Kentucky Family Homeless for a Second Time After Tornado Hits Same Property Where Home Was Destroyed in 2021

Devin Johnson has been displaced for a second time after a tornado destroyed his home in Barnsley, Ky., over the Memorial Day weekend, reports the Associated Press and NBC News.

Johnson, 21 and his girlfriend Haley Loukota first became homeless in 2021 after a storm destroyed their home on the same lot of land.

We never thought that it would happen again,” Johnson told the Associated Press. “All we know for sure is we’re not going back here,” adding, “It’s going to have so many memories of us losing everything.”

Johnson’s previous home was first destroyed during a December 2021 tornado outbreak, which also killed 81 people in Kentucky.

You start hearing a roar and then the entire house started shaking,” Devin recalled for the Associated Press. “The power started flickering and the windows just shattered. And then all of sudden you just feel the wind and pressure and this roar just ripping through the house and it starts tugging on you and trying to drag you out.”
