Iowa is known to be in Tornado Alley, but the western region mainly avoided twisters… Until 2008 when an unrelenting tornado barreled through the area causing widespread devastation.

I'm watching this in August 2019. A few days ago there was 2 mass shootings that have people on high alert in shopping areas or anywhere else you can find groups of people gathering. You can't help but feel that somewhere along the way the world has finally lost it's mind. You have kids inspired by other kids shooting up schools & each other. I think that's why watching this video made me aware of the good that still exists in our world . It comes at a time where many believe good is now extinct & something that's thought of in the past tense. The scouts & their leaders at Little Sioux should be acknowledged for their exceptional courage & bravery that day. You actually could feel a sense of calm they had in the midst of living thru a nightmare. My heart & prayers goes out to the families of those scouts who lost their lives.
That being said, watching this gave me a renewed faith that humanity still stands a chance at survival. There's still good left in the world sometimes you just have to look a little harder for it, but if you ever need a quick reminder & some proof of it just watch this video. Believe me, you will get a lot more from it than learning about how to survive a tornado & the aftermath.

I miss storm stories. Please Weather Channel bring it back.
I MISS THE OLD WEATHER CHANNEL!!!!!! I remember when i was a little younger me from current, I would always go down stairs in my home in the living room, Sit on my couch and watch my favorite storm channel The Weather Channel and this show would always come on and i would always watch it from beginning to end. — That was back when Time Warner Cable had Cable/Phone and it's own Internet Service!!
I’m a Boy Scout Veteran.
I hope those 2 brave young men who saved the ranger and his family were promoted to Eagle Scouts. They deserve it!
I meant guess what that word is from 1939 disny
It’s a twister ? it’s a twister ? hues what is word from 1939
God is love
A place like this with so many children should have underground storm shelters.
I don’t think they were prepared enough.
I remember this night, I was at boy scout summer camp at Sid Rich Scout Camp near Bridgeport, Texas. For us it was very clear and calm night. The group I was in was doing a wilderness survival trip that night which involved sleeping outside with just a sleeping bag for protection. So hearing about this really struck close to home for us when we heard about it the next day.
Who the hell built the designated shelter to be under the tables during a tornado? That's for earthquakes!
Axton, Avon, Aisley, hopefully i didn't mispell those pretty A names!
Tornado occurred on the day I graduated high school. Although the tornado happened a few hours after the ceremony, and halfway across the country from where I live (Easton, Pennsylvania).
Thaink god he’s ok ? at least 1. Survive. In the tornado ? 4 kids died in a tragic tornado ? so sorry ? for the pArents who lost there. Children. Who died. In the tornado ? Sorry For your lost
So “SS202” means “Storm stories: Little Sioux Tornado?”
