Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the states devastated by tornadoes. I apologize if someone has already posted a thread about this. It just breaks my heart and weighs heavy on my mind.

When I heard about the tornadoes on the news this morning I texted my husband's cousin who recently moved to KY. Luckily they were not in the area that was affected but nonetheless others were not so lucky. 
Now I have to call one of our neighbors who also has family there.

So scary, and so many southern homes don’t have basements to hide in!
So many people died. It was a long tornado. Terrible.
I am in Central Ohio and went outside around 5:30 Saturday morning and it felt like Spring. It was 62 degrees at 5:30 in the morning in December in Ohio. The front came through later in the day with rain and the temps dropped 20 degrees. Ohio wasn't hit with the tornadoes.
Crazy weather. My area got from 12 to 21 inches of snow on Friday and we are supposed to be getting thunderstorms and 40 degree temps mid week!

Isn't there an old saying that thunder after snow means more snow on the way?
And that's true about southern homes not having basements. Including my own...
I haven't checked for an update about the tornadoes yet today. I almost don't want to see. So awful.

I just saw an interview with a 70 year old man who survived the tornado. Now he's searching for his two cats, unsuccessfully so far. The interviewer was practically in tears talking with him.

That is sad, they may well have been his only day to day companions. I wouldn't count them out though. They may still be hiding somewhere.

I talked to my neighbor who said her brother and s-i-l that live in KY were not affected but her cousins live in Mayfield, one of the hardest hit areas of the tornado. Fortunately they were safe.
