at this time, luckily, because the high school had

443
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.359
just graduated and that day they actually
had their graduation ceremony, but they held

444
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:04.119
it about five miles away at five
miles north of there at Missouri Southern State

445
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:08.519
University. You got to assume that
that's very significant and fortunate that nobody was

446
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.799
in school when this happened. I
can't imagine what it would have been this

447
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.960
is. At the school, pieces
of cardboard were found embedded in one of

448
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.599
the few or many walls that were
standing. Carboard embedded in the walls.

449
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:25.279
Yeah, that's absolutely insane. Around
the school, street beams and pieces of

450
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.400
fencing were deeply embedded into the ground
and filled near still. Fence posts were

451
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:36.319
bent to the ground in opposite directions, and a school bus was thrown into

452
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:42.000
a nearby bus garage. As the
tornado crossed Connecticut Avenue further to the east,

453
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.559
it destroyed several large apartment buildings,
a Dylon's grocery store, and a

454
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:52.279
bank. Only the concrete safety deposit
box vault remained at the bank, everything

455
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:58.160
else was completely gone. A wooden
two by four was speared completely through a

456
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:04.759
concrete curb near this locate. The
tornado then approached Range Line Road, the

457
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.440
main commercial strip in the eastern part
of Joplin, affecting additional neighborhoods along twentieth

458
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:15.320
Street in the corridor between thirteenth and
thirty second Streets. The tornado continued producing

459
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:22.000
catastrophic damage as it reached its widest
point. Tornado at this point was nearly

460
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:28.400
a mile wide cross As the tornado
struck a pizza hut on South Range Online

461
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:34.639
Road store manager Christopher Lucas gathered four
employees and fifteen customers into the walk in

462
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:40.199
freezer. With difficulty closing the door, he wrapped a bungee cord holding the

463
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.159
door shut. On the other side, he wrapped it around his arm.

464
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.239
He was sucked completely out and killed
by the tornado. When this happened,

465
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:54.719
the tornado completely destroyed a Walmart supercenter
and Home Depot and numerous other businesses and

466
00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:00.559
restaurants in this area, most of
which were flattened. Numerous metal roof trustles

467
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.760
were thrown from the Home Depot building
and were found broken and mangled in nearby

468
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.960
fields. Cars that were originated at
the home Depot parking lot were found hundreds

469
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:15.320
of yards away. Asphalt was ripped
from the parking lots of wal Mart and

470
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:20.280
a nearby pizza restaurant, and large
tractor trailers were thrown over two hundred yards

471
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:25.440
and Academy Sports, an outdoor store
along Range Line, sustained major structural damage

472
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:31.159
and a chair was actually found with
all four legs pulled first into one of

473
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:37.719
the remaining wall that was there.
A nearby three story apartment complex was also

474
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:43.519
devastated and two cell phone towers had
collapsed in During this In the area,

475
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.599
numerous cars were thrown and piled on
top of each other. One hundred pound

476
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:52.280
man hole covers were removed from roads
and thrown the ground once again damaged,

477
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.519
and a PEPSI distribution plant was completely
leveled. Additional calculations with regards to the

478
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:01.239
manhole covers by the Ohio State Universe
City Went engineer that we referred to earlier

479
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:06.400
revealed that the wind had to exceed
two hundred twenty miles an hour for the

480
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:10.119
manhole covers to be removed. Many
fatalities occurred in this area and the damage

481
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:16.679
was raided as EF five. Extreme
damage continued in this area through southeast Jopland.

482
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:21.719
Many houses and industrial and commercial buildings
were flattened in this area as well.

483
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.760
The industrial park near the corner of
twentieth was especially hit hard, with

484
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.800
nearly every building flatten. Several large
metal warehouse structures were swept cleanly from their

485
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:37.519
foundation, and several heavy industrial vehicles
were thrown up to four hundred yards away

486
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:42.400
in this area. One of the
many warehouses affected was a Cummins warehouse,

487
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:47.360
a concrete block and still building that
was destroyed. The last area of EFI

488
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.400
damage occurred in the industrial park,
and a nearby gas station inconvenience store was

489
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:58.000
completely destroyed. Many homes were destroyed
further to the east at EF three and

490
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:02.519
EF four strength, and a year
by subdivision and East Middle School sustained major

491
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:07.679
damage. Weakening and dissipated at this
point in time. The tornado then continued

492
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:14.960
on an east southeast directory towards I
forty four, where it weakened. Nonetheless,

493
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.920
vehicles were blown off the highway and
mangled near US seventy one on what

494
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:22.039
is now I forty nine interchange.
The damage and around the interchange was rated

495
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:27.639
EF two EF three. The weakening
tornado continued to track into rural areas of

496
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:34.840
south eastern Jasper in northeastern Newton County, where damage was generally minor to moderate,

497
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:40.159
with trees, mobile homes, outbuilding
and frame homes damaged at EF zero

498
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:46.119
to EF one strength. The tornado
lifted east of Diamond at six twenty pm.

499
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:51.800
According to aerial surveys, the track
length was twenty one point six two

500
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:57.239
miles long and the tornado was up
to one mile whitest point a total and

501
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.519
we'll get to this a little bit
total, one hundred and fifty eight people

502
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.800
were killed and over one thy one
hundred and fifty others were injured along the

503
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.480
path. I'll play a video now
and the next part of this will actually

504
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.519
go to the aftermath. But this
is some of the footage that was occurring

505
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.199
during this stuff we just covered Lilli
the CAZy RG twenty four hour Storm Center.

506
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.159
Homes are damaged in Joplin. One
guy just called up de says his

507
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:23.880
home was totaled. So I just
had another caller say, a couple of

508
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:30.360
houses damaged over by Saint John's Hospital. I think our death told would have

509
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:38.400
probably been much higher if it had
the down offer down Q forty forty four.

510
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.719
Well, that was a civilian using
our radio. Was a civilian using

511
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:49.039
our radio. It was three seven
feet hit Hall that she recalled from what

512
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:53.039
in her last contact with Officer Water. The last area was moving Nos up,

513
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.440
sun is up, Tarling's out,
goings down, go back the way

514
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:02.039
you came, going on on to
go east, really really bad. That's

515
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.320
going riding downtown, dropping downtown.
Watching this on your CAZy er G storm

516
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.679
track of radar, and that is
a big area concerned. Tornado warning is

517
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:37.840
still in effect until six thirty what
you got there were welcome don to church.

518
00:39:37.920 --> 00:40:20.039
We do damage the staking part.
Yeah yeah, you guys. Yeah

519
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.639
yeah. Everybody's just trying to get
through it. It's not only is it

520
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:30.960
scary, it's sad. Yeah.
These people are completely powerless, pretty crazy.

521
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:37.360
When the cop car is found,
uh destroyed in the civilians following officer

522
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.960
down on the radio, that's crazy. You hear that. You hear somebody

523
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:43.960
saying, is that a civilian on
our radio? So yeah, once,

524
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.239
what do you even do? There's
nothing you can do. You just try

525
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:47.920
to be as safe as you can. I don't I don't know you can.

526
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.360
I literally don't know what you can
do. Yeah, that's that's ridiculous.

527
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:59.840
It puts things into perspective. You
know. All times you you think

528
00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:04.079
about like different to as you have
to deal with, and then you see

529
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.599
people go through stuff like that,
and then like it's just you can't even

530
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:12.599
compare, you know. Yeah,
it's kind of like your sad stories is

531
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.719
what it should be called. To
night. It also puts my stories in

532
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.880
perspective because I'm talking about like monsters
probably don't exist, maybe, but at

533
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.039
the same time, you know,
this thing doesn't exist. It exists a

534
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:27.679
lot. It's not a damn thing
you can do about it. No,

535
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.960
And it is a monster on its
own A mile wide, Yeah, but

536
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.639
a mile white is insane. It's
huge. And it keeps talking about the

537
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.719
ground being torn up. I guess
like trying to think of the word they

538
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:45.639
use for that, but it seems
to be like if this thing can rip

539
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.639
up asphalt, that's very bad.
What else said? It grabbed the uh,

540
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.840
the manhole covers. Yeah, I
ripped out the manhole covers. I

541
00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:59.760
think it through something. What was
this here? Industrial vehicles were thrown up

542
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.960
to four one hundred yards. Yeah, that doesn't even make sense, Like,

543
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:07.719
how is that physically possible? Leveled
a PEPSI distribution plant that you said

544
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.880
the manhole covers. It takes at
least two hundred twenty miles an hour to

545
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:16.679
win to do that, and along
the way it's destroying neighborhoods. It found

546
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:21.079
a chair le a chair is excuse
me? The legs of the chair were

547
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.000
impalled completely into the wall, all
four legs. Did I also say it

548
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:29.280
put two by four through a concrete
Yeah, it said it put it.

549
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.159
It stuck it clear into a concrete
curb. Just stick it out of there

550
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:37.400
into it phyticlarly possible. That doesn't
make any sense. It doesn't make any

551
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.400
sense. But what it is is
when the wind strength is simply that strong,

552
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.280
it can happen. It can blow
a card into brick. What makes

553
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:51.599
it so scary and dangerous is this
particular storm was moving at times ten miles

554
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:55.480
an hour, which is absurd.
Typically these things will move it, I

555
00:42:55.519 --> 00:43:02.239
don't know, thirty forty fifty miles
an hour. So this storm was moving

556
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:07.559
ten miles an hour, which is
not so Imagine this wide, a mile

557
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:13.519
long wide storm moving ten miles an
hour. It's a basically probably feels like

558
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:16.320
it's sitting on you, and it
was an assault. It was a siege.

559
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:23.199
It's sucking up more and more debris
that it's then using as Basically it's

560
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:28.119
basically a deadly weapon at that point
in time, any flying around. I

561
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:35.000
mean it breaks all laws of like
what we believe is possible because of how

562
00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:37.639
crazy it is. Yeah, I
was actually looking it up while you're reading.

563
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:45.079
I had heard this before, but
it means we should bring it up.

564
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:51.639
In the US. All tornadoes in
the entire planet happened in the US.

565
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:57.559
Yeah, and everywhere else they're usually
like, yeah, zero whenever there

566
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.960
is a tornado, right, we
were the only country a planet that has

567
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:07.360
these nightmarish tornadoes there. Yeah,
they're France from some countries have had them,

568
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.440
but they're very rare, super rare. Yeh. But here it seems

569
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:14.199
to be this particular city. I
think it said it had uh what I

570
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:19.920
say, three tornadoes in the last
forty years. None of them obviously were

571
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.599
comparable with this, but yeah,
but it's it's interesting, like there was

572
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:28.559
no There's this guy on online.
This is a little bit of a tangent,

573
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.800
but he talked about how he came. He used to live in England

574
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:37.280
and he moved here and he saw
the storms we have and he was like,

575
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:42.920
what is wrong with you people that
you he would live here. It's

576
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.280
funny that you say that, because
there was a when I was looking into

577
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.840
some of this footage, there was
a guy from California that was the first

578
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:53.079
time that day. He had only
he moved there two weeks before. He

579
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.639
had never heard a tornado, He
had never been a tornado warning, you

580
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.199
know. He was I think he
said thirty something when he moved, so

581
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:05.440
this was just traumatizing him. But
he didn't even know. He was actually

582
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:07.800
the one earlier in the footage where
he said, like, where do we

583
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.119
go? And I think they went
in the closet and then the power went

584
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:14.719
out immediately. Uh, Like literally
didn't know what to do, right,

585
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:17.800
It's not something you think about unless
you're obviously we know here what to do

586
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.599
how we react those completely different.
This is a city that in an area

587
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:29.480
that's prone to tornadoes, right,
but not prepared for something like this.

588
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.800
You can't be and we'll get into
it in the aftermath part. When you

589
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:37.559
go to like Oklahoma City, there's
so many tornadoes of great strength that travel

590
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:44.480
a very similar path from like more
Oklahoma City that area, and they have

591
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:50.320
a whole other building code on how
they build home build homes there. This

592
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.840
area is not quite up to that, and we'll get into that a little

593
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.159
bit. But yeah, I don't
think you can be prepared for something like

594
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.239
this. No, and I don't
think. I don't. I don't know

595
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:01.800
if you picked up on it.
But we've also at this point in the

596
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:09.159
story identified that the fire stations have
been taken out, the hospital was on

597
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:12.840
the it was in the beginning part
of the town. And we'll get to

598
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:20.119
that in the aftermath, So systematically
this thing has it's damaged communications, their

599
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:25.280
search and rescueability. Then they're medical
say systematically Yeah, of course I didn't

600
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:30.719
mean to, but it almost seems
like it does seem like as a creature,

601
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:32.920
right, Yeah, you take out
all those things, what are people

602
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:37.440
going to do? Yeah, And
some of this footage that we're seeing,

603
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.360
obviously it's not the worst of the
things that happened. And when you see

604
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:45.880
this aftermath, it'll blow your mind. But it's because they couldn't. The

605
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.719
people that could have probably filmed the
worst are dead, to be honest,

606
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:54.159
Yeah, or didn't have probably couldn't
physically do it. So these areas that

607
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.079
we're seeing were really bad. But
I'm I don't want to say I'm excited,

608
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.840
but I'm excited to share with you
what the aftermath is, just so

609
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:07.119
everybody watching you can get the whole
grasp of it. That. Yeah,

610
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:08.960
we're live across all social media.
We have some people saying, what a

611
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:15.559
massive force force of nature, What
a scary, dangerous thing. All you

612
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.400
can do is duck and cover.
Yeah, and then somebody points out that

613
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.400
a lot of times, Yeah,
and we'll cover that a lot of times.

614
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:27.719
These things cause fires, electrical issues
and other things. What the person's

615
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.800
saying, it's a lengthy comment,
but they're saying that the this is just

616
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.119
the first part of it. It's
what comes next to and we'll get to

617
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:38.880
some of that. Absolutely, this
is a nightmare. Yeah, yeah,

618
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:44.519
I agree, man, you're up
next. All right. Well, I

619
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:50.840
got another spooky story that doesn't have
to do with horrors of nature. This

620
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:54.599
one is called Don't talk about the
skin Walkers. Yeah, I bring the

621
00:47:54.639 --> 00:48:00.199
skin Walkers back. All right.
He starts off like this, I have

622
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.920
a story. It isn't mine,
but it happened to my uncle. He

623
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:08.480
used to tell his story a lot, and it's always scared the lights out

624
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:15.719
of me. We live in Utah
and my uncle Mark went on mission at

625
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:20.719
nineteen for the Church of Latter day
Saints. They sent him to an Indian

626
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:25.679
reservation in Arizona. They paired him
up with a companion named Carl. When

627
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:29.599
they first got there, there was
a huge rift with the locals on the

628
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:35.719
reservation. With them being there,
they didn't want my uncle and Carl staying

629
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:39.360
on the reservation grounds. Eventually they
came to a compromise. They had to

630
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:45.920
stay on the Outskirts Trailer Reservation wasn't
very big. It was located next to

631
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:51.920
a heavily wooded area. The first
night, they were trying to sleep when

632
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:55.480
all of a sudden, their trailer
started to shake violently back and forth.

633
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:00.360
Startled and not sure what was happening, they climbed underneath their table for cover.

634
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:07.039
Mark could distinctly hear someone pushing it
from both sides of the trailer,

635
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:12.519
like a group of people. After
about five minutes, it stopped. The

636
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.960
next day they made their rounds on
the reservation and were talking to the locals.

637
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:21.559
Carl made a comment to one of
the families that their trailer was shaking

638
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:25.599
that night before. The family got
very quiet and then told them they had

639
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:30.199
to leave. They thought it was
strange, but didn't think much of it.

640
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:36.079
Next night it happened again. They
awoke to a trailer shaking back and

641
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:39.800
forth, and again they climbed undereath
the table until it stopped. This went

642
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:45.280
on two more nights. Anytime they
tried to talk to anyone about it,

643
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:50.719
they got quiet and told them to
leave. Mark started thinking that due to

644
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.320
the tension of their arrival, the
locals were doing this to scare them off.

645
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:59.400
The reservation. They didn't go into
a convenience store, and they were

646
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:04.480
talking together about how frustrated they were
with the situation. The clerk overheard and

647
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.880
said they can't talk about it.
It's forbidden. Confused, they asked him,

648
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:14.679
can't talk about what? The guy
continues down about the skinwalkers. He

649
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:20.119
says, they're evil demons that were
once Native American witches. They talk about

650
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:23.440
it, the skin walkers will come
for their souls. They walked out of

651
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:28.639
there baffled. They thought it wasn't
their scare tactoric. So that night,

652
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:34.480
when they shaking started again, my
uncle decided to be brave and confront them.

653
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.719
He went to the trailer door,
flew it open, and yelled hey.

654
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:42.840
When he did that, he saw
three animals run off. Two were

655
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.559
a wolf, one was a bear, But they looked strange. Some of

656
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:52.960
their features were almost human like,
so he watched them run towards the trees.

657
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:57.599
All three stood up on two legs
and walked slowly towards the trees,

658
00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:04.079
making a human cat clean laugh.
Scared so bad, they called their mission

659
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.679
president the next morning and asked to
be moved. They relocated that day.

660
00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:15.039
For a year, nothing happened.
One day, they announced that Carl was

661
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:20.760
being relocated to another city and Mark
was getting a new companion. His name

662
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.559
was Jimmy, and drive about an
hour to pick Jimmy up from the airport.

663
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:30.840
The road they traveled went through the
boundaries of the reservation. They arrived

664
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:36.239
about eight pm and met Jimmy,
and then they went to leave. The

665
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:43.119
mission president tells Jimmy, we're driving
through a dangerous area at night, so

666
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:46.440
we can't make any stops. If
you need to use the restaurroom, you

667
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:52.039
need to go now. Jimmy goes, I'm fine. The mission president gets

668
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.960
serious enough to even freak out Mark, I'm not kidding. Go to your

669
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:02.119
business. Jimmy was assistant that he
was Needy's restaurant. To hit the road.

670
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:07.280
After about thirty minutes into the drive, Jimmy starts complaining he needs to

671
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:10.920
pee. Mission president says, we
can't stop here. You have to hold

672
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:15.840
it. Jimmy says he can't hold
it, So the President stops the car

673
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:19.880
and says, okay, but you
will do your business next to the door,

674
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:22.039
and if I say get in the
car, you better get in the

675
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.760
car fast. With a look of
confusion, Jimmy says, all right,

676
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:32.119
opensar starts to appea. About five
seconds later, the mission president says nothing,

677
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:37.679
grabs Jimmy and yanks him into the
car and floors it. Jimmy and

678
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:44.239
my uncle start freaking out. What's
going on? Mission president says nothing,

679
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:47.840
It just increases his speed. All
of a sudden, my uncle sees something

680
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:53.599
running next to the car. To
his right, a giant wolf looking man

681
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:59.719
was running on two feet next to
the car. Mark looked at this,

682
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:06.000
going over sixty miles an hour,
and it's still increasing. The wolf creature

683
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:08.440
kept right next to the car for
ten minutes until it finally took coff in

684
00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:13.360
to the trees, shaking. Jimmy
gets out of the car. When they

685
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.000
arrived, it didn't speak to the
whole ordeal. It says, what did

686
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:20.599
I just see? The mission president
says, next time I tell you to

687
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:24.119
take care of your business, you
take care of your business. I think

688
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:29.199
it's safe to say Jimmy didn't just
pee when that happened, probably pro to

689
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:32.199
not. I will say that some
people had commented on this. They said

690
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:38.199
that they were also missionaries in that
area, and they said it was the

691
00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:43.119
original person that posted it said that
it was in the eighties when this happened.

692
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:46.599
They were a missionary. Later this
other person was, and they said

693
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:52.880
they knew exactly the area they were
talking about because of the forest that they

694
00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:57.280
mentioned, and they said that they
also saw things out there. They didn't

695
00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:01.079
encounter the skin walkers, but they
encountered other super natural things, and so

696
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:06.440
they they corroborated the whole thing,
saying that there was definitely something that they

697
00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:12.159
encountered themselves. And I will also
say another person in commented said they encountered

698
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:17.719
something very similar. But in Iraq. They said that there was a wolf

699
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:23.519
like man on the edge of their
camp one night when they were on dude

700
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:29.320
duty. He radioed it in and
the people radio back said, we know,

701
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:35.239
don't shoot it wolf bear man.
Yeah, told him not to shoot

702
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:37.800
it. Why could make it worse? The other thinking, I think so,

703
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:42.920
And they said they eventually ran offensive
the night. So, going back

704
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:46.159
to the beginning of the story,
when they're in this trailer and it feels

705
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:52.159
like it's getting shook from both sides, like I can picture this. Although

706
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:55.960
the trailer's not light, you could
definitely fill multiple people on both sides pushing,

707
00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:00.840
especially if it was like on blocks
or not. Obviously these aren't like

708
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:06.159
well, we're talking about tornadoes.
Also in this episode, these things are

709
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.079
anchored to the ground. Ye,
I'm going to get more like a camper

710
00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:13.360
trailer. Yeah, that's what I'm
thinking too when I heard that. So

711
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:17.360
probably just maybe on wheels or just
blocks when this at this point. But

712
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:22.880
nevertheless, they opened the door and
they see a wolf, a bear and

713
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:24.760
what was the other one? It
was two wolves and a bear. Yeah,

714
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:29.119
wolves and bears don't hang out,
no, no, the job.

715
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.000
So the first of all, that's
terar Okay, So if I opened my

716
00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:35.440
damn door and I saw it,
forget my trailer getting pushed. If I

717
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.840
opened my door and I saw a
wolf and a bear, that'd be terrifying

718
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.920
as soon as you start hanging out
of those Yeah, I think if I

719
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:45.559
see one of those things by themselves
ter Yeah, they also out. I

720
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:49.119
wonder what kind of bear was his
Kodiak bear. I had to get Geneo

721
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.000
involved. I don't believe it would
be a Kodiak bear in that area,

722
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.800
though I could be wrong, but
I don't think they're in that area.

723
00:55:55.920 --> 00:56:00.760
I think they're just cut Alaska.
But yeah, still though, yeah,

724
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:04.480
you may I think I'd feel better
Geno's involved. Regardless, you'd take care

725
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.480
of them. He would take care
of anything. But somebody's saying if someone

726
00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:10.840
says get in the car fast,
in that situation, I wouldn't ask questions.

727
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:14.800
Uh. They all said, I'm
gonna go take care of my business.

728
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:20.039
Yeah, that's a very underappreciated saying
gotta go take care of my business.

729
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:23.880
Yeah. I actually thought that was
actually one part of the story that

730
00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:31.320
I I feel like it adds what's
what I'm looking for as ability. Yeah,

731
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:36.920
legitimacy, because this is, you
know, a Mormon missionary. They

732
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:39.880
would say something like take care of
your business, so yeah, take a

733
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:43.880
leak or something like that. You
know, you think they're smiling the whole

734
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:50.599
time. All was terrifying stuff that
was happening to Every single missionary that I've

735
00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:54.360
met is consistently smiling the whole time. So probably this would test them,

736
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:58.199
though the Mormid. This would test
a Mormon, right, test anybody,

737
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.400
let alone Morey. I think they
probably we were okay at first, but

738
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.199
then towards the end of it,
they probably definitely weren't. I tell you,

739
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.800
if little Jimmy, how old was
Jimmy Jimmy seemed like a little boy

740
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:15.239
the way they're making it. The
Uncle Mark he was nineteen and I don't

741
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:19.320
know the policy with the mission trips. Yeah, I don't think right,

742
00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.719
he gets like eighteen or something like
that. We're gonna call him Little Jimmy

743
00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:24.239
though, from the way he was
acting, Yeah, little I would have

744
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:29.719
made Little Jimmy use a bottle or
something. Yeah, no kidding, I

745
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:34.360
definitely would have. So Little Jimmy's
taking care of his business. Whizzen,

746
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.760
Yeah, whizzing out the door.
So he has a door open, and

747
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:39.800
he's stepped out of the vehicle and
he's wizzing. I think that's what happened.

748
00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:43.960
Yeah, and all of a sudden
he's yanked back in and they take

749
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:47.280
off down the road. And you
said that as they were and he was

750
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:52.599
accelerating very fast. Yeah, looked
out to the side and they saw a

751
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:57.480
like what appeared to be a man, like a like a werewolf sort of

752
00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:01.320
thing, running beside the vehicle.
Yeah, with at sixty plus miles an

753
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:06.679
hour. Yes, that's fast.
I don't, that's terrifying. I don't.

754
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:10.679
This is where Utah, right,
No, they were from Utah.

755
00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:17.000
They were in Eras Zona, I
knew they were from Utah, Yeah,

756
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:22.159
Arizona, Indi areas, gotcha.
So they're very They're a rural area.

757
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:27.280
Yeah, they weren't traveling down some
road with hundreds of cars on it.

758
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:30.400
Yeah. And this was also in
the eighties, so there's you know,

759
00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:32.559
I would say, no, sell
bones, nothing like that. You would

760
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:35.920
have to pay, you would have
had. Yeah, you're right. Just

761
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:38.840
what would you do? Maybe somebody
wo find you later if that wolf man

762
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:43.880
got hold of you. Yeah,
I will say, you know, my

763
00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:47.079
that was a fun, scary story. Yeah, and I'm looking forward to

764
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:52.360
hearing more of the tragic story that
you have for us. Do you want

765
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:55.639
to be a skinwalker? If you
ever have what do they call it when

766
00:58:55.639 --> 00:59:01.079
you come back to life? Reincarnation? Yes, reincarnation. Would you come

767
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:04.920
back to a skinwalker or would you
come back as a walker? Texas Ranger.

768
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:07.280
Everybody wants to be a walker Texas
Ranger, and it's another I don't

769
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:10.320
know if I wanted to come back
as a skin walker, but I would

770
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:15.960
love or not. I don't want
to say it like that. If I

771
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:20.639
had to pick the way I was
to go out, it would be in

772
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:23.559
a fight with a skin walker,
not a tornado, not a tornado.

773
00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:29.760
I would want almost anything that has
to deal with a tornado the size of

774
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:32.760
the one you've been talking about.
There's one thing for sure, though,

775
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.559
if you had experience like this with
a person, like if you were around

776
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.320
somebody that also had this happened,
even if you didn't know, you'd have

777
00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:44.360
something in common. You'd relate to
them. You could feel like you related

778
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:46.599
to them. Would you agree with
that? Yeah, you saw the dog,

779
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:52.199
didn't you? With a black dog? I've heard truckers talk about it

780
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:54.800
on the yard to say it comes
to take everything away from it, and

781
00:59:54.880 --> 01:00:00.480
it did. It almost took everything
away from little Jimmy. I Yeah,

782
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:02.280
it did you. I love about
that clip. I think I mentioned it

783
01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.360
last time, as I see something
new every time. Yeah, that guy

784
01:00:07.400 --> 01:00:08.840
in the back's got like a deck
of cards. What the hell is he

785
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:15.039
Doing's like fan it out like a
casino fan. And that back there,

786
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:19.440
and and he's so close. They're
all so close to and this big semi

787
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:22.039
they are really close. He's like
all up in their business the whole time.

788
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:27.360
Where do you come up with this
shit? Yeah, he's such a

789
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:30.920
such a mean Those truckers on the
yard are always talking. Yeah, it's

790
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:36.840
true. I I love I didn't
realize a card though, I can watch

791
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:40.599
that. Yeah, he's got cards, is man, I always do it.

792
01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:45.360
We'll jump back into the drop one
tornado, so we're gonna change it

793
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:49.000
up a bit this time. We're
going to start off with the final clip

794
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:53.519
the aftermath of the storm, and
then I'll pick back up and we'll finish

795
01:00:53.559 --> 01:01:00.079
off. Sounds good to me at
be inured right now, Josh Air by

796
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:05.360
people fatalities. Right now, people
are trapped, the Blair, Philly's missing

797
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.400
Josh that used to be here,
they're totally gone. This is Oh my

798
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:13.679
gosh, this is bad. Oh
my gosh. Okay are you talking to

799
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:16.519
Kenna? What I wanted to know? And I don't know. Looking around,

800
01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:22.960
I don't know. Look at that
that is destroyed completely. We're gonna

801
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:49.239
turn around. Its call my gosh. Oh oh oh you have through that

802
01:01:49.320 --> 01:02:02.039
way? Oh yeah, I see
no bullet out doors? See why that's

803
01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:22.440
gone? Break the boll well,
no, I cannot believe this little lady

804
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:28.400
over a broken track. Broadcasting live
from the darkened KDRG twenty four hour Storm

805
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:31.559
Center. Power is out. We
are running the backup generators at this hour.

806
01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:37.360
I understand liter I got closeation that
the hospitals were in From here,

807
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:39.760
I'm trying to get to that side
of town. They're just people, Josh

808
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:45.920
done. They're standing stopping. A
woman was reportedly seen an X ray X

809
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.800
rays in her front yard, and
that just gives you a visual to how

810
01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.480
far this damage is reaching. But
if you think this is bad, check

811
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:59.760
out this over here. This is
a neighborhood that is completely flattened by this

812
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:05.239
tornado. There are dozens of people
walking up and down the street trying to

813
01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:09.880
figure on it. We have sustained
a major direct hit here in Chopolin.

814
01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:15.320
Now, Chad, you've described some
damage and we're trying to understand the situation.

815
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.719
And as we can understand it now, Joplin will never be the same

816
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:22.159
after this tornandic event. And when
I was twenty fourth and Main, I

817
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:24.840
could look all the way to the
west and all the way to the east

818
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:32.639
and I saw no structure stand up. And they're like, yeah, like,

819
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:36.800
I don't recognize where I'm at right
now. I don't think I'm blue

820
01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:40.400
lip soon. You want to ride
somewhere, dude, I don't want.

821
01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:44.519
I don't. I don't know if
I want to go over here. I

822
01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:59.159
don't know. I don't want to
be somebody from Do you help? All

823
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.480
right, here's the guest station that
we were at. We parked right over

824
01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:09.079
there. Our car got blown away, but the front door was just right

825
01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:14.719
there. The jop On tornado was
getting where from a half mile to three

826
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:18.000
quarter a mile wide at its widest
point. It was on the ground for

827
01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:25.559
about thirteen miles. Approximately seventy five
hundred homes were damaged. Okay, aftermath

828
01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:30.400
and impact of the Joplin tornado.
A preliminary survey of the tornado damage by

829
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:33.320
the National Weather Service office in Springfield
began on May twenty third. The following

830
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:40.639
day, the initial survey confirmed a
violent tornado rated EF four damaged. Surveys,

831
01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:44.599
however, found evidence of more intense
damage as the tornado was upgraded to

832
01:04:44.639 --> 01:04:48.199
an EF five with winds between two
hundred twenty five to two hundred fifty miles

833
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:53.000
an hour. This is actually an
interesting thing because, for some reason,

834
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:56.480
I don't know why, there's a
lot of rating disputes on that, and

835
01:04:56.519 --> 01:04:58.719
we'll get to that here a little
bit, but this seemed to be a

836
01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:01.360
common thing where the rating, if
this thing was actually five or not,

837
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:08.199
but obviously the damage was crazy.
The scope the damage was immense. According

838
01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:12.039
to a local branch of the American
Red Cross, about twenty five percent of

839
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:16.559
Jopline was destroyed, though emergency officials
reported some level of damage to about seventy

840
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:20.719
five percent of the city. A
week after the tornado, Joplins mayor estimated

841
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:26.079
that twenty five percent of the businesses
licensed in the city were damaged or destroyed.

842
01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:31.599
Nine hundred and sixty four buildings were
damaged in Joplin, including seven four

843
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:36.400
hundred eleven residential buildings and five hundred
and fifty three non residential. At least

844
01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:41.960
three seven hundred and thirty four of
those buildings, including three one hundred and

845
01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:46.440
eighty one residential buildings and all five
hundred and fifty three to none were non

846
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:53.559
residential buildings, sustained so much damage
they were considered destroyed from an insurance standpoint.

847
01:05:54.199 --> 01:06:00.639
According to the FEMA Federal Emergency Management
Agency, two hundred sixty four homes

848
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:03.639
were impacted, and of those,
three eight hundred and eighty four were significantly

849
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:10.119
damaged and four three hundred and eighty
were considered destroyed. So this is some

850
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:15.760
damage to the infrastructure of Joplin.
Tornado also severely damaged critical infrastructure to the

851
01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:20.639
city, hampering emergency response and recovery
efforts. We talked about the two of

852
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:27.760
the main three fire stations were completely
destroyed, two hospitals but had damage,

853
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:34.119
one destroyed, and approximately four thousand
electrical distribution poles were damaged. More than

854
01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:38.880
one hundred and ten miles of distribution
line brought down, one hundred and thirty

855
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:45.079
five transmission towers affected. All the
electrical work in the path was basically destroyed.

856
01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:49.159
Twenty thousand people were left without power, and of those home left without

857
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:53.760
power, they didn't get the back
till about ten to twelve days later,

858
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:58.760
which is huge. The cost of
rebuilding just the electrical system was calculated to

859
01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:02.559
be about twenty six twenty seven million
dollars to the infrastructure of the electricity.

860
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:08.920
The tornado also caused about four thousand
leaks and water service lines, dropping Joplin's

861
01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:14.360
water system pressure below operating level.
Approximately three thy five hundred gas meters and

862
01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:18.559
fight and fifty five thousand feet of
gas main were damaged, and it took

863
01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:23.400
weeks to get to every gas leak
figure out where they're all coming from.

864
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:29.440
Some damaged mains could not be shut
off because they were serving in critical facilities

865
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:34.679
like the healthcare systems. The loan
remaining hospital, and Joplin obviously couldn't shut

866
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:41.000
everything off because of you needed at
the hospital. Twenty one cell phone towers

867
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:46.400
were down and fiber cables damaged.
Cellular communications rendered useless, disabling voice calls

868
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:55.760
and texts. Insurance. An early
estimate from the catastrophic risk modeling from Equate

869
01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:00.920
placed the insurance losses from the tornado
at three billion dollars USD. By mid

870
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:04.800
June, more than nineteen thousand insurance
claims had been filed, a number that

871
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:10.400
eventually rose to sixty one thousand,
a total payout for more than two billion

872
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:15.239
dollars, thirty one percent going to
homeowners five percent of those who lost vehicles.

873
01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:17.760
The impact of the insurance industry was
not so much due to the number

874
01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:23.720
of claims, but the cumulative effect
of such a large number of total losses.

875
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:29.000
In those claims, more than twenty
five hundred local people employed in insurance

876
01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:32.840
were involved in some capacity. The
two point eight billion dollars in damage is

877
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:39.000
the largest amount for a tornado since
nineteen fifty. Casualties we talked about this

878
01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:43.239
earlier. The official death toll from
the National Weather Service listed at one hundred

879
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:45.920
and fifty eight, while the city
at Joplin listed at one hundred and sixty

880
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:49.720
one. Shortly after the tornado,
authorities had listed thirteen hundred people as missing.

881
01:08:50.039 --> 01:08:55.039
The number quickly dwindled down as they
were accounted for. Many people were

882
01:08:55.159 --> 01:09:02.079
reported to have been trapped in destroyed
houses. Nearly thirty people were actually rescued

883
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:06.000
the following day after this tornado.
That happened at six pm, so the

884
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:11.880
following day they had been trapped there
the whole day they were rescued. Of

885
01:09:12.119 --> 01:09:15.840
the one hundred and forty six sets
of remains recovered from the rebel, one

886
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:18.720
hundred and thirty four victims have been
positively identified, so not even all identified.

887
01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:23.479
This total number included four sets of
partial remains, some of which had

888
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:27.920
been belonging to the same person.
A couple weeks later they identified four more

889
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:31.439
people. Of course, there were
people that you know, banished in this

890
01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:41.600
completely infants and terrible things like that. The Joplin Globe reported that fifty four

891
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:45.359
percent of the people killed in that
were killed died in the residents, thirty

892
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:49.880
two percent died and non residential areas, and fourteen percent died in vehicles or

893
01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:58.079
outdoors. Jopline officials after the tornado
announced plans to require that they submitted this

894
01:09:58.159 --> 01:10:03.199
proposal hurricane ties or other fasteners between
houses of their foundations, something that would

895
01:10:03.239 --> 01:10:09.119
cost about seven hundred dollars per house. Officials rejected this to have these be

896
01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:14.840
a requirement in basements, and they
also rejected in a proposal of having basements

897
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:18.600
being a requirement in new houses.
Officials strangely noted that as of two thousand

898
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:23.199
and nine, only twenty eight percent
of job ones new homes had basements,

899
01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:28.600
compared to thirty eight percent two decades
before. But it's important to note also

900
01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:33.920
that a lot more population increased and
that than the previous survey. Injuries ranged

901
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:40.520
from cuts and bruises to impellments by
large debris, to the conclusion of that

902
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:45.319
one thy five hundred people were injured
and or severely injured enough to seek medical

903
01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:50.319
treatment. It also says that they
rescued nearly one thousand pets, with two

904
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:56.960
hundred and ninety two almost three hundred
homeowners rating dispute like I said, The

905
01:10:57.000 --> 01:11:00.199
American Society of Civil Engineers and the
National Weather survey went back and forwards on

906
01:11:01.119 --> 01:11:05.680
if this was an EF four EF
five. National Weather Service kind of got

907
01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:11.279
the last gets the last call here. They do agree with the civil engineers

908
01:11:11.359 --> 01:11:15.359
that at a lot of the damage
was equivalent to EF three e F four

909
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:21.119
throughout it, but there was certainly
things that happened in several areas, even

910
01:11:21.159 --> 01:11:26.439
though they may have been small areas, that were undeniably EF five if you

911
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:30.800
go off of the capability of it. Example, the manhole cover, what

912
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:35.720
was able to do with impalement.
That debate went down as at EF five

913
01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:40.119
when was all said and done,
Yeah, okay, So just to go

914
01:11:40.199 --> 01:11:45.000
into that, concrete being removed,
manhole covers, reinforce porches, driveways,

915
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:50.279
asphalt being ripped from the earth,
the presence of wind, road structure debris,

916
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:56.039
instances of very large vehicles such as
buses, vans and semi trucks being

917
01:11:56.079 --> 01:12:00.600
thrown hundreds of yards or several blocks
from the original point of orders, the

918
01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:04.800
fact that some homeowners actually never really
relocated their vehicles again, and the overwhelming

919
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:10.640
extent and totality the destruction were also
put into consideration to finalize that as any

920
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:14.680
F five. Here's some facts on
the cleanup. The chop One tornado generated

921
01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:19.479
an estimated three million cubic yards of
debris and amount sufficient to cover a football

922
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:24.840
field one hundred and twenty stories high. Removal efforts lasted for months, and

923
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:28.800
at their height, more than four
hundred and ten trucks a day were removing

924
01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:33.319
debris to landfills and Joplin as well
as nearby counties. The tornado also led

925
01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:40.680
to a renewed lead contamination on many
of Joplin's properties. Because if you remember

926
01:12:40.680 --> 01:12:43.279
we went back to the beginning of
the story, that's what this area was

927
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:47.560
founded on lead and development of that. So the reason it was able to

928
01:12:48.159 --> 01:12:54.920
kind of lead to this reoccurring of
lead contamination here is because there was a

929
01:12:54.960 --> 01:13:00.159
lot of reminisce of this and underground
trees, foundations, stuff like that was

930
01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:04.399
actually uprooted and they found about forty
percent of the yards and southern jop One

931
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:09.920
had been contaminated. Chunks of raw
lead were in some places. They were

932
01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:13.439
sitting around the size of tennis balls
or golf balls. The city spent more

933
01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:16.399
than five million just to clean up
this lead contamination. They had to get

934
01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:21.760
grants to do so. Basically,
they had to handle this seriously removing the

935
01:13:21.840 --> 01:13:28.439
lead, cleaning the topsoil, putting
new top soil down, and of course

936
01:13:28.520 --> 01:13:31.960
they had to pass requirements before like
anything that could be rebuilt had to be

937
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:38.239
tested before it could be FEMA maintained
a large presence after this following the tornado,

938
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:40.880
with as many as eight hundred and
twenty employees working in the city.

939
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:45.560
The city worn by federal officials that
it should expect to lose twenty five percent

940
01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:50.359
of its population following the tornado.
They actually responded pretty quickly though, and

941
01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:55.680
built an average of five houses a
week between twenty eleven and twenty twenty two.

942
01:13:56.319 --> 01:14:00.760
Most businesses reopened and more than three
hundred new businesses opened between these last

943
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:05.640
was it twelve years? And here's
the last interesting fact here. There was

944
01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:13.319
some conversation about the mental health impact
that it had. There were twenty people

945
01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:17.560
they said, committed suicide and the
wake of this and obviously had a big

946
01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:23.880
impact on the mental health for the
residents for quite a while, and I'm

947
01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:28.079
sure to this day it's not something
that you know, goes away. Calls

948
01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:32.279
about domestic violence grew for the less
next several years, much higher than they

949
01:14:32.359 --> 01:14:39.359
were post this tornado. That's rough. That is really bad. Yeah,

950
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:43.399
everybody's standing. They need of storms
shelter after that, Yeah, yeah,

951
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:45.680
that was a lot of debrees.
They said, how many football fields high

952
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:49.439
one hundred and twenty stories high,
one hundred yards wide, hundred and twenty

953
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:55.800
stories high. This doesn't even make
sense, No, but when you look

954
01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:58.760
at the video that we watched,
you can see how it would easily be

955
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:01.199
that. I would do want to
talk about that video a little bit because

956
01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:06.039
it did a good job of grasping
severity of the situation. So the person

957
01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:10.680
a couple people, but one comment
really stood out to me. He said,

958
01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:14.239
I don't even know where I'm at. Yeah, now, so imagine

959
01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:17.079
you went outside right now and everything
was just wiped out, right, you

960
01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:23.159
wouldn't know where you're at. There's
no street signs, there's no structures standing,

961
01:15:24.079 --> 01:15:26.840
right, How would you know where
you're actually at? Yeah, that's

962
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:30.800
that is crazy. One thing you
were talking about there was they thought about

963
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:36.479
passing like the requirement to have hurricane
ties to prevent debris and stuff like that,

964
01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:41.199
and it'd be like seven hundred dollars
per building. When you said that,

965
01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:43.479
I was like, man, hurricane
ties it what those are? What?

966
01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:46.800
I looked it up while you're reading. I bought these things for my

967
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:54.680
SHD for the rafters. They're a
bucketpiece. Yeah, I don't know,

968
01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:57.720
it says to the foundation. I
don't know what all that consists of.

969
01:15:58.640 --> 01:16:01.800
They're they're for you could use it
for like basically everything, but basically tying

970
01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:08.760
it in a certain way to something
else to just prevent it from flying off.

971
01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:12.840
And yeah, it ties like the
floor joists to the foundation or the

972
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:17.439
rafters to the Yeah frame, how
cheap can you be too? You know?

973
01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:21.560
Well so not. They tried to
also go as extreme and you can

974
01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:25.840
call it extreme or not extreme,
as to make it where you had to

975
01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:29.880
have a basement in any new house
that didn't get passed. I'm not surprised.

976
01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:34.880
That's a pretty that's a significant increase, but makes you see why in

977
01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:41.920
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, they have
much more strict requirements on building codes and

978
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:45.359
much higher rate of shelters. What
did it so? Interesting enough? Here

979
01:16:45.479 --> 01:16:49.800
also the number of basements being put
in the new homes that actually decreased from

980
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:54.520
the two decades prior. What do
you think that is? When I looked

981
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:59.000
at it, I thought it was
probably because a pretty booming population, so

982
01:16:59.239 --> 01:17:03.760
building a lot of home just didn't
put basements in them. Yeah, huh,

983
01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:09.520
she's so much unpacked there. It's
just weird that you know, they

984
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:14.159
wouldn't. There are some things that
are makes sense to add in, and

985
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:18.359
something like hurricane ties cheap ad for
future buildings that should have been a requirement.

986
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:24.880
After that, you talk about how
this compares to hurricane that's like gets

987
01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:28.680
like eighty ninety miles an hour.
No, no, but okay, so

988
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:31.800
there's nothing with that powerful in the
world as a tornado that we just talked

989
01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:36.000
about. Well, it's the equivalent
of a bomb, atomic bomb. But

990
01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:43.760
the problem with a hurricane is its
sustained winds can last twenty four hours,

991
01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:47.359
can last twelve hours, Yeah,
which makes it very deadly, right,

992
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:53.239
you know what I mean, bad
countless surge, right yeah, yeah,

993
01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:58.880
but this event is quick, this
tornado when tornado happens. But I think

994
01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:03.279
this is scary to me because you're
really powerless. You can do you can

995
01:18:03.359 --> 01:18:10.880
get these hurricane ties and stuff,
but from the way it looked at some

996
01:18:11.039 --> 01:18:15.560
of these neighborhoods, they're just all
wiped out. Yeah no, yeah,

997
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:19.880
there was no stop in that.
I think the idea is to prevent flying

998
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:25.119
debris exactly. No, you're right, because that that's becomes the most dangerous

999
01:18:25.159 --> 01:18:28.920
thing. Yeah, And they talked
about all the different number of people that

1000
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:32.039
went to the hospital with impalement.
And when I was editing a lot of

1001
01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:35.560
this footage, there was a nurse
talking about some of the different things she

1002
01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:41.680
saw that we're stuck in people.
Is terrifying. Can't imagine just from the

1003
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:47.439
win different vibe tonight on your scary
stories. But yeah, a truly terrifying

1004
01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:53.119
story. And I have never been
seen a tornado, never been in one.

1005
01:18:53.720 --> 01:18:56.880
What'd you say you see there been
in one? I've never actually seen

1006
01:18:56.920 --> 01:19:00.520
one either. I've been about four
miles away from one when I was in

1007
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.119
southern Indiana, but I didn't see
it. And it was yes, one

1008
01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:08.039
or two. It was not like
this. Obviously, there was this one

1009
01:19:08.159 --> 01:19:11.279
time. I'm not harm soon certain
it was tornad. It probably wasn't.

1010
01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:17.560
They never officially said it was.
But I was in the restaurant and the

1011
01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:24.119
roof got peeled off the top,
and I do know for a fact that

1012
01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:28.560
I felt like the windows were going
to explode at one point, and so

1013
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:31.840
like it may have just been a
straight line wind that was this out of

1014
01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:36.880
control yeah, or it was like
a low level tornado that touched down for

1015
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:41.800
a split second and then ripped it
off and it went away. But yeah,

1016
01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:46.119
this like this is like what we
just saw was like hand of God

1017
01:19:46.319 --> 01:19:54.319
level. Uh yeah, how many
miles? How long was this thing catch?

1018
01:19:54.840 --> 01:20:00.159
It said it was touchdown in a
mile wide for about sixteen miles of

1019
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:04.319
going across. So you said earlier
it was going at ten miles an hour.

1020
01:20:04.520 --> 01:20:06.680
At one point it is going ten
miles an hour, which is slow.

1021
01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:13.520
So that was like almost an hour
or something like that it was going

1022
01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:18.800
through that area. Yeah, so
that okay. So aerial surveys when you

1023
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:20.760
go back, and they showed that
there at the end of the video are

1024
01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:25.239
insane a drone, a helicopter or
whatever you want to look at it with.

1025
01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:30.560
Yeah, twenty one miles long and
up to a mile wide. This

1026
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:33.920
thing stayed on the ground for twenty
one miles and we actually you go back

1027
01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:39.119
to earlier first part of this,
you actually got to see it develop on

1028
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:42.560
camera, which I don't want to
say was pretty cool. But it went

1029
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:47.479
from a tiny It went from like
a normal tornado to this, like you

1030
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:51.479
said, an act of God,
this monster in seconds. Yeah, that

1031
01:20:51.680 --> 01:20:57.279
was ridiculous. Yeah. I've seen
some footage before, but I never saw

1032
01:20:57.359 --> 01:21:01.119
all that like aftermath or anything like
that, or even like the during of

1033
01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:05.600
it. And so some of that
photoge there was just absolutely terrifying to look

1034
01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:11.840
at and just it makes you what
you feel bad watching it, but it

1035
01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:15.439
also makes you count your blessings that
you've done. You're not if you're not

1036
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:19.960
there. Yeah, a lot of
people said that they referred to what the

1037
01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:24.800
scene that they saw as people walking
like zombies down the street with very like

1038
01:21:24.920 --> 01:21:29.279
a few possessions they found. I
could see that. What did you think

1039
01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:31.199
about the infrastructure? How it mentioned
that That's something I guess you don't typically

1040
01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:34.680
think about, right when you think, right, all those gas lines and

1041
01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:40.159
everything they are ruptured and everything water, gas and electrical. It just decimated

1042
01:21:40.199 --> 01:21:45.560
the electrical infrastructure in that town.
I mean this stuff ten miles of distribution

1043
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:48.600
power line. Yeah, stuff like
that takes forever fix you, uh,

1044
01:21:49.880 --> 01:21:56.560
And so that being destroyed, that
also slows down the repairs, right,

1045
01:21:56.680 --> 01:22:00.439
because if you don't have access to
power to do that, you can't fix

1046
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:05.039
things. No. Today, there
was a lot of people on the when

1047
01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:09.520
I researched this, that were talking
about how they were trying to get they

1048
01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:13.840
were out of town and they were
trying to get back home into Joplin after

1049
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.159
this one. They didn't know where
they're at. There's no street signs,

1050
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:19.520
and that's something you kind of take
for granted when you don't have anything to

1051
01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:23.760
reference. And two, there was
so much debris. Couldn't even get to

1052
01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:29.039
your house. Yeah, they people
talked about parking half a mile away and

1053
01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.079
walking there. You don't even know
what you're out walk to. Like,

1054
01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:34.840
well, in that one reference,
that guy said when he looked in two

1055
01:22:34.840 --> 01:22:40.880
different directions, there was nothing.
Yeah, all, And then they showed

1056
01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:47.800
that neighborhood outside of the hospital gone. It's like there's nothing to go back

1057
01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:53.600
to. It's gone. And that
is insanity to me. It's like you

1058
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:57.720
think about it's like what would you
even do, Like could you process?

1059
01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.600
That's well, I'm not surprised at
the like they said, they increase in

1060
01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:05.159
suicides and stuff like that. Yeah, stuff like that takes a toll on

1061
01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:12.319
human human beings that is just hard
to quantify. And it's like being at

1062
01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:15.840
war. It's like you said,
a bomb, Yeah, that's why everybody

1063
01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:18.399
kept saying, it's like a bomb
destroyed everything. There was a there was

1064
01:23:18.520 --> 01:23:24.720
a what did you think about the
pizza hut manager that was killed? That's

1065
01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:27.439
terrifying. You can see like trying
to get everybody into a safe place.

1066
01:23:28.439 --> 01:23:32.319
Those actually a really sad part.
I was thinking about that. I was

1067
01:23:32.399 --> 01:23:35.399
thinking about, you know, walkings
that've been in and it's like they're a

1068
01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:40.399
pretty structurally sound. Usually they're a
good place to put girl. They have

1069
01:23:40.520 --> 01:23:43.239
wall in the middle of the place. Yeah, I mean, but there

1070
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:45.720
they are so big and so like, you know, you try to save

1071
01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:50.800
everybody and you're not going to have
that kind of room. Yeah. No,

1072
01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:55.079
I've never seen a walk in that
could fit the amount of people he

1073
01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:58.600
was trying to put in there.
One story I heard and I didn't I

1074
01:23:58.640 --> 01:24:01.840
didn't play it. Sure, it
was incredibly sad. You're sad stories tonight

1075
01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:10.560
was they were looking for their baby
and there's so many random sounds, toys

1076
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:15.279
going off, it's about impossible to
locate anything, so they weren't able to.

1077
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:20.359
But another interesting thing come from this
was what it did to the animals

1078
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:25.840
that were there, the horses,
the cows. Yeah, they would just

1079
01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:29.239
say you could hear shots in the
distance. Just some of them couldn't be

1080
01:24:29.319 --> 01:24:32.000
saved, but they're so badly hurt. But it's like just so much of

1081
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:36.079
an impact that you never think about. That's why I thought, like,

1082
01:24:36.800 --> 01:24:42.079
this is sad, as tragic as
can be. And kudos to this community.

1083
01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:44.880
It sounds like they're strong at hell
and they've made a big comeback.

1084
01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:48.760
Yeah, but it's it's sad,
but it's more than anything, it's scary,

1085
01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:54.079
like this could happen where I'm at
in Indiana, this could happen where

1086
01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:57.279
you're at. This could happen at
a lot of places, but there's just

1087
01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:02.960
nothing that prepares you for Yeah.
Absolutely, Yeah, I kind of want

1088
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:09.079
to go there sometimes, just to
see what kind of a community can rebound

1089
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:13.520
from something like that. There's obviously
some things will never be replaced for the

1090
01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:17.000
life and all that, Yeah,
you can't ever replace that, and nothing

1091
01:25:17.039 --> 01:25:21.880
will ever go back to being the
exact same. It's just a new normal

1092
01:25:23.000 --> 01:25:28.199
now and they're definitely making a go
over. Though it's important to note also

1093
01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:32.039
that there has to be a learning
experience from this because way too many people

1094
01:25:32.159 --> 01:25:36.279
die. I mean, that is
an abnormal, insane This was an abnormal

1095
01:25:36.359 --> 01:25:43.439
and insane storm, but that is
a very large amount of fatalities. Yeah,

1096
01:25:43.520 --> 01:25:46.000
so you hope, and I'm sure
there's a lot of things that were

1097
01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:51.159
taken away from this. I watch
a lot of air crash investigators to airplanes.

1098
01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:57.000
A lot something comes out of every
crash, right regulation of finding.

1099
01:25:57.640 --> 01:26:01.560
You just hope that in this particular
instance that something would come out of that

1100
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:06.239
because there we talked about Oklahoma City, they have had several yeah fives,

1101
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:12.960
but not this fatality level typically.
I mean, could be I could be

1102
01:26:12.960 --> 01:26:15.680
speaking out of my mind. There's
some big ones, but with a twenty

1103
01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:19.960
minute warning, which is pretty sufficient. However, it's scary because there's just

1104
01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:25.000
nothing you could do. You could
drive, hope you drove the right way.

1105
01:26:25.560 --> 01:26:29.079
I guess you could try to drive
away fast. It wasn't a very

1106
01:26:29.119 --> 01:26:31.560
fast moving storm. It was between
forty and ten miles an hour. You

1107
01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:34.560
got to think about it, though, I'm sure, and I know a

1108
01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:38.920
lot of other tornado stories. The
roads. First of all, if you're

1109
01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:42.840
behind the eight ball, you can't
get around the debris. But everybody trying

1110
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:45.439
to leave at the same time as
problematic to you. When something like that,

1111
01:26:45.600 --> 01:26:48.000
there's just no real good answer well, everybody listen and let us know

1112
01:26:48.119 --> 01:26:53.399
what you thought about this change up
tonight. It wasn't the typical ghosts or

1113
01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:57.479
intruder stories that we share. Luke
had some, but change it up a

1114
01:26:57.479 --> 01:26:59.720
little bit. I wanted to try
something different. We're always willing to do

1115
01:26:59.800 --> 01:27:02.319
that here, just to see what
works, I guess. So this is

1116
01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:08.079
part of it here is we're I
don't know a six seven episodes in I

1117
01:27:08.199 --> 01:27:12.840
lost count. I think it's seven. This might be seven, it might

1118
01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:15.840
be seven. So it's not normal
scary story. But yeah, we're really

1119
01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:18.520
curious about what you think. Did
it work, did it not work.

1120
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:21.039
We'll also find out later once we
upload the video how it worked. But

1121
01:27:21.760 --> 01:27:27.680
yeah, we're gonna count on Jack
to make some cool thumbnails for the Skinwalker

1122
01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:30.159
story in the Tornado. But nevertheless, you want to check out more of

1123
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:36.359
our content. It's on my YouTube
podcast Father Jeff Townsend Media Your Scary Stories

1124
01:27:36.479 --> 01:27:44.079
dot com. I'm getting the audio
versions uploaded, the podcast apps distributed,

1125
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:46.520
but I think the video versions the
way to go for sure. If I

1126
01:27:46.600 --> 01:27:49.680
had to suggest, what about you, Luke, Yeah, I think the

1127
01:27:49.840 --> 01:27:55.119
video is Yeah, it's a little
something too. Plus you get those amazing

1128
01:27:56.319 --> 01:28:00.319
cutaways we do. Yeah, yeah, it's actually pretty cool in audio too,

1129
01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:03.159
but yeah, video cutaways, you
can't miss those for sure. Yeah,

1130
01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:06.640
I think we're good to close up
this episode. We're gonna end on

1131
01:28:06.640 --> 01:28:12.079
a high note. So what we'll
do here is we will play a clip

1132
01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:15.039
and immediately from that clip, go
to the altro. How does that sound,

1133
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:17.399
Luke? That's good to me.
