A brutal hailstorm turned parts of Nebraska into a disaster zone last week, smashing every window at a Fremont hotel and leaving vehicles looking like they’d survived a bombing run. This is what happens when nature’s fury meets a society that’s forgotten how to build tough infrastructure – and it’s hardworking Americans who pay the price.
Eyewitness Eric Pettis captured terrifying footage of softball-sized hail demolishing his girlfriend’s car while they drove to a concert. “Please don’t break my windshield!” she screams in the video as ice chunks pound the vehicle – a chilling reminder that life in real America can turn dangerous faster than coastal elites can say “climate change.”
The worst damage hit a local hotel where every single window exploded under the hail’s assault. “Holy smokes! The whole place is gone,” one stunned resident reported. These aren’t luxury high-rises – they’re family-owned businesses struggling to survive in Biden’s economy, now facing repair bills that could finish them off.
Records show Fremont’s been hammered by 70 severe weather warnings in just one year. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming the weather and start asking why towns aren’t building stronger structures. Our grandparents knew how to weather storms without begging Washington for handouts.
Pettis’s girlfriend now faces a totaled car and insurance red tape. This is the reality for millions as inflation drives up repair costs – another example of how the working class gets squeezed while bureaucrats pad their budgets.
Forecasters warn more storms are coming, but where’s the urgency from leaders? The FOX Forecast Center does more real work tracking threats than entire federal agencies wasting tax dollars on green energy fantasies.
The heartland’s been taking punches all month, with five lives lost to Oklahoma storms over Easter. These tragedies hit communities that still fly the flag and say the Pledge – the America the left wants to erase.
As Fremont picks up the pieces, remember this: Patriot spirit rebuilds faster than FEMA forms can be filed. While coastal media mocks “flyover country,” real Americans are praying, volunteering, and proving resilience doesn’t come from government – it comes from faith, family, and the freedom to handle our own business.
