Tornados Hit My Area Hard

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.

[QUOTE=DJD;482668]Wow!!!! That's bad. Any damage to your stuff??[/QUOTE]

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.

God bless to all. Those are some scary pictures.

Here are some copy/paste excerpts from the latest news releases here

7:37 p.m. from Jim Hannah

PINER – Kenton County police have released the name of the fourth person who died in Kenton County during Friday’s storms.

Courtney Stephenson, 42, of Falmouth died when her vehicle was thrown about 100 yards east of northbound Interstate 75 near Crittenden. She had been traveling southbound on I-75 at the time the storm hit.

Her body was discovered near her vehicle Saturday morning by a resident walking his property.


6:07 p.m. from Mike Rutledge in Peach Grove, Pendleton County

Pendleton County Sheriff Craig Peoples estimated 200 structures were damaged in the county but said there were only five minor injuries from the storms. Three of the injuries came from structure damage from a storm-related vehicle accident.

Ouch. Bless those peoples' hearts.
