Let The Storm Season Begin

[Born 2 Fish]

Suup ya'll,
pears our county took a real azz whipp'n today,, the sheriff was on local news, confirmed a few deaths,,not sure of total yet.
On my way home I saw a lot of distruction. Denise, Braden and the fur balls are fine, no damage at our home, in fact the HWY we live off of looks fine. Wish I could say the same bout the other areas around.
I hope all the fiends are fine? Where ever ya'll live.

I just got off the phone with my neighbor who works for an ambulance service, he was right in the middle of the first one that dropped into Murfreesboro. He said there was 2 deaths, a woman and a child, and he had taken one from a car that was in very bad shape. He said that at first his ambulance was full with a mother and kids who had been beaten around pretty badly but were ok otherwise. Its pretty well tore up along some paths and lets hope the toll doesn't rise with all the searches going on.

They're working their way through here now. East of town is getting it. We've had some nasty stuff come through Paulding - weather radio went off and it said "local law enforcement has spotted a tornado just east of Aragon that is headed east" - we live 5 miles due east of Aragon. It's been a scary evening - but I think they're done on this side of town anyway.

We were pretty lucky here in Kennesaw! Went to the north and south of us. Got a little rain but sure glad we missed that hail that went north of us!

We got some hail - the size of a large grape - but I think that was the worst of it. Thank goodness!
Glad you didn't get much in Kennesaw!

I see the storms are crossing Ala tonight and we are suppose to get more tomorrow afternoon. One after another, everyone stay alert and keep safe!

New tornado estimates are: 2 people died, a woman and 9 month old baby, 42 injured, 94 homes destroyed, 718 damaged and $33.4 million in damage. And more storms on their way today.

I used to live in TX and AL and I forgot how bad these things were. You guys all run for the basement when the sirens go off......

That's the problem in TN...very few of us have basements. That was a real shock when I first moved here from Buffalo. I asked my wife "where the heck do I put all my crap?". That's when I learned the location of our county dump.

But seriously, there have been times during storms I have wished I had a basement or storm shelter. Somehow, just going into an interior closet doesn't seem to provide much safety if your house is completely destroyed.

What happened in Murfreesboro was awful! Where it hit was about 1/2 mile from my old house. Several of my friend's and their parents homes have been completely destroyed! Very scary stuff. Good think about Florida == hurricanes have long warnings!

Wow!!

 

[disney92]

OMG!! If I saw that coming I would.... well let's just say ...I would need new pants!!

Hope everyone is ok!!

WOW that was a bad one! We had one like that about 10 years ago near my home. Easter night we got straightline winds and I lost my gazebo but nuttin compared to that.!!!! I love Alabama but sure hate our weather...much more unpredictible than hurricanes...atleast you can plan to evacuate then...the twisters are likely to often to go anywhere...wish I had a basement!!!
