Kentucky tornadoes: At least 4 touched down, up to 100 people likely killed
WLKY ^ | 9:27 AM EST Dec 11, 2021

Posted on 12/11/2021 8:01:03 AM PST by BenLurkin

Gov. Andy Beshear said dozens, maybe up to 100, were killed in western Kentucky after a long and significant tornado ripped through the area overnight.

"We believe our death toll from this event will exceed 50 Kentuckians and probably end up 70 to 100," said Beshear.

The city of Mayfield, Kentucky was hit particularly hard, including a candle manufacturing factory that was operating at the time the twister hit. There were 110 people in the building at the time that it was nearly collapsed by the tornado. Dozens are expected to be lost from there, Beshear said.

NOT a good day in the middle of the country. Prayers up.

And, countdown to “CLIMAGEDDON” to blame for more severe/frequent tornadoes?

We have another major weather system approaching us here in western NV to last about 3 days and it will likely shift east by next week so it could be ugly again.

Those folks should have been sent home to be with their families since it was a known threat.

There was a reason America was the last continent to be occupied by humans. We have tornadoes, earth quakes, extreme cold and heat, river floods, etc. all in one country.

Wall to wall weather coverage last night 17 Tornadoes across multiple states.
AR, MS, KY, TN, possibly more. UNSUAL SEASONAL WARM WEATHER, 103 YR HIGH. 83 IN MEMPHIS. WAS 70 AT 10 PM. NEVER SEEN THAT WIDE A SWATH OF ANGRY RED ON THE RADAR. AR Nursing home demolished, 1 dead 5 injured. 50 in another state, 50 in yet another, there will be more. When we went to bed it was headed towards Dyersburg, TN. Channels 5,3, 13 all have stories.

I’ve had to turn the AC on on Christmas day but that was 20 yrs ago.

It is 43 right now in Atoka, TN. 30 miles from Memphis.

Twitter lefties have been doing that already. I've been correcting some by using wikipedia's list of major tornadoes of North America. The deadliest outbreak on record is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1896_tornado_outbreak_sequence

Hardly can be blamed on methane and population density was lower then too. Hadn't really even got into the industrial age.

A total of 484 people were killed during the entire outbreak sequence by at least 38 different tornadoes which struck Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.[nb 1][nb 2]

You know that to “them” FACTS DON’T MATTER. Toss this to them and tell them you’ll wait:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
