About Madison County, KY

This past week in Richmond KY has been a crazy one!

It seemed that Madison County would all wash away from rain every day.

The forecast was rain, rain and cloudy with possible rain.

My yard had started to look like a jungle because it didn't stop raining long enough for the yard guy to cut it.

After being swamped by the rain and work all week, I sort of enjoyed the rain on Friday until the electric went off and the Direct TV went out too.

As soon as that happened, I heard the tornado warning siren go off.

These extremely loud sirens are strategically placed all around Madison County to warn us to take cover. They were installed after the 1974 tornado that took my home and left me with only the clothes on my back. It was tough to start over again.

In just moments, I determined what was important to save if a tornado was coming. I grabbed my dog, car keys, purse, cell phone and laptop and headed for the basement. Funny how you just don't need much of what you own.

As I settled in to watch the rain that was blowing sideways past the French doors, I could hear... then see emergency vehicles heading down Hwy 52. Lots of them!

Hmmm...I thought there must be a big car wreck down there. A little later I saw one EMS truck headed back up the road headed to the hospital.

Later, the electric came on and I didn't think much more about it. The next morning I found out a tornado had hit a few miles down the road from my house. A few people in Madison County had died and many more were injured. It didn't seem real somehow.

Sunday morning, I got up early and with my camera in hand, took off to see what had happened.

These Madison County scenes are all on Hwy 52 in Kirksville near 1295.

When I got to the disaster area, there were only 2 National Guard units blocking the Adams Place Subdivision.

These pictures were all taken right past the Kirksville Elementary school.

The tornado took the concrete block car repair shop but left a car on the lift!

LOCAL REALTOR ACHIEVES
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® GREEN DESIGNATION

Richmond, Kentucky- Amanda V. Stepp of Prudential Don Foster Realtors has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS (NAR’s) Green Designation, the only green real estate professional designation recognized by the NAR.
Amanda achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work designed specifically for REALTORS. The courses were created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate.
More specifically, Amanda was trained in understanding what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/ benefits of green building features and practices, distinguishing between industry rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners, and helping consumers see property’s green potential.
“As energy cost rise along with concern for the environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live responsibly,” said Dick Gaylord, NAR’s immediate past president. NAR’s Green Designation was developed in response to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings. The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify REALTORS who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.
As an NAR Green Designee, Amanda has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for Madison County. For more information about Amanda V. Stepp please visit, www.AmandaVStepp.com or email at AmandaVStepp@mac.com
