Prayers for those affected by the storms last night

[Tennessee Boy]

It was a long night across several states in the south.   Looks like Kentucky was hit hard with a lot of fatalities.  Hope everyone on the forum is okay.

I know exactly where Mayfield is. My grandparents and 3sets of aunts/uncles  used to live there. They all have passed before the '90's though. Terrible storm, prayers to all affected...

Prayers sent up.

I went to a wedding in Mayfield once.  It was a very charming town.  It will probably never be the same.  They said the candle factory was the town’s biggest employer.  Last number  I heard was 60 still missing from the factory.

Watched drone footage from Mayfield, they definitely need prayer.

Very sad. I can't imagine the horror. My thoughts are with the victims' families today.

I heard about this after I got up this morning. I told my wife “wow, that sounds like the Tri State Tornado from decades ago!” (1925). It was. This is the Quad State Tornado. Simply horrific and tragic.

Saw on the news that at least 100 people lost their lives last night. A true tragedy, Prayers go out to them and their loved ones.

Catastrophic loss of life and property.  I hope everyone on the forums is ok.

 

For those of you who attended the Kentucky Lake RoadTrip at Moors Resort, the tornado passed about 3/4 mi to the north of it. It sustained minor damage, but the nearby neighborhood of beautiful lakefront homes was wiped out....completely.  They found a car in the lake.

Tragic loss of life. Heart breaking for the family members and survivors. 

[NYWayfarer]

Unimaginable tragedy. My heart goes out to all those families.

Terrible, even worse to happen right during the holidays when everyone is suppose to be celebrating and enjoying family.

 

I just drove through where a monster F5 ripped through about 30 minutes from our house a few years ago, the width and severity of the damage to the trees is hard to really comprehend. Thankfully that one hit mostly farmland (although the parents of a highschool friend did lose their house to it. He was there and even set out his Gopro right before it hit, pretty insane video). Can't imagine if it had gone through cities like this one did.
