Severe Weather

As many of you may know we had some major severe weather last week.  There were five confirmed tornado's in our viewing area.  The damage and loss of life has been extensive but we were lucky close to the city not to have been affected much.  
The map shows the beginning and end of the tornado's in our area.  If you blow up the map you can see the star where Nate's parents and extended family live in Grant's Lick.  Eyewitness reports show that the funnel cloud lifted off the ground for the few miles right over Grant's Lick.  Boy was Nate's family lucky.  If it had stayed on the ground there is no doubt that their homes would have been in the thick of things.  We feel very blessed that they are all safe and our hearts and prayers go out to those in our area who were not so lucky.  Here's hoping we do not see anything like this again in our area for a very long time.
