Well last night was so not fun.

It started out fun. I was at a birthday party for a good friend.

I had to leave the game and shut down the computer when the tornado warnings came out. We lost power for a little while. Most of the damage was further west, near the building where I work. Quite a few people that I know had damage to their homes and businesses.

I am very thankful that there was no loss of life this time. The killer tornados earlier this year were also very close to where we are.

On the plywood over one of the stores downtown they wrote "Dorothy blew by for a visit" and "Snickers is ok". (Snickers is their cat). So life is slowly getting back to normal here in some areas. The hardest hit residential area will take a while to clean up and rebuild.

Needless to say, I got very little sleep last night, and it has been a very long day at work. I am trying to log into vmk, but for some reason, the game is reloading and it is taking forever. Hope to see you all in the game soon!

Oh great, report of another tornado tonight south of here. Looks like its going to be another long night. I might just throw every pillow I own into the jacuzzi bathtub and sleep in there!

It is terrifying to be around the sounds of an approaching tornado. I remember while staying at a hotel in Little Rock hearing the sirens go off. Lets just say we made it to the lobby very quickly. Some damage was done around the river area but it scared the heck out of us more than anything. Give me a hurricane anyday, atleast you know what to expect and when.

Best of luck "Fly" stay safe girly!:grouphug:
 
I saw that on our news today and wondered if any of our Dis friends were close by!
Hugs to you Fly! Glad everything is ok
 

glad to hear you're ok! Stay safe! I'll take our earthquakes here in California any day, thank you very much!
 
Glad you made it okay! My husband just informed me a while ago, we are under tornado watches too. There is a warning south of us..
Sounds like that time of year has come again...

yeah there's a huge Tornado watch area.. it covers most of south georgia and one of or weather men here in Atlanta thinks it's overkill.
 
Fly, I am so glad you were spared - keeping both prayers in my heart and fingers crossed for all in your community and around the South for a safe evening!
 
The last thing we need is for you to be "Fly"ing for real! Glad you are safe as and all is well.
 
Wow Briar said you were having problems with storms last night. It wasn't hard to figure out what she was talking about. So glad you are safe! Heed those warnings! Those storms mean business! Trust me I know!
 
Glad you are safe! We were driving home from the DTD area when we heard the warnings on the radio for the tornado for Lake county. Saw the after math on the news yesterday, very sad.
 
Thanks everybody for all your kind words and thoughts.

Have a magical day everyone!

Fly :hippie:
