Photos: The Aftermath of the Devastating Tornado Outbreak in Kentucky

[douglas9]

Late on December 11, multiple tornadoes touched down in a line that raged across several Midwest states, leaving a trail of widespread destruction and causing at least 80 deaths. Some of the heaviest damage took place in a number of small communities in Kentucky, especially the town of Mayfield, where a factory and most of the downtown area were flattened. Collected below are images from Mayfield and the surrounding region, where survivors are searching for the missing, assessing the damage, and starting a long recovery effort.

1. Those photos are shattering

Now, President Biden will say the right the words, send in the needed help, and everybody will pitch into
restore the communities, homes, churches, infrastructure, and businesses and life will get back to normal
which means "the locals" will deny that having warm air in December (climate change) had anything to do
with the storms, asking people to mask up and vax up @ shelters is wrong, and that in the end they will vote
against the very people (Joe Biden and Gov. Beshear) who helped them.
