4/27/11 STORMS

As strong as these are a closet may not cut it, stay safe Nick some real horror stories coming from chasers on the big tornados earlier. These are nothing to fool with.

They showed the twister in birmingham on fox news and that thing kinda looked like the F5 from twister. They said they was getting reports that Gov. buildings was missing.

Had one on the ground about 4-5 miles south of me. The same monster cell that wiped out a large section of the city of Tuscaloosa and was on the ground in B'ham. Power is out. Got the generator out of the race car trailer. Got some lights, TV, computer, internet and fridge. Dug the old rotary phone out of the closet for a land line. Cell phone service is out.

I watched that cell on a tower cam, they kept on about it being a wall cloud.............it wasnt a wall cloud but a damn wedge tornado. It had a similar appearance of the May 3 tornado in Moore OK, I know because I was there...........

We are ok, but everything is tore up. My house and shop are ok, but we were lucky. We won't have power for days, maybe weeks. So far 40 dead. I sawed 14 trees in 1/2 mile on my road. No power anywhere. There are 1000's of trees uprooted everywhere. Hope everyone is ok in other areas.

Take a look at this thing!

David,
I have a spare 4K (loud) generator sitting here if you need to borrow it.
Give me a call if you need it.

I have a 4400 loud one running some, but I don't have much gas. I will travel somewhere with power and get some today. I'm going to see if I can volunteer today and cut trees or something.

David or anyone else for that matter if yall need any help just let me know

HHOOOOOO-LY COOOOW! You guys be safe down there. I checked with everyone in my contacts list this morning that live in the south/southeast. All replied they're OK... I'll be praying for your safety.

It was a interesting day in Mississippi. Seemed like there was tornados popping up everywhere. One time I had two tornados south of the house with the big one to the north. Folks lost their homes, chicken houses and everything. We got away with minor shingle damage.

Guys,

If there is anything we can send to anyone to help let me know........you guys, your family, your friends, I don't care who, let me know.

We are always so fast to send to everyone else, let's take care of our own for once.

Glad all you guys are safe and stay that way,i just came in from the garage and looked at TWC wtf is going on 195 dead in alabama and counting and 35 so far in another state . Man God bless all of ya grab your loved ones and give um a long hug.

Yeah I hope everyone on here got through everything ok, I live in Ringgold just a few miles south of Chattanooga and we got one of the tornado's that touched ground on our exit about 3 miles from the house, got power back but still no internet but thank goodness we made it through everything alright we know a few people that lost their lives, just surreal passing through somewhere we drive everyday to and from work and look and there is nothing there anymore, buildings completely leveled, trees everywhere, power lines everywhere! Just blessed that my wife got off early that day and stopped off and got food as early as she did because 3 hours later the restaurant is no longer there! Hope everyone made it through ok and prayers out to those that went through all of this and hopefully we can get everything built back and the cities back restored.
