Hi Mike, yes unfortunately these tornadoes are becoming more and more prevalent and hitting places they rarely or never hit before and leaving devastation in the way of lost lives and destroyed homes and businesses. My heart goes out to everyone who has experienced losses in this and previous ones. Lives have been touched dramatically and I feel their pain. :( When I first told people I was moving down here to Florida they almost always said they wouldn't want to live here because of the hurricanes but I would remind them of all the tornadoes that had been hitting Tennessee where I lived. One hit near where my son lives in middle Tennessee last week while they were down here visiting me and it came very close to their home but thankfully it missed them. There were two people killed by that one though and there was a tremendous amount of property damage. The bad thing about a tornado is there is very little warning for people to take action, and especially at night while people are asleep, where as with a hurricane there is usually advanced warning, giving people time to get to safety. I'm sure I'll eventually experience one and I am certainly not looking forward to it but that is the price you have to pay living here and I do like living here, very much. Florida now has very strict building codes, or so I've been told, so hopefully when the next one does hit, my house will be left standing, but I will not stay around to see, that's for sure. I'll head up I/75 and go visit family for a few days. :) Quote:
 Hi all,
Yesterday, Southern Indiana was ravaged by destructive Tornadoes. I don't know how many were reported, however at least one of them basically wiped out the small town of Hendrysville which is located on the Indiana/Kentucky border. Reports indicate that so far only four deaths have been confirmed. I believe that the news media should eliminate the word "Only" when referring to how many lives have been lost. Only may sound like a good thing, but how good is it to other family members that have just lost a loved one? There are many stories coming out from survivors of this act of nature and there is an ongoing search for survivors. When the devasting news of these monster storms were reported throughout the news channels in Indiana a lot of volunteer workers headed to the area to do what they could to help. I have three videos of the disaster. Watch the skies and listen to the sounds because even if you do not live in an area that has tornadoes it does not mean that there won't be one coming your way shortly. In the past couple of years, Tornadoes have been creating damage in areas that they have never been before. Admittedly, four is a small number, however if one of those four is a family member it is not so small.
For those who have lost their lives in the several tornadoes that wreaked Havoc in several locations and states yesterday, R.I.P. and for those that were left behind without your loved ones, I pray for you.
GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~
