That storm that came thru here the other day was quite serious. Tornado watch all day. Clouds were bookin it across the sky, wind was whipin. I filled up every water tank and bucket, filled up water containers in the house, just in case we lost power. I got my papers, laptop, little tv, phone in the bathroom. Back outside to do chores. I leave all the stock out, they are safer in the open, but they can go in and out of the barn if they want. We have 12 ponies/mini horses, goats and sheep. They stay together as a herd, and I let them decide where to go. I would not want them locked up. They have about 11 acres and they can run fast!
I watched channel 32 all evening and prayed, they had no regular TV programs that night. Even Survivor didn't show. (I don't watch it) Kentucky had tornadoes everywhere, 12 at a time, all marching up this way. There were 3 close to us. We had a bit of hail from the system over Big Spring. It was really nasty weather, and we do take the weather channel seriously in times like that. We get real tornadoes here in KY. Sirens were going off in Vine Grove where my son and family live, about 10 minutes north of us. This was all at 10 at night too. That storm missed us, and then another big one got here around 1am. We finally got allot of rain then.
On family to the NW of us, Clark County IN, lost their brand new house. Horses were running in the field, were ok, but they lost some puppies. Their barns were gone. The family was not home thank goodness. The house was leveled to just basement walls. There was allot of damage over there by Owensboro KY and the river into IN, one person didn't make it. Owensboro and Clark County In was getting hammered all evening and night. One after another after another.
I don't like those kind of storms, going NE, one after the other sweeping over. Much easier to handle the one line of storms and then it's over.
