From what I'm seeing on the news, just across the river in Indiana got it worse than we did in Louisville (though I haven't been out yet, and the worst in Kentucky was a bit south of my apartment). Jefferson County in Indiana has 4 confirmed deaths, Henryville Indiana appears to be destroyed, with 1 confirmed death.
I live in Sellersburg,IN just south of Henryville but grew up in the Palmyra/Pekin area. I spent today assisting the Palmyra Fire Dept with cleanup efforts in Pekin. Words just cannot describe the devastation caused by this storm. I consider myself a tough guy, having raced all types of vehicles over the last 18 years including non-wing sprint cars, but seeing the effects in person just makes me want to cry! Simply heartbreaking....
a man and his best friend.jpg This picture says it all. A man that just lost his home and everything else but found the one thing that meant the most to him..
Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved.NWS is reporting that two tornadoes hit Henryville.The Red Cross and several TV stations are accepting donations to help.
A little one one was found yesterday, alive, but sent to the L-Ville Hospital.She lost her entire family in the tornadoes.
Just saw a report about that precious little baby Dan, they said she is in critical condition. My thoughts and prayers are with her, her name is Angel and all those effected by these deadly storms.

Without actually announcing anyone, just asking a few people, there is three of us going to try to get down to Henryville, with two other maybes. We have a 15 passenger van already, I hope we fill it up. Hoping to go on a Saturday. We will be volunteering with Samaritans Purse.
