One of my online friends who lives in Louisville told me about Elizabethtown and Brandenburg getting hit by the tornadoes. I'm so sorry for everyone! I used to live in Brandenburg and Vine Grove before moving to Texas. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the area, as well as those in Tennessee and Arkansas that also got hit.

Hey, census, if you want to check weather forecasts or radar for the western part of the state go to the NWS site in Paducah.
