Yeah, doing OK clydeh. Thanks for asking.
The wind was worse than the rain. A tornado set down about 5 miles away and was pretty intense for about 30 mins....lost power over night and had to sleep with my terrified Beagle but everything is intact.

M.M.
glad to hear you are okay. The news reported that Tuscaloosa was one of the hardest hit areas in Alabama in their earlier reporting.

Tuscaloosa is directly in the “tornado ally” path. We get hit pretty hard some years.

We did not have any problems, but we were a little afraid and stayed in our safe room for about an hour until the tornado watches were over for our area.
My wife mentioned AGAIN that we ought to move back to Kentucky because tornadoes are not a problem up there.

Flooding is the menace in Eastern Kentucky.......everywhere has something it seems.

I live in Enterprise Alabama. I tell you from about midnight until 3 am it was really rough. I was out in it. The wind blew some big limbs out of my oak tree. It was real windy all day, but only bad for those 3 hours that I mentioned.

You apparently weren't here in April of 1973.
Of the 7 houses on our cul-de-sac we were the only one that had a basement. Every one came to our house to ride out the storm.
Several twisters touched down in many surrounding counties causing tremendous damage. But other than high winds and lots of tree limbs down, nothing severe occurred in "God's Country", Fayette County.
So, Clyde, tornadoes do occur in Kentucky.

They most certainly do. In March, our oldest granddaughter and her family rode one out in Alvaton, near Bowling Green. Took part of their roof and the patio cover off their new house. The absence of a roof caused major damage. Wet sheet rock fell off the ceiling and then down came the water soaked insulation. They lived with her inlaws for about a week, and now the insurance co. is paying for an apartment for them in Bowling Green.
Edit: Now their 10 year old daughter starts screaming and crying when a thunder storm comes up. I hope she gets over that soon.

I know that tornadoes occur in Kentucky, but not as often as here. However, flooding is much worse in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky.
My wife and I were renting a house in San Pedro, California, and it was near the ocean. There was a steep incline between the house and ocean, but we did have a good view of the ocean from the back porch.
Two of my wife's cousins came to visit us from the Inez, Kentucky area. Both of them had experienced the flooding problems in Inez. One of them (about fifteen years old)asked a serious question while we were sitting on the back porch viewing the ocean scenery. He asked, "Does that thing ever get up?"

M.M.,
The thing he was talking about is a lot bigger than what you are thinking about.

No helicopters were flying, but there is always maintenance to do.
