That was downright BRUTAL.

They're saying one tornado in particular traveled over 200 miles. That is unbelievable. Mayfield, Kentucky was totally destroyed and that candle factory looks like it was leveled by a giant bulldozer. The outbreak affected 6 states. An Amazon warehouse in Illinois was also destroyed and there's likely to be many casualties in there also.

That makes two of us in choosing between a tornado and a hurricane. And this is from someone who lived through both Hugo in '89, and Maria in 2017. Hurricanes are mean and nasty... but you see them coming and can prepare. These funnel-shaped bitches come down unexpectedly and many times at night.

God help all the people and families that were affected.
