Miscellaneous
Mayfield, Kentucky was recently hit by a historic E5 tornado that left in its wake a path of devastation and destruction in western parts of the state. It was one of five that touched down during the storms last weekend. At least 92 people have been confirmed dead across multiple states after more than 40 tornadoes pummeled a wide area on Dec. 10 and 11. My heart goes out to all of the families and the communities across Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee that have been affected by this, and especially so close to Christmas… it’s just heartbreaking. I am extremely blessed to have not been personally affected by this, but if the wind had blown a different way, who knows what could have happened to a group of unaware hunters that included my brother, two of my cousins, and another one of our friends. They were at our farm just 20 miles from Mayfield and well within an area that could have very easily been just as impacted as anywhere else had the tornado veered a different route. Matty T (@datdudemattyt) joined me in the studio to describe what it was like tracking the tornado watch, the moment at which he realized they might be in some serious danger, the sounds, the funnel cloud that passed over their heads, and what it was like being so close to the most destructive tornado event in Kentucky’s history. Many good people have lost everything overnight, are seriously hurting and many may never bounce back from this.
