A Time to Come Together...

After a historic day of what could become Kentucky's deadliest tornado outbreak, at least for March, we all need to take time and reflect on what has just happened.

Personally, my area has been spared by the recent rash of tornadic storms. This does not mean that I am oblivious to what has just happened to my fellow Kentuckians and friends in Indiana.

I have loved ones who live in Borden IN and Mt Washington KY. They experienced a measure of damage either from high winds or large hail. However, trying to reach these ones was frustrating as they simply could not be reached for a time. Lots of stress and worry.

Watching the news videos, the looks on people's faces...you just can't forget that, it told everything that needed to be said. So many people dazed, confused, shocked, saddened...I think we all felt it, didn't we?

Even the news people and weather teams trying to keep us updated, informed, and safe, at times even they had to step aside, visibly, for a moment to make sure their loved ones were safe.

Don't forget about the people on the scene, the news crews, emergency communicators, law enforcement, fire officials, emergency medical teams, who witnessed the dire results of the savagery and destructive power of nature's fury.

This will be a topic of conversation for days to come. Hopefully, we can all come together and express our heartfelt and heartbroken concerns for those who have suffered loss and others that were indirectly affected.

I'm sure we'll get through this...Kentuckians are known for "United we stand..."

My personal thoughts and prayers for those that were affected as I'm saddened on this day for my passion for weather.
