[Music] [Applause]

Hey, it's me, Destin. Tuscaloosa recently got rocked by a tornado real bad. National Guards in the street, power guys are working hard trying to get power back on, and of course, media, it's bad. So, my sister was in Tuscaloosa when all the tornadoes hit. If you've never been here before, you can't really tell the damage, but all the trees are gone, and you can see the path that the tornado took. If you see way off in the distance this line of trees, there used to be trees between here and all the way there. Now there's not. And, you can see the destruction on the street.

She was in this house right here. Say hello!

Hello!

So, where exactly were you when you almost pooped your pants?

So, she was in the bathroom right here and you can see this big oak tree fell on her house. It hit a couple places, but it destroyed this other house, which is pretty crazy. Let's go look. This is not a small tree; pretty incredible. So, needless to say, we feel very blessed to have Bry with us still.

Do you want to say anything about what went down here?

So, here's the couch, SL hangout spot slash oak tree roll.

[Music]

Baby, holy crap! All right, dang, I think we found our source for shingles for patching the roof. They're going to have to disconnect all the power from all the houses before they turn the power back on, aren't they?

Yeah, these things go up in flames.

All right, I'm going to grab some shingles and we'll patch a roof. I don't know, think something like that would... would you think that would be useful? Better than the shingles or you think shingles would be just good?

I, we can take it, layer it up.

I always wonder; you learn a whole lot about people once.

Top fan, you really do.

Yeah, this video is going to be useless later when you video other stuff.

The bathroom?

Yeah, show me that.

Come.

Yeah, she, um, that's insane. Yeah, she— and this is where they— when she opened this door this is where they were. When she opened this door they were outside.

This is— Holy mess, that is insane.

Yeah, so she was right here. She was right there; there were eight of them in that bathtub.

Eight of them in here?

Uh-huh.

So, when they say get to the center of the house, they ain't joking.

They're not joking!

When she opened the door, this is— they were outside— there's the sun. That's crazy. Yeah, she lost everything.

That's hard hard work, young lady.

No man, where y'all from?

All over.

Appreciate you coming, sir.

Over to the— I hadn't walked all the way over yet.

Down 10th Avenue?

Yeah, you can make it down there about— drive?

Driving? I don't know if you can get through at the end.

Yeah, hey, this is Mr. Walker. He was across the street from my sister and he was in his house when she was in her house. He's going to tell me—

Yeah, she was home, man.

He's going to tell me his end of the story here, so let's see what Mr. Walker has to say.

Man, it was— I heard it coming. It was— I guess she didn't last over 20 seconds really; by the time I really— I'd say a total of 30 seconds.

It was— it 'cause she heard one little W.

W?

It was over with; that went— L noise that W was a tree. I don't know what it was—but man, I know there was one noise that made on this hill and it was gone, man.

It was traveling.

Show me what you got!

What kind of damage you got here?

The top of the house right there, the roof— all of one on the other side around there— all of them are gone.

Yeah, you had any problems with looters?

Not yet.

Not yet, not yet.

You think they're here though?

Yeah, I know they are.

Everybody else having— my neighbors are having—

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

What do you think about our signs? You see?

Second amendment in effect; you loot we shoot.

Great! I think it's great.

I think it's great. The cops seem to like it too.

Oh, yeah?

Excellent. National Guard keeping us safe in Tuscaloosa. Y'all be good.

Oh, you're a War Eagle guy, ain't you?

You don't want to know!

Hey, I'll take it!

He, Roll Tide!

You got a Roll Tide over here?

You're a War Eagle?

Tide, I'm a War Eagle and a Vol fan.

A Vol's a—

Hey, that's okay, Tennessee!

I lived in Tennessee for a while; I'll take it!

Hey, when something like this goes down, we all the same, ain't we?

Damn right! We all the same!

K, that's right!

Y'all have a good one, guys.

You too!

All right, so you can see this guy's technique was just like ours— just showing force or letting people know that you've got something. Not necessarily brandishing it, about to use it, but just the fact that you’ve got a weapon is often a deter enough.

I got my dad and I want to show you pretty inter— know youed loops.

So, you have to know your position and where your relative motion is going so you can compensate for it.

But chickens are really good at this, so I'll show you— watch his head stay totally stationary as I move his body. I can move his body in pretty much any direction.
