Mayfield Ky
Is our county seat and the courthouse took a direct hit. The Newsome family are safe they ran away from the path of the tornado. Jerry’s wife called me last night at midnight to check on Patsy and I. I’m at the PRI show and OK, but Patsy has not called, I call her to check on her. She’s OK, our place is ok, now I’m disappointed that she didn’t call and let me know she’s safe. My question is why she didn’t call, answer was “I knew you would be asleep and didn’t want to wake you”. What could I say but, I love you and stay safe.

Re: Mayfield Ky
So glad Patsy and Chris’s family are all okay. Have you heard anything about the Bennett’s? My family in Mayfield is safe but have damage. Many of their friends have lost everything and are in the hospital with injuries. The footage coming out of Mayfield is simply mind numbing. Prayers for all impacted.

Re: Mayfield Ky
Prayers that everyone is safe and injuries are minor. You can always go back and fix property damage, but lives are most important in this type of situation. To those that have or will lose everything, so sorry. This is when communities come together and show what people are made of.
Added - - I just watched a short drone video on You Tube from Mayfield - - - Oh my God, much of the town is basically destroyed.

Re: Mayfield Ky
Larry, I was thinking about you and fellow Kentucky racers like Greg Hill and Donnie Beeler. I’m also hoping Tennessee racer Bryan Rogers faired out well with these deadly Tornadoes. Keep us updated please.

Re: Mayfield Ky
We missed pretty much all of it here at our house in southern Illinois. Didn’t even get much rain. But you don’t have to travel far to see damage. We’ve been through 3. 02,06,2011 being the worst of them. It looks bad down there from what we saw on the news. Amazon warehouse situation over by St. Louis is heartbreaking too. In 11 we were almost wiped out. So I know where people effected are at this morning. Hang in there stay strong.

Re: Mayfield Ky
I just exchanged text messages with Jerry Bennett. He and his family are safe. His little town of Mayfield, in his words, is "devastated"...

Re: Mayfield Ky
Larry, Mr. Turner called first thing this morning and said you better check on Larry Hill. Kentucky had a tornado and it was close to him.
Thank you for the update. |

Re: Mayfield Ky
Thanks Tim for the update on the Bennett’s. My sister is only 7 miles from Mayfield and while they were spared friends close by lost everything. Nothing remotely as bad has hit the area in my lifetime. Thankfully there are a lot of really good hard working people in the area live by the old “brother’s keeper” philosophy.
