Tornadoes and Moor's resort

[the_donger]

There was only the one guy there, no rescue or anything like that when I went. If there had been I would have turned around and left before getting there, I am not a TOTAL moron.

I managed to sleep through it because I was making candles all night and into the morning til about 9 a.m. Woke up to thunder and no power. No power = no info...

Lucky that the tornado did not come by your house while you were sleeping. Sounds like a good reason to invest in a battery powered weather radio.

It looks like 2 tornados touched down near Paris, TN, one in Southern Montgomery county just South of Clarksville, one in Benton, KY, and a few others here in there in the rural areas. From what I have seen Benton and Montgomery County were hit pretty hard, Paris's emergency management center was hit as well, sort of ironic...

Glad that everyone made it through those storms and prayers go out to the less fortunate.

I would definitly think about purchasing a weather radio if you dont have one, buy 2, one for your boat and one for the house.

It is 8:30 here central time and the Marshall County EMS is still requesting that folks stay away from the Moor's Camp Road, Big Bear Road and Dunn's Cemetary Road area so that the utility and road crews can complete their repairs and clear the roads. Residents will be allowed back into the area at 11:00 a.m.

Dave, glad you and your wife is ok. Sad to hear about the other damage--especially the person in the trailer. We'll keep you all in our prayers!

Hmmm, I went and read Kentucky.com and Cnn.com for more info on the tornados. Seems that Paris Tn is still there and was not hit as hard as I heard. Also, the number of tornados in unknown but from what I read, it did not sound like there were 30 + tornados. Thank goodness, only part of the sky fell.

Really puts things in perspective. The cover on my boat got shredded last night by straight-line winds in excess of 70 MPH here in BG. I started to whine and my wife quickly shut me up and pointed to the news story on TV concerning the damage near Benton. I felt real silly at that point. Our prayers go out to all those affected by this last storm. Boat covers, boats, roofs and even marinas can be replaced (well insured I hope)...human life cannot. Hope things get back to normal soon.
