ptree Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The severe tornado outbreak in Southern Indiana was very close to me but missed my home. About 15 miles north of me however is a path of death and destruction. schools full of kids hit, several towns flattened. BIG tornado, on the ground for maybe 90 miles, followed 20 minutes later by another. Saw on the radar and TV 5 confirmed on the ground at once. I was in KY at work, putting my folks in shelter and seeing them head what looked like right at my house. Big lump, as the cell phone towers went down and could not raise the family. but mine are OK. North, of me they need prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptree Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Now to add insult to injury, a heavy wet 5-7" of snow fell last night on the tornado area where folks are struggling to live without electricity. Supposed to hit 60F tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musk-rat Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was one of the lucky ones too. Henryville is just down the road from me, and the storm stop just in time. I have never seen so much damage in one place before. The Mid-America Science Park in Scottsburg is taking donations if anyone would like to help out.

ptree Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Another round today, Louisville suberb Fern Creek got hit this afternoon, at least an F-1. And since the sun came back out, for another 4 hours since the energy has rebuilt. Round 2 is upon us, and I see massive build-ups. Tornado watch till 1:00 am Saturday. Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
