And thanks for the link to Mike Smith’s blog, above. This outbreak was horrible. It was not the worst. Here is a list (h/t A.J. Kaufman, at PJ Media), from NOAA, listing the worst death tolls from tornado outbreaks in the US. You have to go down to #7, Joplin, MO, in 2011, to get a recent one.

Good news from Kentucky. The Epoch Times reports that at the candle factory, 90 of 110 employees have been located and are alive. They huddled in the central corridor, which was a tornado shelter, and after the storm passed, they left. With phones out and homes destroyed, it took a couple of days to find them.

AesopFan, so far as I can tell, Samaritan’s Purse has not gone “woke” and continues to provide help without regard to anything other than need.

@ Mike Smith – thanks for the links to your blog.

Here’s one from today with interesting information, especially for those of us who share Kate’s feelings in re President Brandon.

“The reason is that they take disaster donations and put them into their operating pot and may or may not spend the money on the disaster for which the money was donated. There have been a number of scandals with regard to this practice, including during Hurricane Sandy.
We prefer the Salvation Army’s Disaster Relief Service.”

Salvation Army had always been our preference as well, outside of contributions to our own church’s Humanitarian Services, but now that they’ve jumped on the Woke bandwagon, I’m deferring my general support.

However, I trust (at least, hope) they are not yet apportioning their funds by intersectional-identity and oppressor-ranking, so maybe they are okay for this emergency action.

I will move Samaritan’s Purse up on my list in their place (h/t jon baker).
We were very impressed with Samaritan’s Purse in 2020, especially given the way that Cuomo politicized his extremely disrespectful response to their very charitable actions during the beginning of the Covid crisis.
Had he used their portable hospital for the infected instead of moving them into nursing homes, many more senior citizens would have survived.

I am beyond disgusted with comments from Biden and the FEMA director to the effect that the intensity of these storms is caused by “climate change.” Could they not at least let the dead be identified before going political?

Thanks, jon baker. I should have thought of Samaritan’s Purse. They’re already on the road with assistance.

Apparently, in the early days of America, some settlers bought land from the Indians. The Indians said that they had not used the land, as there was a demon in the river.
Oh, how the settlers laughed at that ‘primitive superstitution’.
A meteorologist pointed out that the shape of the river’s banks allowed wind/rain to funnel down a pathway, periodically leading to very high velocity destructive winds.
SUCH a primitive superstitution!

This is a dark state weapon deployed by the deep state.

The Hurricane of 38, the Long Island Express, is likely the most energetic storm to hit the US in more than a century, judging by the massive wind damage so far inland. That’s speaking of raw energy, not complications of flooding due to earlier rains, or a storm camping out as Harvey did.
There was coastal development besides towns, but the dollar value was a fraction of what it is today. So, if it happened today, we’d there TEN TIMES the horror.
Imagine something scrubbing Martha’s Vineyard clean. Given the real estate prices….
Used to vacation with family on Cape Cod back maybe in the late Fifties. Was here in April. The little Cape Cod….a curiosity. Big stuff all around.
