[SEL] Southern Indiana Storm

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Glenn,  
    You mention Munfordville, KY.  Its only about 10  miles south of 
me.  The town got hit pretty hard but to my knowledge, there were no 
serious injuries.  We've had our share of tornadoes around here.  One in 
November is especially unusual.

From there it crossed an area of the Ohio river bottoms where I have a farm.  The farm is bare land so there was no damage there.  Just a mile east of my farm is where the mobile home court is.

Further east yet, it flattened the community of Degonia Springs where a family of four was
