Tornado in western Kentucky


Two dead last I heard in Edwardsville Illinois at the Amazon facility that had the roof collapse. I think they are still searching for people in there.

Glad I got delayed yesterday, then got lazy yesterday and stayed in Virginia.

Heading back across this region today and tomorrow.
 
Can't remember the last time I heard about an EF5 touching down.

Made me think of the "finger of God scene"

8 years ago.




#43 on the list.. The one that hit Plainfield, IL.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. I lived 8 miles away and I was outside in the front yard getting screamed at by my mom telling me to come back inside because there was hail and stuff, and the tornado sirens were going off.

What seems to be more difficult is finding out how long its been since a tornado touched down and stayed down for over 200 miles.

Usually they skip across like a rock on a pond.

In the early 1990's a small tornado did minor damage at Lewis University Airport, then jumped over my neighborhood and touched down again at the high school athletic field, doing minor damage to the bleachers or some little groundskeeper tool shed.

At which point they simply add to the number of tornadoes that touched down, rather than calling it a single tornado. I remembered the Moore, OK tornado shortly after posting about trying to remember the F5's of the past. Remembered it because the previous tornado in Moore hit a truck stop that my mom was parked in, picked her up and relocated her to another part of the parking lot. Not far, just picked her up and relatively gently sit her right back down. Other trucks weren't so lucky.

The tik tok mentioned the last time..the odd thing is the last time.was in the same general area.
