working at the office…

I’ve been having a little bit of fun this morning…
After getting woke up, I came down to the office, and fought with Herb’s computer. His NIC went out. Once I got his computer fixed, I got to work on the EMA site. I uploaded a few pictures that were taken, and created a page dedicated to the storm that hit us the other morning.
As of right now, it looks like we were hit by two short lived tornadoes. (unofficial declaration)
Dad was out with the NWS earlier this morning, and is currently out at the PVA getting values of property so that he can send a better damage estimate to Frankfort. Later, he’ll be making rounds with Gayle to visit families again.
Other than that… not too much to report…

Ten Tornadoes Confirmed by the NWS

The National Weather Service has been out surveying damage caused by last night’s/this morning’s events. Teams from the NWS will be out again tomorrow to survey damage again. Still no word (that I know of) as to whether we saw tornadic activity here.

Ten Tornadoes Confirmed — Updated 820pm EST via kwout

I spent most of the day sleeping after having been awake throughout the night. Once things began to calm (weather wise) I went to the EMA office to assist. I left around 7:30 this morning. I would’ve returned after having napped a bit, however it proved impossible with Diana starting a new job this evening, and the kids being home. I hope to get back in touch with the office tomorrow to hear some more about what happened.
I did manage to take a few minutes to drive around town and see some of the damage. Words really can’t describe any of it. I hope to be able to get pics of everything tomorrow as well. I also plan to write a post later (i don’t know when, but hopefully before the weekend is out) which will have links to all the reports from the media and anything else I can find.

storm damage…

Well, if we didn’t have a tornado, we had some strong straight line winds….
We lost power around 1:32 this morning…
(by the way, I’m kinda tired, so the text of this entry will be rather random)
There is damage all over the county…
There was a tractor-trailer overturned in the Wal-Mart parking lot… several homes have been damaged (a lot on KY 32 West)… a local dairy farm has lost all the barns… trees are down everywhere… creeks are flooding… dispatch is without phone service… playground equipment has been destroyed at southside elementary… the post office is missing it’s windows… a piece of the high school’s roof may be missing… modular homes at the local dealership were damaged… the storage units at Southside Plaza are gone (but all the contents seem to still be there)… pumps at Speedway are damaged… and the list goes on…
…and it’s not even daylight…
…and we still have no power…
…and no one will be fully aware of the damage until daylight…
…and whenever the 911 phone system is operational again…
