It's rough in spots on here. A lot of you may have heard of Mayfield, they got got pretty hard. 50 or so missing or dead. Lots of businesses and public services lost. Benton is along the line. The hardest hit area was a place called The Moores. Basically a marina and vacation houses. My brother is on the sheriff's department. Not nearly as bad there (which is where I live), but there 30-40 missing or dead here according to him.

We just got power on tonight about 8 pm. I'm very fortunate, only a little damage to the house (mostly just debris from other places). Just had to get by on kerosene heat and bottled water for a while.

I wanted to bump this because we often only think of these folks immediately after the event. I hope those in the Mayfield/ Bowling Green area are having the opportunity to enjoy the holidays in some small way. 

Not to get political, but the Governor of KY has political ideologically  totally opposite of me, but the dude has my respect for what he's done; of course it's hits a little closer to him due to the location.

Finally, and just spit balling here, is there something we as a message board community can do. Perhaps a go fund me where we all chip in and get the kids in the Benton-Mayfield area some Bengals jerseys..
