October 18, 2007: MAJOR TORNADO OUTBREAK HAS HIT KENTUCKY

 

  Long day.  Four hours sleep since Wednesday Night.  I am ready for bed!  Ironic the newspaper article ran today.  We had hours and hours of warnings.  NUMEROUS tornadoes have hit multiple states.  Kentucky has been hit very hard.  Dozens of injuries and some fatalities are being reported.  Many towns and cities have been hit by what appears to be significant tornadoes.  Major damage in the Owensboro and Louisville area.  Many other counties hit hard. 

  Graves County had some damage from a tornado that touched down.  We had a wall cloud move over my house.

  It has been one of the bigger October outbreaks that I can remember.  I am glad we are all safe!

October 18, 2007: Mid-Terms/Weather/Newspaper

 

  Tired.  Long night watching/tracking severe weather.  Long day yesterday as well.  More severe weather will be possible this morning and then again this afternoon.  Could be some strong tornadoes across portions of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.  Looks rough.

  GREAT NEWS!  I made an A on my Stats Test!  I thought for sure I would end up with a C.  I am SOOOOOO HAPPY about this because that is not my favorite subject.  I guess all that studying paid off!  I made a B on my Synoptic Meteorology test.  SO I AM THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  The newspaper article came out today!  I cut and pasted it below!
