Steven Fields, Kerry Davis at Grab, Green Co. tornado site 2018-02-26 - Pickett farm, KY 88, East of Donansburg, west of Grab, Green County, KY - Photo by Linda Marcum Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Steven Fields, left, and Kerry Davis, provided comprehensive information about the tornado's impact, as Ed Waggener, center, took notes. They directed us on the path of the storm to the home of Kerry's parents-in-law, Indus and Shirley Pickett. Meeting them was like old home day, with Fields' and Davis' knowledge of North Metcalfe, Green and Hart Counties. This photo shows little of the damage from the tornado, but was made just a few feet from a huge stack of lumber rubble, all that was left of Indus Pickett's barn. - Linda Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Shirley & Indus Pickett, above, stand in front of a downed pine tree and a water tank blown from the field across the road. Metal and wood debris from their farm's one-minute encounter with a tornado on Saturday evening February 26, 2018 at 10:30pmCT can begin to be seen behind them. Two barns and a majority of the trees on the Pickett's five acre farm were destroyed. Fortunately, they said, and so far as they know, no one in this area had been injured, though they knew from television about the death in Logan County County, and the another in Laurel County. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mystery tree growths in need of identification 2018-02-25 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Calling on tree specialists among columbiamagazine.com readers -- please help identify the growths on this limb hanging over Town Creek in Columbia. From the spring green fan shapes that stick out from the wood (which first caught my eye) to the coral buds that look like flower petals opening on the upper side, to the rose colored growth on the underside that, on very close inspection, appears as tiny stalactite formations hanging from a cave ceiling. Do all three make up one fungus in different stages or are they different families? A quick search found this list of tree fungi but none seem to match. Enlightenment will be very much appreciated. - LW Comments, clarifications, corrections, recommendations Billy Joe Fudge - Mushroom website Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
