Finally got the Spring crops sown yesterday, about 6 weeks late because we've been alternating between heavy rain and 85+ degree days. Every time the paddocks were tilled it would rain and they'd get too wet for planting, then get overrun with weeds when the sun came out while they were drying. Very frustrating.
Perfect day yesterday so in went the seeds and fertilizer.
Today it's pouring and way down to 60 degrees, and rain is forecast for most of the next week. Sigh.
We still have power but there are 69,000 affect home in Northern Ohio. What a lousy night to be without power.
Just seen a factory that was levelled in KY with over 100 people in it at the time, same thing with an Amazon wharehouse in Illinois ? Scary images, and I hope the loss of life is low, but surely many have perished.
Holy cow, yeah I just saw the news, at least 70 dead, hope everyone's safe. I'll take flooded paddocks and miserable crops over tornadoes any day. Take care folks.
They think the count will likely be upwards of 100. And I think 12 in other areas like the Illinois Amazon facility and other communities in the path of the storm. Horrible to hear this and not to mention the time of year it had to occur. I posted a separate thread in Off Topic and threw a link where you can donate directly to the victims if interested. Will share it here as well. I think we all should try to help out in these cases wherever we can. I have frantically loaded trailers while relatives homes were flooding around us to watch their houses flood to rooflines and have known enough that have lost it all from tornadoes or fires. There is no way to imagine how it must feel to not only see everything you have gone, but in this case lose loved ones as well. And many forget, a lot of people out there simply do not have enough insurance (or any at all) to replace anything they have lost in these cases.

This must have been a very powerful tornado, the two buildings seemed pretty robust steel buildings, but they were completely flattened, it must have been absolutely terrifying for those in the buildings during evening hours. Good of you to think about donations for such families, it may very well turn out to be much worse than we realize once all of the info comes out tomorrow in daylight hours.
I'm guessing it would be pretty terrifying to be in a tall warehouse filled with tall racks when a big twister hits.
I don't think any amount of "quick thinking " will work in that scenario.
We only had a bit of rain, fortunately. Not even predicted t-storms. Read a story today that an old pic from 1942 flew 130 miles and landed intact on a woman’s car windshield. Names were on the back so she was able to find the owner.
