  12. I watched live Andy, and I agree with consensus, you killed it. I was live when you got emotional, and I was crying too… holy crap Andy Hill has a super compelling channel. You the man.

  14. I was watching this stream until I fell asleep that night. Didnt know until the next day that the internet/TV company I work for had an office in Shawnee and evidently the office got obliderated, the headend had structural damage, and several of our guy's properties were impacted but thankfully I dont believe any of them were hurt, at least nothing more than minor injuries if anything. Heard about it the next morning. Our head end tech (in SE Georgia) was telling us that some of our channels are out because we get some of them piped in from the Shawnee, OK office and instantly I knew why. They sent out a company-wide email later that day letting us know what happened and that our guys up there were okay, but were affected.

  15. I am in California, but spent most of my life in the Midwest. I have watched so much storm coverage over my lifetime. I watched this as the replay. You are an inspiration. Your passion and love for humanity is amazing. The way you explain the radar and what is happening blows my mind. I have learned so much from watching you.

  19. Incredible job Andy! You nailed it as usual. Always so professional, educational, empathic, and all around amazing. Ryan is super lucky that you work with him because you'd be fierce competition! Take care of yourself and see you in the next one! Kitty kisses to Midas!

  22. Andy, I watched this live while it was happening while my daughter was in the basement at Oklahoma Baptist University. You did a great job. I was in sheer panic mode as I waited to hear if she was ok, but you kept me sane. Knowing what was happening strangely helped. All students, teachers and staff at the college are fine and not even an injury occured at the school.
    So much damage, but those things are replaceable.

  24. Wow watching this 5 days later. I live in Shawnee and was goofing around with friends at a gas station since we didn't want out cars in the hail. Thank goodness we had the news pulled up, immediately went home and into the bathroom under mattresses. Felt the wind with all the doors closed, heard it the whole time. Seeing the damage it really set in how significant it was. Seeing "shawnee strong" photos of downtown shawnee before the storm makes me cry. Nearly the whole city has power but not everybody, this will take a while to clean but we are so thankful there was no fatalities in our town.

  25. i gained new respect for tornadoes when my cousin and his wife were killed May 25th 2019 by an EF3 QLCS tornado…absolutely no warning…El Reno, OK…people want to see tornadoes from the safety of their homes but after seeing what I saw of his mobile home park and seeing them laying in their coffins gone forever I do not ever want to see a tornado. Prayers to all the victims of April 19th 2023 which btw was a very low risk day in central oklahoma

  29. I live in Shawnee. I had a really hard time finding live coverage on YouTube because we lost internet and it was difficult to see the videos on the news website.

    I wish I found this channel that night. You and Ryan Hall Y’all do such a great job. I’m now subbed to you and Ryan! Hopefully if we need y’all again, I won’t miss it!
