apparently, West Liberty, KY got a direct hit from a tornado. They said it's a 'mass casualties incident'
Can't find anymore info on it |

I live in NKY, tornadoes all around me, but they missed me. All were a bit north, or south. I'm just west of the Cincinnati/NKY Airport.

I'm seeing photos of some tornado damage not 10 minutes south of my house from a tornado. Relatives of friends lost their home.

I talked to a friend today that just got back from Branson, MO. He said the pictures do not do the devastation justice.
Lucky that one hit on a Monday night in Feb. and not a Saturday night in June. For those that dont know, Branson, MO. is the hub of tourism in Missouri. |

At one point there were three separate tornado warnings for Rowan county, but my in-laws escaped without any in their town.

It's almost kind of spooky, watching FB friends log off one by one as the storms move across Georgia & TN. Like a weird version of a Facebook Stormtracker

Apparently I have some friend that are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Dude was joking (I thought) about getting some Little Debbie's before the storm hit ... he's now hunkered down in the back of the Canton, GA Target store with tornado sirens blaring. Idiot actually went to get Lil Debbie's. SMFH.

Confirmed touchdown pretty far to the west, out near Dallas in Paulding Co. Airborne debris confirmed in Gwinnett (Suwanee) and Cobb (Marietta). Warning for Cherokee (Canton) earlier tonight, no damage reported. Warning to the south/east of me at the moment, Barrow (Winder) over to Commerce & Jefferson. Hook echoes, etc etc around Rome all night (I think they've been under at least 4 warnings)

I read somewhere that there have been 90+ tornadoes today. The average for the month of March is usually 86 or so.

Well, I live about 10 miles from Henryville and work about 4 miles from Marysville/Nabb. We were held at school until 4:30 because the tornado that passed so near to us. At one point we had huge hail and sideways rain.
After we were released, Henryville was asking for volunteers with training to come and help. I have CPR, First Aid, First Response training so I went down and stayed about 3 hours until enough professional personnel got there that I was no longer needed. It's hyperbole to say that it was a war zone, but it was definitely devastating. Today, we went back out to where we work and then down to Marysville to drop off donations to the command post there. From Marysville, down a county road, then to Chelsea, you could follow the path of where the tornado went. There are several instances where there was nothing left of the house but a foundation. Really count ourselves lucky....a small shift would have sent that straight for our school. Our babysitter and her mom were even luckier, the tornado seemed to shift and move in a different direction mere yards from their house. My wife is almost shell shocked by it all.   |

Yeah, Evansville is about 2 hours away from us. I was actually there last weekend.
Just heard on the local news that the tornado in Henryville was an F4, and ranks as one of the top 2% of strongest tornados of all time. |

As if the poor folks south of me don't have enough to deal with, we got about 5 inches of snow last night. So about 48-60 hours after tornadoes destroyed their lives, they've got 30 degree weather and 5 inches of snow on top of the debris.

None of my family have had anything serious going on but a lot of my former co-workers are from West Liberty and Salyersville but I haven't seen them in years.

I'm in Versailles, about 5 minutes from Lawrenceburg. We gpt lucky - a couple of cells moved south and north of us, and we had a tornado warning for about an hour or so but once that first line passed, it all trended south of us and we had a nice evening, beyond 5:30-6 or so. Completely random. That could be me.

Very familiar with Versailles. My first job was there..doing the breakfast shift at the old Hardees out on the Bypass..my ex-wife grew up there and went to HS at Woodford Co. I'm usually down there a couple times a year visiting and playing the horses when Keeneland is open, beautiful track. My son-in-law works at the crossing over on Nicholasville Road, and supposed a tornado boucned over the parking lots. Daughter says it's supposed to hit the 60's this week, so maybe you all can start getting on with springtime, like it's supposed to be.

We've been in the 60s quite a bit this winter. We've only been here 6 years, but this is the strangest winter so far. We only had 2.3 inches of snow until last night, and we got 5.3 - which is pretty close to the biggest single-event snow we've had since we moved here.

I've seen some good snows there over the years. Last winter here on Long Island, we had at least 3 separate storms leaving over 18 inches of snow. You guys got more snow last night than we've had here, this winter, for the combined season. I've been around for all of 44 years, with the first 30 being down by you, and I've never seen anything like this. Don't know what got you to Versailles, but you made a good choice. Some of the most beautiful farm country I've ever seen spreads throughout Woodford and Anderson Counties.

It's too early for SPC, but sometime later this week- Wednesday or Thursday- when this heat dome over the Midwest collapses- there's going to be some crazy stuff if it's at the wrong time of day

Had a pretty huge storm roll through the Hill Country last night. Luckily no reports of tornadoes, outside of a small one SW of San Antonio. But it my house about 1am, and there was continuous thunder for over 30 minutes, and outside my window looked like a strobe light with all of the lightning. While still not full, the rain hit the sweet spot for filling the lakes around here that have been critically low the past couple of years.

Well, crap. The tornado that was outside San Antonio evidently was right at the spot where one of my uncles lives. No one has heard from his this morning. I might be making a trip down there in a bit to check in on him.

He's ok. His property did take a direct hit, but luckily it just uprooted some trees and took out his shed and an old chicken coop. It was only 50 feet away from his house.

Lots of tornadoes on the ground in Dallas/Fort Worth. My mom just called and said my 5 year old niece was trying to get outside to see one after they showed one on the news, because it looked cool.

Well, that was exciting. I'm in Arlington; not sure if whatever it was that went past us was a tornado or not, but it was blowing like hell.
