Monster EF4 Tornado Strikes Winterset, Iowa

I’m from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and hearing about things like this in my own state is always crazy to me. I never usually associate big tornadoes with Iowa, usually Oklahoma or Nebraska or even Kansas.

We got caught in the middle of this tornado as it passed army post road on southeast side of Des Moines. Me and my son in my car. We held hands and prayed as debris and trees blew passed our car. Ears were popping and my car shook. Less then a mile from my house. It did damage to my home and took out our shed. Luckily we survived. It was an EF2 when we got stuck in it. Very little warning before it hit. So sad for the people who lost family members in Winterset. We had angels watching over us that day 😇

This video is well put together. I felt compelled to help those in Winterset. While other communities were effected, Winterset had 6 deaths. Of those one family he lost his wife. Son in law. 2 grandchildren, his home and vehicle all in few minutes. I was st first in cleanup of carver road, then few houses off carver, the ems director sent me with other volunteers to the man lost nearly all in a minute. After the homeowner meet me he became fond of me. So each day was sent to his property to clean up. One had to feel for the man. His brother and those in Winterset. My 3 weeks of helping the shifts were to be 3 hours each I made. Sure could stay early light to near dark. People came from all over. Minnesota. North Carolina, Kentucky. Texas One man saw the story on the world news flew in on his private jet from Las Vegas. Cities wrote checks, the husky basketball team went to state the opponent win or lose gave gift cards , hat hat or plate passed around for the crowd to give. Like I gave my time away from my company so did many others help those effected by storms they are victims it could be you next or one you know. A news storm spotter after talking to me about my strong interest in tornados told me need to be storm spotter could help save a community and lives. I have from his suggestion combined an idea, after working with Christian based handyman company to say. I will set aside money into an special fund to launch my Idea .

I love this guy. The edits the way he shows respect to the people who were hurt or potentially died, and the fact he helped people to the hospital shows that he wants to help people and isent in it for money. Thank you and we need more people like you!

I've never chased storms, but this video shows how frustrating I could imagine it being. So easy to miss a good tornado, or be too far away for a good view and unable to catch up. I'm sure there would be many frustrating days, but also awesome days as well.

Excellent video! I watch a lot of these because tornadoes fascinate me and your editing, coverage and analysis are top notch. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
