Glad everyone is ok. I'm also on the TN/KY line

There is a group called Operation BBQ Relief being deployed to Mayfield. They will be cooking and serving 1000’s of meals. You may want to look them up. It’s a great organization that started out cooking for returning troops.
100 % of All donations go directly to relief without any money being used for overhead.

Thanks Johnny. I know about them and will look it up. Any chance you want to meet up with us in the morning in Mayfield? I know y'all have plenty of damage in your area as well so I understand if not. Or do y'all need help around Madisonville?

Pops was a big supporter and advocate of operation bbq relief. They did great things for the Nashville tornado in 2020

Yup--Me Too, uphill both ways!!!

You may laugh, but it's true. My high school was located in the bottom of a small valley/ravine . and we did have an uphill walk going to and from school.

Anyway we escaped the freezing rain. Strong wind gusts, light rain, and temps in the high 40s to low 50s. Stay safe you guys.
