Default Kentucky tornados

https://www.yahoo.com/news/2-dead-5-...032820873.html

Currently in Springfield Missouri and we got multiple tornado watch/warnings last night. Haven’t seen a storm like that in years and we escaped the major damage! Thoughts n prayers go out to the folks in Kentucky and surrounding areas! Cant imagine a tornado on the ground for over 200 miles!!

Seen pictures of the one town that got hit. Completely levelled half the town. Couldn’t imagine being in that

Their saying its the most devastating tornado ever in the state. its becoming an everyday problem it seems. These happenings always put in mind of my fathers old saying,,Signs and wonders before the end of times.

Tragic for so many.

Never seen that level of destruction. One video showed apartment buildings gone.

Stay safe and all the best wishes to those affected. The death toll is already tragic, feel very bad for all the folks in the path.

I’ve got some friends that live in the northern part of Kentucky. Just got off the phone with one buddy he says the tornado was about 20 miles away from where he lives. Says it was on the ground for over 200 miles which is almost un-heard of with quite a wide path of destruction at times too by the sounds of it. That’s crazy.

Just saw the pictures and video of Mayfield Kentucky, wow that's horrible and devastating! Snow seems pretty good to me right now.

May God Bless the victims.

Way back, one of my neighbors picked up his Texan relatives from the airport. One of them commented, that sure looks like a tornado forming up there. No, we don't have tornados in Alberta. That was the day Edmonton got hit.

I believe it! Kind of like when you see snow clouds on the horizon and know what’s coming!

Saw a good chunk of news on it this morning. Words cannot describe what those folks went through and will be for some time to come. Many cannot even get a cell line out. They're pinned down in a he** on Earth. I heard word of it over these many days yet did not fully understand the scale of damage. So so saddening.
