Alabama, and all others ok!

[bigtyme1]

I'm hoping everyone a safe recovery in Alabama and everywhere else. The storms are bad this year. We had a close call today. the kids were taken down stairs in school and the nieghbors all saw the funnel clouds in the area. Thankfully nothing touch down enough to do any major damages. But its a scary feeling when the school calls me at work to let me know the kids are ok.

Agree -- and thanks for posting the well wishes Mark!

I said in another thread -- I promise to never complain about all the rain we get... rain doesn't hurt and kill people.... These tornadoes are really serious!

We get some heavy winds this time of year but never anything to serious. Bad deal for all involved.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers Guy's. I live here in Chelsea, AL, I'm just a few miles Southeast of B'ham. We had one Tornado come over my Town Wed., and a couple more that turned just as they got close,thankfully no damage. Seeing a tornado coming your way is an indescribable feeling, just the shear feeling of helplessness and fear, I don't care who you are, you'll pray like you've never prayed before. Tornado's around here a expected every spring, so this was nothing we weren't prepared for, they were just too numerous and powerful this time, just wave after wave of them, that was unusual.
The pics on TV do not begin to show the scope and shear size of what happened this time, That one Tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, left a path of destruction over 165 miles long!! And before it got here at B'ham it was a 1/2 to 1 mile wide, you can't get away from a monster like that.

Between the weather and all the destruction, it is unbelievable what mother nature has tossed out in the past 6 months. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those that have been deeply affected.
