Deadly tornado rakes Indiana, Kentucky
At least 21 people killed, 200 hurt; girl found alive; 100 homes destroyed


EVANSVILLE, Ind. - A tornado tore across western Kentucky and southwestern Indiana early Sunday, killing at least 21 people as it cut through a mobile home park and obliterated trailers and houses while residents slept.

The tornado, estimated to have winds of at least 158 mph, hit a horse track near Henderson, Ky., then jumped the Ohio River into Indiana around 2 a.m.

“It was just a real loud roar. It didn’t seem like it lasted over 45 seconds to a minute, then it was calm again,” said Steve Gaiser, who lives near the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park in Evansville.

I have a few friends down in that area that I cant get ahold of. I hope everyone there is ok.

There was no real warning for this. :(

I hope KYMOM and her family are safe.

I used to live in Evansville 7 years ago and drove around Henderson to visit my parents when they were in Owensboro, KY. I even had a flat in the parking lot of that track.

Good thoughts and prayers to all in the area hit by the tornada :meditate:

I have two friends in Evansville. Luckily one was out of town and the other was in an area that the worst of the tornado seemed to skip over. My best wishes go to all of those down there who weren't so lucky.

I was outside competing in the middle of a road race when the storm hit my area. Fortunately I'm in Ohio and the worst of it missed us, but even then it was a nasty one and it hit fast. Hopefully all the scapers living down there are all doing okay. Good thoughts to everyone there who was in the path of the tornado. :hug: :hug:
