Some folks are reporting a tornado touchdown in the Elcomb community of Harlan County. I was at work when this thing blew through, and I can attest to only what I saw. My boss, who NEVER wants me to leave the computer, was pulling me away when our windows started bowing inward from the straight lined winds. Those winds were estimated at 85 mph.

I don't believe that the tornado has been confirmed yet, but we have lots of damage throughout the county. At one point in time, all electricity was off in the entire county except for Walmart, Don's Super Saver, Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell. They are all in a line, and sort of isolated together across the river. Somebody was living right, I guess.

The rain was unbelievable. It flooded the streets in down town Harlan to the point where it ran a couple inches over the sidewalks. Sort of like a small river running down First Street!

The Evarts community was hit hard as well. There's lots of property damage there, and businesses that were heavily damaged. I haven't heard of any casualties, so there's a lot to be thankful for!

Anybody else have bad weather yesterday??

We had great weather yesterday. However it is very unstable right now where I live. We had a tornado drill in the school I work in today, a tornado was spotted near the school. It is so humid right now, you can cut the air with a knife. It is supposed to be worse tomorrow. Can't wait.
