Tornado Alley

[tdb810]

Thinking if everyone down in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and other areas affected by this devastating weather. Just watching footage of Tuscaloosa, and can't help but think of Megalicious and anyone else being impacted by this dreadful string of storms.  Also hoping that all of Br00ke's people are ok.
Stay safe everyone!

Seth and Bailey are okay. Just got a text.

Haven't seen a tweet or a FB post from Meg in a couple of hours. I hope she's ok.

The twister that hit 2 blocks from the house was officially classified as an F2. Scary.

Seth and Bailey are okay. Just got a text.

Thanks for the update, so glad they are ok.

One of meg's fb friends just posted that she is ok, no cell service or power in most areas.

there are a ton of video, photos and such out there. i saw one where you can see the torando just behind bryant denny stadium and i saw a video of mcfarland blvd and it was totally unrecognizable. 400,000 residents w/o power.

 :o  Wow. Scary stuff.  I'm so glad to hear that everyone is okay.  Just hope the cleanup and recovery isn't too arduous.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

what a helpless thing to watch as it comes towards the city.  it looks like it starts to split into two tornado's at the end of clip.  gnarly shit.  yahoo is saying 40people died today in the south so far, horrible. 

[ms. yvon]

thanks for the word on meg.  i was hopeful there would be some news of her here.
absolutely terrible what is happening in AL and MO this week.
those poor people.

Thoughts and prayers to family and friends south of here. Nashville was a rough go last night and today, but nothing compared to south of us.

Hey Brooke - my parents live in Cullman and my bro is in Fultondale.  They got it pretty rough.  My dad sent me some pretty gnarly pictures from yesterday... Wow.  Just devastating.  Glad to hear your family and friends are all okay so far.

[Crispy]

Oh damn, this is horrible stuff, so many people...good to hear Meg's okay, and Seth and Bailey, and Brooke's peeps. Stay strong, we're with y'all.

Scosby, Brooke, Jon T, Tracy, Mega and everyone else, may I just send best wishes to you and your family and friends.  Mother nature is always so goddamn horrifying and humbling.

[vespachick]

Doesn't AngryEwok live in Tuscaloosa, too?  I hope he's okay.  We're thinking of you Brad, hope you & your family are okay. 

[NoVa_NoLa]

Glad to read that y'all are OK...heard the mayor of Birmingham (I think) on the radio this morning.  He mentioned that they needed clothes (all types infant to adult and water.   So many have lost everything...

[br00ke]

thanks to everyone for their good thoughts. i can't speak for everyone but i imagine they are hurting like the state of alabama has been. it's just wild. i know a handful of folks that have lost everything ... some lost everything down to the hallway they were in with a mattress over their family. it's unbelievable, i just can't imagine  :embarassed: my immediate family has been w/o power since this all went down and i haven't been able to be in touch but my mom got power back this morning for a bit only to have it yanked away. from what i hear, family in tuscaloossa have yet to get power but they are oh so happy to be alive.

Brad posted on FB that he's ok.
