Fervent prayers from BSA Troop 1 and Venture Crew 29 here in GA.
We had a tornado warning once while in camp, but nothing touched down. You're just very exposed, even in the NGA mountains.

The radar they are showing right now is by far probably the WORST I’ve ever seen... Thanks for that link.

4 dead and 40 hurt. How incredibily sad. They must not have had any place to take shelter or they didn’t get a warning.

Prayers up from a Asst Scoutmaster,Den Leader, Asst Cubmaster.
Talk about worst case scenario.
I’ll bet that an unprecedented number of hero stories come out of this in a few days, cause that’s what Scouts do.

Well, we’re right in the road of this line of storms too. I have a hunch we’re going to be seeing quite a bit of the basement this evening.
My heart breaks for the families of these scouts.
