Would you act the same way? I hope I would!
This is an awesome youtube video(Primarily Audio). The best of humanity at the worst of times. God bless them, and all who suffered through these horrendous storms.

Joe, it is impossible to believe the devastation a storm like this can leave. Three weeks ago, we experienced a category 4 tornado that touched down with 190 MPH winds, cutting a swath 1/2 mile wide for 35 miles. These rural communities lost 16 lives, with at least one entire family wiped out. We have hardly begun to recover.
Some problems arose I never considered. For the patients in our volunteer clinic, some lost homes and everything. Some lost medication and medical supplies. As of week before last, we exhausted our supply of Lantus (an insulin used in the daily treatment of diabetes) and had to resort to patients buying their own medicine (the drug companies supply our patients normally, but their supply was lost).
The recovery effort continues, but nothing looks the same. I was delivering some equipment to an affected area last Friday and I wasn't even sure I was in the right town, even though I have traveled there since I was a child.
The miracle here is that more people were not killed. My heart goes out to the people of Joplin and all the affected areas. It will not be easy.
Thanks for sharing this Joe. Even though their was nothing visually to see in this video, during the worst of it, the words I that stood out to me were:
"I love everybody!"
"Is everybody all right?"
and
"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!"
In times like these, most people realize that they are left with two things, namely their faith and the people they love. That is all that really matters in life.
My heart goes out to those in the middle of our country (U.S) who are really suffering right now!
