My son, D.J. goes to college in Berea, Ky., which is in Madison County. It is being reported on tricities.com that a confirmed tornado touched down there this evening with one confirmed death. We haven't been able to get in touch with him at all. Please pray for him and everyone concerned.
I saw that on the news over here. They reported one person dead and another missing. I hope he's alright. My sons' aunt lives over there, too...hope her and her kids are ok.

Just spoke to a friend who said most of the damaged area was not near Berea.

A tornado in Madison County today?
It was the one from yesterday. They're also dealing with some major flooding in eastern KY. We were spared from the worst of all this, just barely.
Chris Bailey has a good bit of pics/videos and more info on his website (including the Madison Co. tornado NWS survey info, which is being rated as a high end E-F2 to a low end E-F3..E-F3 is getting into that major tornado category)...

So far Morristown has confirmed tornadoes from that one storm we were talking about in the other thread in Scott and Claiborne Counties in TN (they've not posted anything yet on the other three or four possible counties (like Hawkins and Washington). Rated them E-F2.

That was around exit 84. It's a miracle I missed that one. I did think I saw some funny looking clouds. When I was in Richmond.
