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!
