MORGANFIELD, Ky. (WEHT) – It’s been more than a week since a tornado came through Union County, and the reminders of what it left behind still litter properties.

Lives were turned upside down on May 16, when Union County homes were no match for winds peaking at 155 miles per hour. Since then, some homes have stayed relatively untouched.

VANDERBURGH COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT) — Saturday afternoon was relatively chilly in the Tri-State. Though temperatures then never went higher than the mid 70s, some decide to go swimming on the first day Burdette Park’s pool opened.

Several braved the cooler temps and physically jumped — or dived — into Burdette Park’s pool for the first time this season.
