this is like somethin from a movie but its real life people lost their lives 
and theres nothin we can do about it other than learn from it and hope others dont have to go thru what cody did 
the fact that he was in his van and still managed to survive is insane lol idk how ppl deal with this kinda trauma tho 
just watched the footage of Cody Coombes riding out an EF-3 tornado in his pest control van... mind blown 
165 miles per hour is insane! I feel so safe and sound from my cozy little apartment 
. The thing that got me was how prepared Coombes was, he had a plan and stayed informed about the weather... hope everyone else did too 
. Wish they had better warning systems in place though 
. Can't help but think about how lucky I am to be indoors while he was out there braving the storm 
.

what would i do in that situation? probably try to stay calm, find a safe spot, and ride it out... or maybe I'd be too scared to even move lol

. The footage of him riding out the storm is indeed heart-stopping, but also humbling in its portrayal of the raw power that can be unleashed upon unsuspecting communities 
. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it's essential to acknowledge the importance of preparedness and awareness in the face of natural disasters like this one 
I mean, can you even imagine bein' in a place where the winds are that strong? It's sobering to think about how quick things can turn deadly. We need more people like Cody Coombes who are willin' to share their stories and help others stay safe during emergencies.
. And for those who did lose their lives, I'm just praying for their families
