I have family in Huntsville, From what I’m told its a ghost town. No power, no stores open. Huntsville Hospital has cancelled all surgeries.

To top it all off I now hear about Browns Ferry shutting down. Praying all is resolved quickly

I agree. I was in Tuscaloosa in the 70’s when the same area was hit with a small tornado. I chased the things while in Tuscaloosa for the NWS,Ham Radio operator, the closest we had to this one was when a small town N. of Tuscaloosa was wiped out. The only humorous one, no loss of life or major property damage, was when the NWS radar in Centerville, Al was taken out by a direct hit and the radar operators continued to operate until the tower went down. We all thought they were nuts for not running for the shelter. Luckily they only lost the tower.

My daughters father-in-law lives outside Muscle Shoals, I guess I’d better call the son-in-law and check on him. I was focused on Tuscaloosa and didn’t think about that area until this report.

Prayers are definitely in order for all of the victims.

What do you here about power being restored there in Huntsville? You didn’t get hit badly, did you?
