Kentucky Governor Says at Least 70 Killed by Tornadoes

We’ve got to stop these cow farts.

Or, you know… do something about the wealth gap that means that such huge numbers of people are forced to live in mobile homes.

In Kentucky alone, a series of powerful tornados claimed more than 70 lives, according to the governor. Numerous deaths have also been reported elsewhere in the Midwest.

Governor Andy Beshear told local media on Saturday that the death toll may be up to 100, after a powerful twister leveled a candle factory in the town of Mayfield, with dozens of workers inside at the time disaster struck.

Beshear described Friday night as “one of the toughest nights in Kentucky history,” adding that “some areas have been hit in ways that are hard to put into words.” Local authorities believe this weekend’s storms could end up being more devastating than the 1974 tornado outbreak that killed 71 people.

Beshear declared a state of emergency overnight, calling in the National Guard to help deal with the aftermath, and also urged the federal government to declare a state of emergency. In Graves County, the hardest-hit area in the state, the tornado battered the local courthouse and nearby prison. The authorities have sent “two tractor-trailers filled with water” to secure the area’s drinking water supply.

The massive destruction in Kentucky was caused by several of the 24 tornadoes that were reported across five states – Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee. The storms are expected to continue over the weekend, moving eastward, likely affecting major cities like Nashville, Memphis, and Shreveport.

Don’t let them tell you this is some new cow fart related phenomenon.

It’s not.

This has always happened, and if the destruction is worse now it is literally because of cheaper buildings, including, again, the trailers that much of the South lives in.

An Amazon warehouse is just a shitty barn made out of cheap aluminum and bits of Chinese plastic.

Like, no one would have died in this church.

But yeah, not gonna lie.

This is some pretty serious shit.

Funnest part is going to be Brandon’s response.
