(please excuse the somewhat off-topic rant)
Not to compare degrees of tragedy, or to dismiss or downplay the suffering and destruction in Henryville, but I'm pretty hacked-off that the national media has been basically ignoring the destruction of West Liberty, KY. It's clear why: Henryville was hit early in the day, and is on an interstate only 30 miles from Louisville. West Liberty was hit in the evening, and is in the middle of nowhere, 1.5 hour drive from Lexington on a good day (and this is not a good day), on some not great roads. Still, there were at least 4 deaths, more than 75 injured, and the hospital is among the damaged buildings. Some of the downtown buildings may be salvagable, but very little is inhabitable right now. But the suffering and destruction in West Liberty is invisible to the national media...
Southern Indiana got hit hard, no doubt. But the death toll in Kentucky is already higher, and still rising...
