Scary Night in Celestine

Last night Brady and I experienced something we thought we would never experience, and one we hope to never experience ever again.  

About 3:20 am, we were awakened by a very loud storm.  The lightning was incredibly bright, and the thunder shook the house.  We do not have a basement, so we stayed in our bed.  The storm got very loud and then, almost as soon as it started, it was done.  I brought my cell phone into the bedroom and set it on the nightstand.  At about 5:30 am, my cousin, Renae, called.  She was frantically asking if we were okay.  I said, "Yeah....why?"  We then found out that what would later be determined to be a F2 tornado came through our neighborhood, just on the opposite side of us.  

We then realized how lucky we were to escape with hardly any damage.  I'll post a few photos of our neighborhood.  

We had two satellite trucks from Louisville come and do live feeds.

This was the worst hit house in our neighborhood.  

The sign to our neighborhood now stands in solidarity in front of the house in the previous picture.

This RV came into their garage.

This is looking towards the Community Center.

This is in our neighborhood.  

Overall, Celestine is very lucky to have no major injuries.  It was a rough night, but the community has come together and everyone is helping each other.  

Here's one of the news stories that were posted after the cleanup had began.
