Not sure if this was a neighborhood or what but it's totally destroyed now.

I was worried we would see catastrophic damage in the smaller communities in the path of these horrific tornadoes. Any word from (but not limited to) Hornersville, Hayti, Wynnburg, Samburg, Woodland Mills, State Line, Crutchfield, Benton, Cambridge Shores, Princeton, Dawson Springs, Earlington, Hartford or Olaton?

Well I guess that answers my question about what happened in Dawson Springs...

Total devastation in Dawson Springs. Tuscaloosa/Joplin-esque.

This wasn’t the same as April 27 by any means, but that mayfield tornado was as strong as any on that day I believe

Cambridge Shores




Edit: the Twitter post is how I got to the video that is said to now be unavailable if linking directly from FB, but I can still open it from the tweet link.

"Gone" is obviously a strong word but I think I see a couple slabs here too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

The debarking in that photo (particularly by that blue car)... insane.

I have relatives that live in Kentucky and thankfully can report they were all spared by last night's storms... but my heart goes out to all those who were in the path of these horrific tornadoes.

Really really hoping this doesn't come to fruition

Glad to hear that they're okay

Or lack there of. Total absence of anchor bolts with that foundation. Can’t rate that higher than EF3, but I’m sure there were other more well-built structures that would warrant a higher rating.

Generally speaking the construction quality of homes and buildings in a lot of Kentucky is superior to that of what is found in say Alabama or Mississippi. With such a long and broad damage path, I have little doubt that there will be a decent number of structures that can qualify for EF-5 damage if the DIs are there.

That picture, obviously, is not an example of what I'm referring to.

I lived in Kentucky for a period of time and was somewhat surprised by the general quality of construction that I observed. Granted, this is not a hard and fast rule across the board, and I am less familiar with this particular part of Kentucky.

Isolated supercells are forming ahead of the main line in south Alabama. Tornado warned storm near Greenville.

I am going to think again before starting a new severe threat thread.

High end damage in Samburg TN from the first of the long tracked tornadoes from the main supercell (this was the tri-state tornado that initially struck the nursing home in Monette AR).
