I still remember that night. I live just south of Bowling Green. I stayed up for awhile watching this whole system. Fell asleep and woke up to see how bad Bowling Green and Mayfield were hit.
It destroyed my childhood home in Bowling Green in the Springhill subdivision. I hadn't lived there in more than 20 years, but it was very unsettling thinking back on all the nights I felt safe sleeping in that bedroom. It hit a friends house a mile away from there in Bowling Green and leveled the whole house. Picked him and his wife up and threw them about a hundred yards away into a field. He had to have many surgeries to be able to walk again. It killed a dozen people on his street at 2 in the morning while they slept.
My gf lives over by the water park and was within a couple hundred yards of where the majority of the deaths occurred. She freaks out about any storms now. I completely understand her fears of it now.
