Sit Rep 4 | KY Tornados

DECEMBER 14, 2021 | TUESDAY

Sit Rep 4

The incident is being called the “December 11 Quad-State Tornado.” We are putting aside the updates and showing all of the great disaster aid that is rolling into Kentucky. It is all about people helping people in this most critical time of need and listing the resources for those who like to give, volunteer or what they are doing to make a difference.

THROUGH THE EYES OF SOCIAL MEDIA

The situation in Kentucky is devastating—buildings have been flattened & families have a long road to recovery.

We are seeing so much love & outpouring of support in Kentucky…Melisa was in Dawson Springs using her Christmas savings to run this food truck to feed tornado survivors! Of course, we told her that @WCKitchenwill cover all costs & she’s now part of WCK serving her community!” – World Central Kitchen

“People here in Mayfield, we gotta take care of these folks.” I can’t imagine what they went through, but my heart is filled by Denis and his family—they’ve been cooking meals for the community since the tornadoes. Glad that @WCKitchen can support their efforts! #ChefsForKentucky pic.twitter.com/h8nZbNrQfl
