2BobTanner“Gov. Beshear confirmed during the briefing that more than 50 are likely dead in western Kentucky.
“He said there were likely four likely tornadoes that hit multiple places in the state, with the
primary tornado being on the ground for more than 200 miles. “It’s the longest tornado touchdown, distance-wise, in Kentucky’s history, Beshear said.“

Scooter123There was a candle factory in Mayfield that was completely flattened by the tornado. Current estimates are that there were 110 people inside.
IMO Prayers are in order.
I've stopped counting.

tk13My wife's paternal aunt lives in Mayfield. She and her husband escaped any serious storm damage, but their son lost his entire barn to include a tractor and two cars. Lost as in completely gone, no debris of any kind left behind.

HRKWatched the weather app showing the storms, massive stuff, have some friends in the area,
can't get through, power, phones down one client in Dawson Springs which was hit pretty hard..

mdblantonPrayers for all affected. Hard to comprehend the power of those long-track tornadoes. I expect a scar on the land will be visible in new satellite images.

RogueJSKIllinois and Arkansas both got hit pretty hard with multiple tornados too. Several mass casualty events, including an Amazon warehouse in Illinois and a nursing home in Arkansas.

SOKYSig11 confirmed dead (by coroner) in Bowling Green, Ky. Corvette plant damaged. Northern industrial park had several buildings with roofs off and one building completely flattened. Western Kentucky University and surrounding communities damaged. Many homes completely destroyed.

nhtagmemberThere is an Amazon distribution facility that was flattened with 150 inside working. Also a Walmart somewhere.
I fear the death toll is going to be significant

dking271We were fortunate to only have some relatively minor damage to our roof and a bunch of shutters blow off the house. I finished repairs on the shutters and we’re waiting on a roofing company to come and assess the damage. Prayers for those less fortunate that have been impacted far greater than us.

Merc50Our son and his family live in BG a few miles from the Corvette plant. They were lucky, homes were destroyed one block over from them, but their house was okay.
