Bliss, KY storm report: There was hail, and property damage

So far, no reports of injuries to people. Most of damage at Miss Victoria's farm was to buildings. She, Gertrude, and Myrtle Cat Pike were hiding under the bed, thanks to the early warning call from Greg Thomas

By Victoria Pike

Most of the damage here at our farm was to the west side of buildings with vinyl siding from the large hail. The cattle seem to be ok. I opened the barn but they were too scared to go in. Checked in on some of the neighbors and most all have window, siding and roof damage. I am just glad we didn't have a touch down and loss of life.



Mother and I headed under the bed with Myrtle, the cat, while Gary runs from door to door looking out. Not sure if I should claim him at this point.We got the warning call that we were going under a tornado warning a few minutes before and were ready.

Thanks so much to the early warning from Greg Thomas.

I haven't heard of anyone in the neighborhood who was hurt. That was a blessing.

I am sure the cows will have a nice headache but all are still upright. - Victoria Pike

Poor, poor Miss Vicky: Her house after the hail



2012-03-02 - Intersection of Burkesville & Edmonton Roads, Bliss, KY - Photo by Vicky Pike. Huge hail took huge hunks of paint off the back of the great manor house on Miss Vicky's Farm. Miss Vicky is thankful that the property damage was no worse than it was. There were no human injuries she's heard of in the Greater Bliss area, and, thanks to the Good Lord and Greg Thomas, she, Myrtle the Cat, and Gertrude were able to find safe cover under the bed. Greg Thomas sent an early warning call alerting them well ahead of the fury. Strangely, only the west side of the house, the side toward Bud Mullins', the ogre's, sinkhole, was so severely damaged.
