    Everyone ok?

    Just wondering if fellow Creekers in the states affected by the tornados are OK?? Sure hope so. What a mess.

    We dodged another bullet here in the Lexington KY area, as for the second time this week most of the severe storms passed below the I-64 E~W boundry.

    We are fine here in the Indy area; but the southern part of Indiana is not doing well. In the area of an east/west band between Scottsburg and Louisville the death count is approaching 15 the last I heard. At least one small town was flattened. My thoughts and prayers go out to those in the path of the twisters.

    I had an email from John Keeton... he and his family are doing fine. Storm went North of them. My heart goes out to all those affected by the storm system!

    I do not know about southern Kentucky storm -wise but northern KY and the two states due north [Ohio & Indiana ]took a good hit from a number of twisters, the news stations starting their report about 3:00PM and they are still talking at 10:30 PM

    Hey Vince, sorry to hear how close that devastation was to you, but glad to hear it skirted you. Just an awful system...has me up later than normal just trying to get good visual of the path before going to sleep. Thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the storm.

    I'm glad to hear of Creekers that have dodged the bullet and thoughts and prayers go out to those not so fortunate and I hope the weather settles down tomorrow.

    We're here in Chattanooga and according to the weather folks and the radar we had one go right over the house. Heard some pretty hellacious wind for about 5 minutes at one point but that's all we noticed. Got a few limbs down and that sort of thing, but nothing big enough to turn yet, heh. Oh and the power went out for all of 5 minutes at one point, so not bad all things considered, had it out for 2 days last time we had the big storms.

    New guy on here by the by, just been lurking for the most part, so hello folks.

    Jon welcome to the creek. Sounds like you had a close one. Glad you and your family are ok. It might be a blessing that it didnt knock anything down large enough to turn.
    Thank you,
