Tornado Victims Tour

Cal is actually going around asking fans for THEIR autographs.

I’ve been hard on him lately. So it’s only fair I hand it to him when he comes up with something actually cutting edge and cool again.

His coaching can 100% be criticized but he is a good man and a good ambassador for the program.

Tornados are "interesting" destroyers. Or maybe the word should be "strange" or "curious". My wife's family farm was hit by one. It destroyed 2 barns and uprooted a tree or two. The damage in her county wasn't widespread so the storm damage was a curiosity rather than a tragedy.

When I was a kid, a tornado went down the opposite side of the street from our house. Several houses were destroyed while, 100 ft away, our garbage cans were tossed around.

Fate is so fickle.

Article says they’re going into a program that he will carry rolled up at every game. Continuing what he did last season.

Cal is starting to get it again. I don’t think this truly, but maybe he’s faking it for wrong reasons. Or maybe he’s trying ti buy his way back in. Or maybe somebody lit a fire under him. I truly hope the latter and his love of being here is back.

I don’t care which as long as he is positive to the fan base and wins. But for Cal’s sake I hope he’s back to his old self. Because pre-2015 Cal is who’s I want here forever. That’s what the coach of UK SHOULD be. He should have the tenacity and kick *** nature of Rick. But off the court he should have the class and honor of Tubby. Cal at first was nearly a perfect blend of the two.

Regardless of everything else though I truly believe he cared for and about Coach Hall. And I know he misses him. We all do.

Yeah, I was living in Shepherdsville, Ky during the fateful April 3, 1974 outbreak. I was 7 1/2 yrs old and can remember my Dad making us all go down to the basement with his transistor radio. We were safe that day but so many across Ky and other states absolutely were not. Here is a map of the tornadoes that ravaged the south and midwest that awful day. As you can see with 3 or 4 paths in north western Ky we got lucky in Bullitt Co.:

That damage is crazy bad. I haven’t been back since the storm but a few guys at work where affected.

Couldn’t agree more.

I’m originally from Dawson Springs. I grew up and went to school there. Much of my family still live there. My mom and sister and brother-in-law lived across the street from each other. Both of their homes were completely destroyed. I mean just flattened. They lost everything. Luckily none of them were home. They were at other relatives houses that had basements. They’re doing OK since insurance covered their losses, but the mental part is still there. There has been an outpouring of help for that little town. Half of it was just wiped off the face of the earth. It looks like a nuclear explosion took place. I doubt it’ll ever be the same with many moving instead of rebuilding. My mom and sister have both bought houses that became available. They’re among the lucky ones as there’s very little available right now.

I am in Mayfield on vacation. Pictures or videos doesn't do justice how bad Mayfield was destroyed. It looks like a bomb exploded in the middle of town. Prayers. What have been told a few places will be rebuilt others will be torn down and not rebuilt. My family was blessed with not much damage. Mayfield has some strong people. God bless.

I live in mayfield. My dad owns a restaurant and I own a haunted house. We were blessed my son had some roof damage but my mom Dad and I had no personal property damage my dad's restaurant got a new roof but we never closed down. That being said I lost 2 friends one in the candle factory the other in McClean County in a house trailer. I appreciate anything anyone does for my community. I got my issues with Cal but showing us support down here isn't one of them

It’s crazy the damage line is so defined. The damage is just unreal.

I remember the 1974 Tornado that took a few lives in East Louisville and every tree in Cherokee Park, and I mean every. Everyone's power was down except mine at my liquor/beer depot. I was on 440 volts and somehow that survived. All grocery stores were closed in East Louisville, as were gas stations, but there I was in the middle of all that fully running. I took in anyone's freezer/frig food and stored it for them until they got power again. From that day until I lost the lease, my business really prospered. From Brownsboro Lane over to the river the homes took a large hit with many destroyed or badly damaged. I remember that a person's paid checks from their bank account were found as far Cincinnati. What a day!!

Probably one 220 phase was still on. We lost a phase before and everything on 110/220 was still running but the transformer stuff wasn’t.

I live n Huntsville, AL. When I left work at 4:30 pm there was one on a F5 on the ground near Huntsville. When I got home there was another F5 on a track near the first F5. There were tornados on the ground somewhere in the television area until 2 AM when one went up the mountain East of Huntsville and knocked the TV station. We gave up exhausted and went to sleep on the floor of the den. Nobody who lived through that night will never forget it.

I lived in Pioneer Village in Bullitt County in 1996 and it was hit by an F4 tornado and we had no warning. It was so powerful it pulled the asphalt up on my street. Probably the only time I have ever been really scared in my life. It's a terrifying thing to go through.

Our church in leitchfield ky reached out to a couple of family's in dawson springs. Wish i could remember their names that we took a check to.

Cal is killing his detractors by focusing on what’s important in life instead of worrying at night about what “Bubba with his hand down his pants” thinks.

There were some bad outbreaks in the 90s. I remember one night mom, dad and I had to hit the bathroom at least 5 times that night due to the constant tornado warnings.
