Hunt or be Hunted Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Harrisburg Illinois. Early this morning storms came rolling through MO, KY, IL and left a bad aftermath, A town about a hour from me got slammed by a bad twister early this morning about 5:30. So far 4 dead. Many wounded. Pictures are right here Illinois storm images and damage Feb. 29, 2012 | WPSD Local 6 - News, Sports, Weather - Paducah KY | Local I have some friends up there that I have yet to hear from that I hope are OK. If you guys get a chance, Send up a prayer or 2 to the town and the families. They are talking about sending the ESDA group that I'm in up there if they need more man power to help look for people.. I have been up since 9 yesterday morning, And haven't been to bed yet, My town dodged the bullet this time. They are talking about the same thing Friday..

wtnhunt Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Glad to see you check in Jeremy, just posted a thread about the bad weather this morning, I may delete it since you posted. We are under a watch here, was checking first thing on the weather channel when I saw mention of your town. Dunno if it was confirmed or not, but twc was reporting a tornado spotted around Metropolis and then a little later they also mentioned Paducah. Prayers on the way.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am sorry, Media told me wrong, Dead count is 6. They said the tornado was a EF4. We had an EF2 cut through part of my county. But no one was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
