Tornados Hit My Area Hard

[kyfanatic]

Yesterdays storms tore through Northern Ky spawning multiple tornados,I took pictures of one that went north of my place here in Pendleton county hitting Falmouth and eventually Moscow,Ohio. I have a lot of family and friends in southern Kenton county where around Piner and Morningview destruction was terrible,at least 3 confirmed deaths and most likely more.

Wow!!!! That's bad. Any damage to your stuff??

I have some trees down,but being a former homebuilder,I built my house to Hurricane codes,not that that would totally stop damage,but it wouldn't fly apart very easy.
I have many friends in Southern Kenton,Southern Campbell,and Northern Pendleton county that had a lot of damage or lost everything.The Tornado I took a picture of is the one that went to Moscow,Ohio.
Even though I'm a long ways from Moscow,Ohio every bit of 20 miles,I can see the smokestack at the power plant there because my home is up on a high ridge.There are a couple more confirmed fatalities in this area today,a woman that was driving on I-75 near Walton,Ky was found dead in her car that was blown into a nearby field,another man found dead in his car as well.Here's a link to Kentucky Enquirer Aerial pics of damage in Campbell county and Moscow.
