Heartbreaking Indiana Tornadoes


Tornadoes in Indiana on Friday sparked memories of 1974, when I was a teenager, huddled in a closet in my parents' home, praying for the tornado to pass over. We had the benefit of geography, as the tornadoes came from the north, bounced up over some hills called Floyds Knobs, and landed in Kentucky.
2012 has brought a new wave of tornadoes. Here are some of the news reports.

Marysville, Indiana everything destroyed or damaged: http://www.wlky.com/video/30599286/detail.html

The area of tornadoes would have completely covered Germany. See how big Germany is compared to the US below.
