I know we have had everything this year.

 

[Ave Maria]

I know we have had everything this year.

Do you live in this area Marmaladegirl? If so, you truly have my condolences (and prayers). I live in the region where this happened known as the Ohio River Valley. Thankfully, my specific location was not affected by last night's severe weather. All we had was a bit of lightning and thunder. I only wish it had been the same for these poor victims of the tornado.

 

[PorcelainHeart]

Oh no, I live in Hurricane alley, we have a hurricane every year. We had some of Hurricane Rita this year. I do feel sorry for those people though, they didn't have a warning like us. My uncle lives in Cleveland, Ohio.

Wow, I had no idea that much went down. I live just east of where those tornados were (Louisville, KY). I knew there was a tornado watch for the area, but not that anything actually happened.

Oh I see. I'd hate to have to deal with hurricanes. Hurricanes sometimes spawn tornados so you get a double whammy in a hurricane sometime right? Anyway, I haven't heard of any damage in Cleveland, only in Indiana. Have you heard of any damage in Cleveland?

 

[PorcelainHeart]

Hurricanes have every horrible thing you can think of exept a earthquake I been through a few of them. I don't know if their is any damage done in Cleveland, I will be praying for the midwest people.

Yeah. Thank you very much for your prayers. I don't really need the prayers but the victims do.

YAHOO IS SO BEHIND ON NEWS....

SO FAR THE DEATH TOLL @ 5:30 IS UP TO 22.

When I read the news on Yahoo, that's exactly what it was reporting... Anyway, here are some more local news sources if you all are interested:

http://www.abc25.com/Global/story.asp?S=4079168

http://www.14wfie.com/Global/category.asp?C=72669 - This one has by far the best coverage on their website.

Oh and also, here is the Evansville Courier and Press, the tri-state's major newspaper. It may have more information than the other sites.

 

[Ave Maria]

Hey everyone. Possible severe weather today and tonight again. Please pray... if you're a believer that is.

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I shall pray.

 

[Ave Maria]

I shall pray.

Thank you Marmaladegirl. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

 

[Ave Maria]

Oh no. It looks like a 5 and a 6 year old are among the dead.

this is sad, I never been or even seen a tornado, but It this still hurts me.

I'm praying. As someone that lives in Tornado Alley myself (Kansas) I know what they are going through. Tornados are NO JOKE, especially at night.

I wonder if this trailer park had a shelter? I ask because even now, when there is a tornado watch, I make sure that I am someplace where I can take shelter - whether its in a basement, large ditch (if I'm out at a park ) or something.

I hope now that people invest in a weather radio. When there are watches/warnings, it will give off this irrating, shrieking noise to alert you that something's up.

Unfortunately, there was no shelter for them. The safest place that there was in the area was a shallow ditch. Perhaps they will build a shelter for them after this incident...

I hope so.

Here, it is the law that you must provide a shelter for trailer parks (there must be one shelter for every certain number of trailers in the park). Even strong winds can lift a trailer off its foundation and cause damage.
