Jason Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Fake news. This is just a big gubbmint conspiracy to steal our freedumbs. Why should I have a tornado shelter when I've never died from a tornado before? Stay home if you're so scared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I had to shelter around 330 am as they rolled through Nashville. We had wind gusts up to 80 mph near my home. But my mom off to the west lives near Mayfield KY and dealt with her own tornado around 1130 last night. She texted me and said she could hear it going by. She didn't have any damage though, so that's good. This one is the quintessential hook echo on the radar. I've circled where my mom's house is: But Mayfield KY got blown off the map. It's only an hour away from my hometown. This is what they had to deal with: 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairslinger Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I went to bed around 11 hearing some thunder and rain thinking "ah, how bad can it be in the middle of December?". Woke up having to get in touch with my sister and her family to make sure they weren't hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Have friends in Bowling Green. They were extremely lucky and had no damage, but more or less all of their friends in the area either had damage or just total loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 6 minutes ago, mclumber1 said: How common are basements and cellars in this part of the country? It depends. Where I grew up, west Tennessee/Kentucky, they aren't very common unless your house was built on a slope and you have a half-underground lower floor. It's not like in Texas where there aren't any basements. But they aren't common. In the neighborhood I live in now in Nashville, there are more because it was an older development in a hilly area. Newer developments are just homes built on concrete slabs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is accurate, it would be the longest tornado track in recorded history, beating out the 1925 tri-state tornado by about 80 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wasn’t there one from the 2010 outbreak that took a pretty similar path as this recent big storm. I remember one of those storms had a pretty long ground game. I also remember heading down to Austin at the time of the breakout of tornados. They had to divert the flight a bit because of the line of storms we were potentially heading into. I also remember looking out my plane window once seeing us surrounded by towering black/grey clouds. Had to see Houston before boarding a 2nd plane for Austin. Remember heading out for dinner the night I got there and seeing one towering massive cloud stack near us. Wasn’t until we left that I saw on our complimentary paper the cloud stack I saw with the caption “Tornado Warnings pictures from last week in Austin” I’m also just happy to see (so far) everyone is reporting back here safe and sound.

My personal experience in the OH/IN/KY tri-state area is about half and half....maybe? I have one, some of my neighbors do, some don't. My sister in northern Kentucky does. I lived through a strong F4 when I was 8 or 9 and it left a pretty lasting impression on me. Unless I was absolutely forced to I would not even consider living in a house without a basement.

Ricofoley Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Not sure I've seen footage that looks quite like this from a tornado. It looks like Hurricane Andrew or something like that. Usually you can kinda tell the line it was moving in, but this is awful in all directions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Also, the candle factory that collapsed had over 100 people in it at the time, most are unaccounted for. No way the death toll stays near where it is now (around 70). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 @CitizenVectron yeah I keep seeing the death toll only around 70 and it just seems way too low for that amount of destruction across that area. I know it will change sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
