Government thinking that citizens were better off handling the aftermath of a disaster instead for preparing for it.

Several headstones at a cemetery were shattered or thrown up to 250 yards through the air, and a trunk lid from Sherman was found 35 miles away. Reliable reports said that numerous bodies were carried hundreds of yards, and that multiple deaths occurred in 17 different families; seven deaths were in one family alone.

Hitting Ctrl+F and searching for December gives you 53 results which are actually 23 separate tornadoes or tornado outbreaks so don't let anyone tell you December is "rare". Plenty for Nov, January, February, March as well.

All of the above were before the Industrial Age.

Comrade Governor Beshear came on TV the other night and ask that we PRAY for the people in that part of the state! But remember, this is the same Comrade Governor who sent the Kentucky State Police out to prevent people from going to church with his early COVID totalitarianism proclamations.
