Pray for Kentucky, where perhaps the worst US tornado ever

A time to help, not a time to blame. It wastes energy that can be spent on the former. Assessment comes with time and information. Healing comes with work and attention.
Worth remembering the Roanoke Illinois F4 tornado in 2004 where some employees at the Parsons plant were intentionally trained as tornado spotters and 1 sounded an alarm that saved the lives of everyone in the plant.
The company owner had decided to build storm shelter protection into the design of the plant.

The interviewed candle factory survivors have said the warnings came through and their supervisors told them to keep working 😳😳😳🤬
I was literally right above them in Radcliff/Ft Knox. The tornado lifted right before Muldraugh somewhere. The sirens were crazy that night.
We actually hunt 12 miles from Bremen near Graham and stay in Central City. I'm going to check it out Thursday.
They were finding all kind of stuff on Fort Knox Saturday and Sunday that had to of came from the tornado. Postcards from Illinois postmarked 1960, baseball cards, a business card from the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, etc. Crazy stuff.

Our weather is extremely stable compared to most states. It cracks me up when I see people talking about how our weather changes. I've seen it drop 40 degrees in 2 hrs in Oklahoma and go from 75 to 20 and snow in South Dakota. We really have it made here.
Who here works in a facility that has a shelter that is designed for and suitably built to withstand any naural disaster and large enough to accommodate all employees and customers that may be in that facility at any given time?
Just wondering because some seem to want to put blame on the employer without looking around at their own situation
Should Williams Brice have a shelter suitable for 80k just in case?
While this is a terrible event, sometimes things are no one's fault. .like the weather.

The only thing I want to say is, Thank You to all the people helping out.
I suggest you look at the news and the potential criminal charges coming against the managers of some of these factories. Standard weather, sure, it happens. But man this was no standard weather front. Hell every duck hunter in the middle of the united states even knew what was coming a couple days before the front. It was discussed by thousands of people before the storms actually hit. So yes, someone is to blame for letting a shift full of employees be sitting ducks in those buildings. Look at the case mentioned above from several years ago, that building was built with safety areas and it saved a lot of lives.
Not saying that some aren't. How many are and for those saying that there should be shelters in every building, does your workplace or residence have such a shelter?
Its literally all that was on the news Thursday and Friday. That said though no one forced anyone to go to work. We all have choices everyday. My devil's advocate moment.
UK's DC Brad White reportedly turned down 2 Million plus per year to go DC for Brian Kelly and LSU. Is also donating his bonus from VRBO Citrus Bowl to Ky. disaster relief. Solid human being right there!!!!
I doubt you lived in Kentucky very long as it clear to me, you don’t know what your talking about. Read and inform yourself.
At least 22 reported tornadoes ripped across six states overnight, devastating communities and killing dozens of people, including possibly over 70 in Kentucky, during what is typically a quieter time in the United States for the storms.
Tornadoes can happen any time of year, though the greatest threat is typically in spring and summer, according to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, with the peak season on the earlier side for more southern states.
That's what makes the latest activity so rare, experts say.
"Something like this is an unusual event for the month of December. It's typically our quietest month for tornadoes, especially in Kentucky," ABC News meteorologist Rob Marciano told "Good Morning America" on Saturday.
I know it is hard and rough to be in a situation like a tornado, unguilty people dies, and other things, in any situation like that we need help from others which could be a company or anything else, At the time when I got in a situation like a tornado I contacted this company https://www.ssrestore.com/water-damage-restoration-carlsbad/ and they helped me to solve my yard damage it is not climate change unless you mean cooling. Tornado events like this are cooling events, major cooling events like decades-long cooling.
Deadliest single tornado in US history
The Tri-State Tornado of March 18, 1925 killed 695 people in Missouri (11), Illinois (613), and Indiana (71).
