Muhlenberg Co. KY Tornado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brock · 02-09-2008, 01:50 PM

I'm sure most of you guys have heard about the tornados that came through the south Tuesday night. Well I teach in Muhlenberg County Kentucky where Greenville/Powderly is. They experienced an F-3 that night. We haven't been able to get back to school yet. Everyday I drive to school and drool over a 70 chevy SWB fleetside thats for sale in a guys yard. Like I said I haven't been by that way lately but the location was right in line with where the twister came through. I don't know if its still there or not...actually its pretty insignificant in the realm of things...I think they said ~82 homes were damaged and 10-15 were completely destroyed, thats a pretty big deal considering Greenville and Powderly have about 2000 people total. A local paper put together a slide show I thought youguys might want to see.

Keep them in your prayers

A lot of damage. It hits home a little more when you see pictures of people with things in their hands that you have in your home and shop and think "that could be me in that picture". A lot of irreplaceable things lost in a storm like that....

The US is blessed with some of the most varied landscape, etc. around as well as cursed by a large variety of periodic natural disasters.

Tornados, hurricanes, California burns up every year, has earthquake, El Nino, floods on the various rivers such as the Mississippi, etc.

Keeps us on our toes...

My sympathies to the folks who got caught in the latest disaster!

We went up to Macon County/Lafayette, TN the day after the Tornadoes to help some folks. Here's a few pics I snapped with my cell phone.

Looks a whole lot worse than the pictures show. Quite a few people died in this area.
