I was just reading a short blurb somewhere that they recorded wind speed of just over 300 MPH - highest ever recorded. So F-5+.

My brother in law's sister lives about a 3 minute walk from the edge of the devastation in Mayfield. She and her family are fine, and their house has no damage. She described it to him as the loudest sound she could possibly imagine.

Weather sure is getting WILD. I used to travel for work every other month to Georgia and Alabama a few years ago. EVERY time I flew into Atlanta and then drove over to the Birmingham Alabama area there were MORE tornados that had ripped through there. And driving back to Atlanta, any time it rained it rained HARD and there would be inches of water on the roads. I know its not Kentucky, just saying they weather is more extreme all over the country. Rained like hell here in SE Michigan last night. I just moved to an island. Past few years there's been historic water levels in the lakes around Michigan. Hope the island stays above water This is a picture of looking out the front door towards the garage this AM. Never saw this much standing water.

We were a bit north of the path between Mayfield and Kentucky Lake, and lucked out. I've only seen pictures and video, as officials started limiting traffic in affected areas this morning, especially Mayfield. One of my coworkers lives in viewing distance of KYLake. His house and his neighborhood were flattened, he told me by text. I've seen up close the damage from a F1-F2 funnel, several years ago in Southern IL. Just in photos and video, this is MUCH worse. The power in these things is hard to believe. It's not just the wind speed they generate, there is so much shear, from changing angles, plus lift near the base, and so much more. It's difficult to design something to withstand one, if it's not buried.

Anyone talk to Holley or ATM. They are both in Bowling Green. Drove thru BG late yesterday afternoon on the interstate, no obvious impact.

Actually I looked right at the Museum intentionally, but from ground level, and noticed nothing askew while driving at 70 mph. I do admit as being a Florida resident for over 60 years, usually traces of recent hurricane damage often begins to be apparent maybe 25? miles from the center of a storm, whereas with a tornado it can be measured in mere yards, which really means, my original observation here is in general, I admit, was rather meaningless.

Not unlike all your other posts. And with similar grammar.

Which mind would be smaller? The one making the mistakes? Or the one noting them?
