Please pray for our town here in Mayfield, KY! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. However, our community is pulling together to start the cleanup. It will, however, take years for our town to fully recover. It’s absolutely surreal.

I'm in Tennessee and she gave the best southern expression in explaining what was going on with rescue efforts in the community. When it comes to politics now we "sqabble" but when it comes to helping our neighbors in these weather emergencys everything falls away and you're there for one another. Good on you Mayor.

Had to wake my wife and kids up around 4am because the wind was shaking my house like it was a straw. We were in the closet and couldn't do nothing but pray that the wind don't knock our house down. The wind was like a train that running 75 to 80 miles. Tornado is not something you wanna joke about and thinking everything is going to be fine.

Why would the candle factory still be working after getting the warning of the tornadoes coming? So very sad.
