Members sameoldbluesman Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Had a tornado warning for Athens, Ga last night but I haven't been outside to check if there is any damage. I was kind of asleep the whole time, but me and my fam in Covington are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A.P. Ryder Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Man, I just got on and saw almost 200 dead. Glad you guys down there are alright. Stay well! Mother Nature is having her monthlies, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I woke up this morning and just knew I was gonna have trees laying all in my yard or on my house but everything was just fine. It's thundering really bad now though so it's probably about to hit here again. I'm in Middle GA by the way, about 2 hours south of Atlanta.

Members duderanimous Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 There's some crazy ass weather going on... hope everyone is OK. Those St. Louis, MO area tornadoes from last Friday, all of the severe damage was within 5 to 10 miles from my house. Amazing that nobody was killed or even really seriously injured here.

Members Agreed Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Death toll already around 2/3 of the Super Outbreak. At a firm 2nd place today, and search and rescue is just underway. I didn't die and so many people did. {censored} the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members duderanimous Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wow... I've just checked pictures of the devastation. Insane. Looks like giant drill bits just scoured the ground. I really hope nobody who hangs out here was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheHarakiriEnd Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm ok, {censored} the tornado (the big one, f5) literally missed my home by 50 yards. I now have a 5 mile view from my back yard and to the side I can now see the interstate... {censored} got seriously bad, there are so many people hurt or dead, the west side of the city is {censored}ed. I was out this morning helping clean up but we had to open the business so now I am here helping plan a relief this weekend for victims of the damage (i.e. I sell lots of food that is my part in the thing this weekend).

Members goaway Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 I haven't had cable or Internet since the storms hit, this is the first time I've had decent coverage on my iPhone. Luckily I just got heavy thunderstorms. We did have tornado sirens all day. Glad everyone here is safe. Weather sucks man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheHarakiriEnd Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not sure how it is that our business has power, almost everyone around is without. It'll probably be days before the power is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goaway Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 A lot of what I'm seeing reminds me of enterprise back in March 2007. I truly feel for Tuscaloosa and cullman and anyone who has been affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OnWingsOfLead Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Last week I escaped the F3 that went through Raleigh by one block. If it would've hit the store we'd all be dead (really crappy metal building with NO interior rooms) Everything one block behind the store was destroyed.

Members Mistersuperfly Posted April 28, 2011 Members Share Posted April 28, 2011 Cnn says 272 people so far confirmed dead... I've got a feeling that by the end of the day this will have been the worst tornado outbreak yet. I was in south alabama Tuesday and had to get to work in Nashville by Wednesday afternoon, my original plan was to leave Wednesday morning and drive during the day, glad I changed my mind at the last minute and drive late Tuesday night, I'd have been right in the middle of it on the roads... (that drive goes past Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Huntsville) I'm just wondering if I know anybody that was killed... I know quite a few people in Tuscaloosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
