I hope all in lower Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama are faring ok during today's nasty outbreak of severe storms - damaging tornados already reported. Let the storms pass and martins in!

Just had a bad one here with high wind damage within one mile, possible tornado. Golf ball size hail for a ten minute period. Damage to gourds and greenhouse. More still to come.

We are taking cover. People just to the east of us appear to have a large tornado on the ground at this time.

dc,

We're looking forward to seeing you back on here with your family and friends safe and nothing more than physical assets to repair!

Thanks, we are safe but I'm concerned about Bud & Brenda Angus in West Liberty Kentucky. The small town was hit hard by a large tornado late today. Hope they respond to this post.

Very bad day for many in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee with possibly more tornadoes developing as we post. Hope this is over after today. We will know more about damage in the coming days.

Best wishes to everyone.
Don in Kentucky.
