Ok here. Several confirmed long track tornadoes just N and and at least one just S of us. Which is highly unusual. This ain't the plains. They are getting more and more common here but are usually short lived. We will have to wait on the NWS to confirm, but according to local weather station one was possibly on the ground for around 100 miles. And that same system supposedly ramped up again when it reached SC. I'm glad we were spared the brunt of it, but my thoughts and prayers go out to the ones that weren't so fortunate. I'm sure they will check in, but GaPrime and Grit should be fine as well.

Everything is good here. My stomach hurts looking at the pictures of everyone's property damage.

Not in Alabama, we can get em here year round.. only thing kept us clear yesterday it had cooled down before it hit... In fact we usually get more here then south Ala. gets..we are right in the bullseye..jltrent said:
I have been sending text messages to friends in Alabama this morning so far everyone I know is ok. My heart goes out to the folks that aren't. Tornadoes scare me much more than hurricanes, you just can't prepare for them. Praying for all those that have been impacted by these storms.

It was pretty sketchy yesterday. Don't think I had anything tore up again but it was dark when it came thru and dark when I left this morning.

Saw this on the news here, thinking about those affected. Your tornadoes just seem to strike out of the blue, peoples lives literally turned upside down.

When I heard about this, this morning, I was wondering about our CT members. I really feel for those folks that have suffered so much loss. Saddened by the loss of life.
Like Gizmom, tornadoes scare the bejeebies out of me! Hurricanes and earthquakes, not so much.
Thankful for our CT members that are okay and sending out prayers for those who are not okay and who have been adversely affected.

That's my home turf. Still have lots of family in Lee Co.; all safe, thankfully - cousin-brother & his family live in Smiths Station/Salem area... said the tornado passed about a mile from their home. Too close for comfort.
Have not looked at Facebook to see if any old friends in the Beauregard area were impacted, but my brother, who's on there all the time, hasn't texted me about anyone injured or killed.

Wow. That's horrible. Absolute destruction. If you happen to be directly in the path of one I don't know if you stand a chance above ground. Guess there are a lot of variables that come in to play. Is it because, due to technology and media, that we now are able to know what's happening anywhere in the world in 5 minutes, or are weather patterns changing in the southeast? I know we've had isolated tornadoes over the years in Georgia, but it was basically an anomaly until the last 3-4 years or so. Now it seems like it's EVERY year, at least TWICE a year with multiple tornadoes. And occasionally it's multiple days in a row.
I never thought I'd say it, but I'm seriously thinking about installing a storm shelter.
