6 states were hit with 50+ tornados.
If you haven't heard a big storm swept through the Southern and Midwestern United States overnight on the 10th & 11th. My city was hit hard with winds. There are so many down trees and powerlines all over. I just got power back this morning around 7:45. I was asleep during the storm but when I woke up on the 11th we didn't have power and had to spend more of the day in the dark. The was no damage to our house, not even a limb from our mostly dead trees.
It was crazy the one time I had to leave my little peninsula. It turns out my peninsula got hit the worst. I had to weave around to find a way out to the main street. A task that normally takes 8 minutes took 20+. There are a lot of uprooted trees. The roots reach higher than my Nissan Rogue. We didn't get it the worst of the storm though!
Mayfield, KY was basically leveled. The President has declared a state of emergency across the state of Kentucky.
Looking at the footage from KY and driving around at all the trees being cut down really makes me realize how lucky we got. We had to go about 30+ hours without electricity but most everyone around here still has their homes. There are a few houses that were hit by a tree but overall the damage to the powerlines was worse than to any houses. I have heard of one family that lost their home around here.
