It is where one Kentucky lawmaker lives.
Our June Lefler scoped out the damage with the state senator on Sunday.
State Senator Brandon Storm represents Kentuckians across four counties, but those living in London are his neighbors.
It's just very traumatic.
It's something that you really can't comprehend, until you see the damage he has.
Grandma and his in-laws all live in Crooked Creek, an affluent and badly damaged subdivision.
The tattered tree canopy and this leveled home showed the path of destruction.
Debris covers the otherwise pristine golf course.
People gather what's been scattered and form piles.
So they'll come in here and they'll unload it.
And we've got the police coming in right now.
Just trying to make sure that's community safe.
They work through the still sunny evening.
Well, we have been trying today to clean out, salvage what we can see, what we can find, because everything got tossed around, you know, and things in there.
Sherry Osborne's cousin lives here.
Her roof is two houses down on that side of the road behind their house.
And then the ceiling caved in on her.
She was on the couch, so her husband had to dig her out from the ceiling tiles.
Her cousin was released from the hospital.
Yes, she's okay.
She's got lacerations and bruises and cuts and things like that.
But, you know.
But thank God, like I said, nothing serious.
Storm has heard these stories throughout his neighborhood.
They had no power in this area, no television or anything.
So some people could not really see the fact that the storm was moving this way or that the tornado was moving toward them.
And so we heard from one family tonight that said that, you know, the I think the wife got up to get a flashlight to see around the house.
Had no idea that a tornado was going to come through the roof of her roof off her home.
So I think the first, step is insurance claims.
Individuals had to file their homeowner's insurance claims.
Secondly, FEMA will come and do the assessments.
And then hopefully that will, make those individuals whole.
And I think the General Assembly, if there's any sort of state infrastructure damage or, you know, things of that nature that we might step in again, I haven't spoken with anybody specifically about that.
So there's no promises.
But again, I think it's one of those situations where, you know, if there's infrastructure damage, schools, jails, you know, courthouses.
Again, I don't think any of that has happened, but, I haven't been all across the area just yet.
And so we're just going to make sure that we do the appropriate, appropriate assessments.
It may be too soon to fully assess the damage as areas are once again under another tornado watch Tuesday.
For Kentucky edition, I'm June Leffler.
