KY Tornadoes

[Michael Auker]

6 confirmed tornadoes as of now. Pellyton keeps it's distinction as the tornado hotspot in KY; they have now been hit 4 times in the last 8 years: an F-3 on March 28, 1997, an F-3 on April 16, 1998, an F-2 on May 31, 1998, and now an F-1 on Jan 2, 2005. This Amish house, damaged yesterday, was also hit on April 16, 1998. I know this because I helped to rebuild it then. Pellyton is about 10 miles south of me.

This great photo of a wall cloud was taken just southwest of Pellyton. The second photo is of the Elizabethtown tornado. More photos can be viewed here. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/crnews/display_new...ews.php?wfo=lmk

Nice. I didn't realize there were any pics from this event.

BTW, I wonder what the odds are of the same house being hit twice by a tornado in less than 10 years? Wow. Your chances of winning the Powerball would likely be 10x better.
