Henryville, IN

Driving home from Dover, TN today (3/2/12) was quite an experience. We had tornadoes to the north of us as we traveled east across Kentucky. Then when we headed north on I-65 a tornado crossed behind us near Shepherdsville, KY. Then another one crossed I-65 ahead of us in Henryville, IN. We waited in slow traffic on I-65 for about 45 minutes before we reached Henryville. Here is what we saw.

 Not sure what this was. But note the bent & broken lights.

My heart goes out to the people of Henryville. We only saw a small part of the devastation.  I pray for the safety of all the emergency workers, many of which we saw speeding south to help. We were very blessed to have just missed being in the tornado. Please pray for all those affected in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee & Ohio by these deadly storms.
