Holy hell. I am so so sorry, Pisco. The south and the nation stand with you my friend. I survived a direct hit from a massive deadly hit in Bossier City when I was a kid and it’s really the only fear I have. Do your best to console and comfort those in your community and let us know what we can do. My most sincere thoughts and prayers.

You had enough warning to head to a church to shelter? Was there a siren and do you head there everytime it goes off? Do many in that area have tornado shelters?

Holy crap. That town may never recover from this. People may just pack up and leave. Usually, a small town like that doesn't have much of an anchor to it (industry, jobs, etc) so many people may just leave. Sad because small towns can be awesome places.

Prayers to you, Pisco.

Governor Beshear is here and said DHS is sending in the heavy equipment. Likely to become a Federal Disaster Area. They’re working around the clock to restore water and power.
