Last night's storm recap

This video shows you why it is SO important to not be caught inside a vehicle during a tornado. These people were lucky they were inside a building nearby. @MyRadarWX #tornado #chicago #ilwx

🚨WOW!!! Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!! Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again. This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off. The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride. One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn. One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!" Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all. For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name. That's so amazing... GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸

@mattvanswol This amazing hero should be nominated for the Good Samaritan category for upcoming American First Responder Awards show - more at usfra.org/afras-award-no… ~ j

🚨WOW!!! A mother suffered a medical emergency going 60mph, totally unresponsive, with her little boy strapped in the backseat... ...a total stranger saw what was happening and used HIS OWN CAR to pin her SUV against the barrier and bring it to a stop, SAVING THEIR LIVES!!! His name is Paul Jackson. On Tuesday, Paul was driving down I-5 near Fife when he saw a white SUV cut across THREE lanes of traffic and start bouncing off the concrete divider... Over and over. He pulled up next to it and looked inside. The driver was out cold, eyes rolled back in her head, completely unresponsive at highway speeds. In the backseat he saw a TERRIFIED little boy strapped into his car seat. "Somebody had to do something." So Paul did what almost nobody would do: he used his own car to gently pin her SUV against the barrier and slowly squeezed it to a stop. He slowly and carefully... glided her car to safety. Then he jumped out, threw the car in park, got the little boy to safety, and stayed with the mother until EMTs arrived. Paul was on his way to pick up his wife's BIRTHDAY CAKE when all this happened. He sent her pictures from the scene as proof he wasn't making up an excuse for being late. 😂 "Had to have proof for my wife." When asked why he did it, Paul didn't hesitate: "God put me there to do that, I knew I was going to stop this vehicle no matter what." THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Tropical Depression Two has formed in the eastern Gulf. The system is expected to become a tropical storm as it drifts north to northwest over the next couple of days. Confidence in the forecast remains low at this time. Be sure to stay tuned for updates. #TXwx #HOUwx #GLSwx

Here is the doppler estimated rain from the past 5 days across the region as a combination of near-record levels of moisture in the atmosphere and slow moving disturbances led to repeated rounds of heavy rainfall each night from Monday through Thursday nights with flooding. #txwx

The fire remains active, and additional details, including acreage and containment, were not immediately available.

Early this morning, our sixth airlift to Venezuela took off, carrying more than 100,000 pounds of relief supplies for those suffering after powerful earthquakes. Our @SamaritansPurse 767 will deliver more than 10,000 hygiene kits, 6,000 solar lights, and 5,000 food bags, as well as additional medical supplies to our field hospital there. The most important thing you can do is PRAY—for our teams, for people who have lost everything, for the local churches, and for the country to recover.
