Just google Ringgold,GA tornado.we made it fine here. just some rain, then we had some nasssssty lightining. woke me up from a dead sleep and actually scared me a bit. im certain some of those hits had to be striking something close to me. it sounded too powerfull not to be hitting something.

Coke Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Safe and sound here in Buffalo. We had tornado warnings and watches all day yesterday. It stayed more south, near the Pennsylvania border. We just got rain and today it is very windy, but sunny. Glad to hear everyone else is safe.

jonboyb Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I've spent the better part of last night/this morning contacting the few members I know were in the eye of the storm. Jess/Melena, Brandon, Ken Blalock are all fine. I know they never post so I thought I'd update for them. Brandon had an F5 pass within 1/2 mile of his house outside Cullman, AL which is leveled in areas. Has anyone heard from our Tuscaloosa members??? My dad had a touchdown just above his house in N. GA but just basic hail/wind damage at his place. And for those who haven't looked.....all my projects are in Alabama and the northern part of the state is completely devistated. Rumored to be the longest stretch a tornado has ever stayed on the ground...basically Miss. to NC and F5 strength for alot of that stretch. Tracked Tuscaloosa to Birmingham. EMA's in AL are stating it could be days or longer before the extent of the damage and fatalities is known. Very sad situation.

MainstreaM Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Everyone at my house is OK. I had to get the trampoline out of the neighbors yard and clean up debris. I drove to work in the middle of the worst crap. Windshield is chipped and car has some hail damage but I made it. We had several units (nuclear and fossil) trip offline. Our plant was and is basically holding up what's left of the grid, so the pucker factor here is pretty high. If we trip off, all of SE TN, NW GA, and NE AL would be in the dark. Lots of damage and fatalities all around though. Prayers to all those who lost loved ones in this ordeal. Here's a good view of the devastation around Chattanooga.http://timesfreepress.com/tmpVids/aerialviewtn.html Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSI_SVT Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I am ok. One tornado passed about a mile from my home but I had no damage. No power anywhere in the surrounding area though. Sand mountain was hit hard. Buildings, homes, chicken houses were leveled by a f5 tornado that averaged a half mile wide. Over 30 deaths have been confirmed in Dekalb county alone. Yesterday I drove about 15 miles following the path of the storm. It is simply astounding at the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
