I spoke to three of my friends yesterday by phone and all three of them had either family or friends in Mayfield......None of my friends had anyone lose their life , but all three knew somebody that was injured and in the hospital.........My friend who I call my little sister is a black woman who is a first cousin of the black lady that I was in a 4 + year relationship with ....The ""ex "" who still calls me wanting me back ....Well , that's not gonna happen as my NL's are my life now....But my lil sis told me yesterday that she has two cousins that are injured and in the hospital .....One has a broken wrist , broken collarbone and numerous lacerations from flying debris......her other cousin is in an induced coma to lessen the effects of a swollen brain from being tossed around and hitting her head numerous times as the storm passed through.........The other two friends I spoke to had people who weren't as badly injured but all three of my friends I talked to said all of their friends and family are traumatized emotionally and they will be for a long time.....I haven't heard from media reports what level category the tornado was but it seems by looking at the aerial footage that it had to be an F-4 or 5.............. As far as me personally I had to stop searching out reports online as every report made me break down into tears.....The mass destruction on every page finally consumes and overwhelms you to the point of such sorrow and sympathy starts to numb you to the facts........I can only imagine what the people in Mayfield who survived feel like and hope they can feel the inner strength to go on with their lives....................My psoriatic arthritis calmed down after the storms passed through .....................Weird , but I have found out that pains are directly affected before , during and after major weather changes .....it's another part of old age that is perplexing to say the least......i felt so bad Saturday morning that my mom called me an hour before I usually call dad and her to check up on me .....I told her I was shaken but no harm as I was 25 miles North of Mayfield...But I told her I hadn't slept any in over 24 hours so for her to tell dad i wasn't calling him that day.....I was just exhausted from worry and at one time Paducah had tornadoes 25 miles south of us and one that was 15 miles North of us at the same time.......whew , and this happening in December ......WTF ?
