James Kaufman, World News Report today, March 15, 2025.
God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world.
Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up,
ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen,
I have several videos and pictures of the sandstorm.
There was the precursor to the tornado outbreak yesterday.
This is in West Texas,
in the panhandle of Texas, and it was horrific.
It caused, well, hundreds and hundreds of wrecks,
and I'm sure it caused a lot more than just that.
Again, we've got video of a lot of the wrecks,
and we've got pictures. It's like nothing else I've ever seen.
Let me just say, if Sheryl Harrison would have known what
this was the start of,
I don't know if she'd be smiling.
West Texas sandstorm blowing in.
All right, we're talking about winds at 80 miles an hour,
trucks flipping on their side everywhere on major interstates.
Wow.
It's basically just being pulled by the 80-mile-per-hour wind.
Even though he knows, stop, there's nothing he can do.
These are several different trucks,
just so y'all understand what I'm telling you.
This just blew off and blew over.
This is Amarillo area, March 14th, yesterday,
the precursor to all of the, well,
tornadoes and the tornado outbreak.
Now, we had pileups everywhere because there was zero visibility.
I don't know why people did not slow down,
but pileups in both directions on every major interstate.
Just to see, these are large pileups.
I heard about, again, 20 to 30 car pileups.
There might have been larger ones.
Winds at 80 miles an hour.
Unbelievable here just trying to give you all
an idea of what a dire situation and how bad
it really was. Probably worse than I've seen in my 57 years.
A lot of major wrecks. I don't know
if there were any fatalities
but I would guess based on what we're seeing well that would be
affirmative. Here's another wreck.
This car is just out quite a ways from the street and probably
These 18-wheeler backups
and pileups do not look fun,
believable.
It looks like the day after, unbelievable.
And if you walk to the left, it's just one after another.
You would think with zero visibility,
these people would have slowed down,
but it doesn't look like they were going very slow to me.
Never thought I would see anything like this.
This is going both ways on both sides of the interstate here.
Now the sand came through, took a few hours,
but it came through very quickly.
Again, we have some radar
and it looks like it was about 80 mile per hour sandstorm here.
We'll hit that radar very soon.
Just trying to give you all an idea of what just occurred there.
They're trying to show you the other side of the street as well.
It's just everywhere, ladies and gentlemen.
And this is someone sitting in their car filming what's going on.
Considering I'm not in a pileup.
Amarillo 96.
Plain view 20.
Didn't catch the last one.
Oh, look at the pileup on the other side of the highway here.
Unbelievable.
You can barely see across the median.
And hail center.
Like nothing else I've seen.
Again, looks like the day after.
All right.
No, this looks great, folks.
Obviously.
I guess the people have been evacuated.
I think we have seen that scene.
Here we have another 18-wheeler that was just blown, another one,
blown off the road completely with just the 80-mile-per-hour winds.
I've seen this happen once before
when I was driving through New Mexico and West Texas.
It's hard to believe, though, even when you see it firsthand.
I'm trying to show you the other side of the major highway here
that's only 20 yards away.
You can't even see it.
They had 40 to 60 miles per hour zero visibility.
Don't be out driving.
So very well this is not zero visibility
but you get the idea you shouldn't be going very
fast on the interstate during this this time period.
More just havoc. Cars piled up
every which way. Looks like it took out
this aluminum building for sure here.
It's got a tree or tin.
I feel certain of that.
I'm not quite sure.
It's like it's a trampoline.
Someone missing a trampoline.
Now the skies have turned red all across the state of Texas.
Right.
Terrible situation, folks.
Unbelievable.
This is the sandstorm coming through
at 80 miles an hour, as you can see,
which turned into a tornado outbreak in the central plains.
Up through Missouri and Alabama, Mississippi,
we have tornadoes currently on the ground today, March 15th,
2025, up and down Mississippi and moving east currently.
We're talking about a system that's moving extremely fast.
All right, we also have fires
that have broken out all across the state.
I wonder, um...
Large red flag and fire warning in several different areas.
You can see another pileup here.
Everywhere you go, another pileup.
Let's hope all these folks got lucky.
This is horrific looking.
Again, looks like a movie to me, period.
This guy's going to film for a second, so we'll let him do just that.
While you came and see the car that's next to them,
So you get to it.
Looks like we have a firetruck there that you can barely see.
Yep.
Wow.
And an ambulance, perhaps?
I'm not quite sure.
That, ladies and gentlemen,
is the worst sandstorm I believe I've ever witnessed.
You know, this stuff seems to be getting worse and worse.
I'm going to show you one more video.
Another complete, well,
nightmare for all the residents in West Texas.
You can be assured there's a lot of property damage
and trees up as well.
We're just looking at the pileups right now
because it's just unheard of, unbelievable.
Here we have another pileup, different pileup, different area.
Looks like this person might have been able to stop.
It looks like a school bus, but I don't know.
Look at this pileup next to them.
Unbelievable.
Who would be going that fast with zero visibility?
It makes zero sense to me.
Well, let me just say the weather's getting pretty crazy.
And this is the beginning of our tornado season.
So, y'all be careful out there.
Please share our video.
Please subscribe.
And always remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World.
Stay safe out there.
Don't barrel down the highway if you have zero visibility.
Remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World.
