Call the police force of the town, or whoever has jurisdiction. The more local the better. Some municipalities are (were) keeping people out unless they could prove they lived there, or owned property there. To keep out lookey-loos and looters.
I heard that a lady drove over from Cincy with a cooler full of hamburgers and another cooler full of soda. It was much appreciated.

A town close by had straight line wind's come thru. They were not letting anyone in unless you lived there. The first couple day's, you were either in or out. After that it was relaxed a bit. It was still 3-4 weeks of detours while cleanup was in progress. A minute or so and it is all over with. No warning!
A tornado, you have a warning period to take shelter. Straight line, nothing.

When the tornados hit Newburgh volunteers would go to a designated church and they were told where to go and help.

Thanks for the suggestions. We won't be able to make it down there until next week, so in the meantime we are going to try contacting our local food pantry, too, and see if they are putting any food drive together.

I wonder if there was a map that showed touch downs over the last several hundred years if there would be any ground that was untouched here in the Midwest? It would be interesting to see if certain small areas got hit over and over and some that never did.
Sadly it makes sense that as temps moderate some years, that tornado alley could move north -- at least briefly. Could this be the earliest on record for a tornado outbreak of this magnitude this far north?
