Storm Update

We interrupt the regularly scheduled Flashback Friday to give an update on the tornados in the area today.  For the past two days, the weatherazzi has had us all in a frenzy over the probability of tornados today.  Yesterday evening, our governor even issued a statement, telling the state to be prepared and plan for such an emergency.

First of all, let me give a big thank you Lord because Louisville was spared from today's tornados and storms.  Unfortunately southern Indiana was not as lucky.  Tornados that were over a half mile wide ripped through that area.  One entire town was demolished. As of now, there have been five confirmed deaths from this afternoon's storms. 


At The Compound, I'm ashamed to say that the ground barely was covered in sprinkles, and the only thing we got was some wind.  Like I said, thank you Lord for once again watching over us and keeping us safe.  Where we are along the Ohio River is a small little pocket - and that has protected us from many a tornado and damaging storm.

Our prayers go out to those affected by today's storms and tornados.

A comment about today's storms from my dear friend MLM:

Louisville is thankful that we fell in the donut hole of the storm that passed through our area in a line that stretched from East Texas through Illinois and beyond. From about 1 pm to 5 pm, our area was having pop-up storms and then two lines of strong storms. Louisville Metro area was spared damage. 35 miles north of us, along the I-65 corridor in Indiana, communities were devastated. Henryville and Marysville, Indiana have damage and fatalities. Our hearts hurt for them. Counties in Central Kentucky and Northern Kentucky have also sustained damage and the storms are continuing to move East. Prayers of thanks and prayers for all who weep and are now fearful as the storm passes. Other parts of the USA are experiencing these storms followed by very cold weather and snow, up north. I am thankful for the weather analysis professionals who have tracked these storms and gave us useful warnings.
