Hope you all remain untouched!

For the curious, here is a great archive of coverage of the 4/3/74 tornadoes by WHAS (scroll down the page). Fascinating listening!

Foolishly, many towns and cities tore down their sirens. Too noisy when they went off every noon hour. Now there is a new awakening to their value. Not everyone is sitting in front of a radio, a TV set, or a computer waiting for weather reports. What better way is there to immediately notify an entire community of an impending threat. Personally, the siren’s single test blare at noon time in the small hamlet located a few miles from my country farm is music to my ears. There is a watchman looking out for me.

That is one of the dangers of wintertime in the south, the danger of tornados, just as it is in southern New England, in the summertime because of the heat and humitty, with the t-storms that come afterwards.

Many of my relatives came from E-town...stay safe. Still no all clear yet, but seems to be winding down here in the Middletown area.

It’s 24º warmer in Lexingon, KY, which the front has not yet reached, than in St. Louis, where the front has already passed through. That says there’s a lot of energy in that line of storms.

Very odd weather, for sure. Louisville getting reports of wind damage, but no confirmation of tornado touch downs. It should be hitting Lexington in about an hour.

All clear called for the Louisville area—parts east will probably be getting it. A fast moving one for sure.
