Awful tornado last night in KY

So tragic, many deaths and terrible destruction.

I haven’t hear of a tornado that could throw train cars around, but this one sure did. At least a couple major derailments where the cars got pushed off the tracks, or even traveled some distance.

Can’t see how any outdoor layouts in the affected area could survive. But let’s hope our brothers and sisters in the hobby are doing ok in all the important ways, and say a prayer for all the folks there.

Story I read was one car was tossed up hill from the tracks, the cars were all empty but still they are not light, I could see they would get blown over, but picked up and tossed around is some very strong winds

I’m hearing reports that last night’s tornado(s) had the highest ever recorded wind speed of over 300 mph :grimacing:
