My mother spent a great deal of the day in the middle of the house...the bathroom. Bless her heart for real...
God love those who lost folks, and those who lost property.

My wife has extensive family connections in Elmore County, AL. Apparently one of these tornadoes hit Mount Hebron Rd. which is definitely in their neighborhood, within less than a mile of one house that I know of.
If anybody has a link to disaster information there or a list of casualties, please let me know.

I’m in Elmore county. No deaths here, mercifully.
It’s still dark. Upon sunup, I’ll go exploring and see how bad things were...

Just heard on FNC that the total dead is been increased to 173...

System here in South Caronlina now. As with the last one it's in a sparsely populated area, quickly moving east, and weakening.
To: Scutter
FNC is reporting this tornado was on the ground for 220 Miles! Just Wow! Killing 128 people in Alabama and 32 in Mississippi. 178 killed in 5 states.

Lost power here in the morning, and then again in the evening when round 2 hit. It was out for almost 12 hours, came back on this morning. In a place where everything is electric (water heater, stove, air conditioning, etc) losing electricity knocks you back quite a ways. Canned veggies, fruit, and bread by candlelight last night.
If it had not come back today, things in the refrigerator would have spoiled, I think.
Makes you think about how life would change if the power was lost for a week, two weeks, a month, or a year due to a variety of scenarios.

Death toll in the Chattanooga Channel 3 viewing area is 27 so far. This includes Ringgold, GA and the Cleveland, TN areas.

Several of these were very powerful, long-track tornadoes. Papers and other items identifiable as being from Tuscaloosa have been found up to 100 miles away, many items falling to the ground all along the path of the tornadoes.

Finally, a statement from Mr. President. Apparently, before this, not enough people had died and had their homes and businesses destroyed in the previous band of severe storms and tornadoes for him to make one.
I shouldn’t be so bitter about this president, should I?
To: dixiechick2000
Prayers for all! This is just heartbreaking. Death toll over 200 across the south according to reports.
