Terrible, saw a report that they think it was one huge tornado on the ground for 200 miles.

And yes, we are going to hear a lot of climate change screaming now.

I was watching WLKY in the wee hours of the morning and Beshear indicated this was a long track tornado that may have been on the ground for 200 miles.

That is extraordinarily unusual although not unheard of. It will be interesting to see if it breaks the record for the longest which until last night I think was the Tri State tornado of 1925 that emerged on the ground in Missouri, crossed the Mississippi river, went all the way across Illinois, and did not lift until it reached Petersburg, Indiana, 219 miles.

There are two ‘correct’ answers for each question.

One for Whites, and one for Blacks.

Critical Climate Theory.

Oh F....

I missed that. I’ll call them. I can always pull the donation I sent back.

SORRY... My excuse is that the tornado watches kept me up all night.

OMG. How many are buried there???

Forgive my ignorance... With all that debris, it is hard to tell, but it looks to me as though those homes don’t have basements for the most part. Is that common there?

That is unreal.
I was reading that while spring is considered the main severe season when the jet stream lifts north that there is a secondary season as it heads back south.

It looks like that it what happening.

Just to put things in perspective: this a town where the THE post office and THE middle school were destroyed. Population of about 10k in town and 35k in the county. Been texting some friends and what I have heard is “ our little town is destroyed”

Re: 2 - Eh, Really? Dozens of people killed. And that sort of “humor”?

Time and place for everything. Well, maybe not, I guess.
