One Kentucky man took matters into his own hands and decided to help feed tornado victims, reported Yahoo! News.
Jim Finch is being haled as a hero after hauling his BBQ grill to Mayfield, one of the hardest-hit areas in the state. He decided to cook for people whose homes were destroyed. Finch said, "I just figured I would do what I could do, show up with some food and water."
A video was posted of Finch, which quickly went viral. The clip has already reached more than 5.3 million views.
In the video, Finch says:
"I know they don’t have any electricity, so that means they don’t have any restaurants, no running water so I just figured I would do what I could do, show up with some food and some water."

Jim wore a smile the whole morning, we laugh when I asked if he had a restaurant. He shook his head, “it just needed to be done,” he said. pic.twitter.com/tpZ1LMvdOA
