ALABAMA LUMBERJOCKS: PLEASE SOUND OFF !!!

I am ok, we did get any bad weather in Montgomery.

The TV coverage was disturbing, because a big tornado went right through the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa area. 40 died in that area alone. So far 128 dead in Alabama, from the internet news, but I suspect it will end up higher. With over a hundred tornados, it will be a while before it is all sorted out.

Hopefully communication services will come back soon and we will get an idea of the situation…......

We are in good shape. Miraculously, the Lord managed to lift that same storm that his Tuscaloosa right over my area and it wend on and did more damage up the road, but we are all ok. Barely even had a hard wind at my house.

Scary stuff. my coworker is from alabama so he called home to check in. His parents are ok but they can’t get a hold of a good friend and are hoping he just doesn’t have power. I hope all you LJ’s from there are ok.

The Storm Prediction Center said 151 tornados were reported across the south although not all have been confirmed. Geez thats a lot.

Glad to hear it…

What about the other Southern States? Can y’all please check in and let us know that you are okay? There were twisters all the way from Texas to points far east…

There were a few twisters in the Carolina mountains. The storm hit Charlotte around 4 AM. Guys, I’ve never seen a storm move that quick. Lots of lighting, rain & wind. It was here and gone in minutes. Everything here is ok. The coast is getting it now.

What a year so far, just devastating. It is now at 162 deaths in Alabama and 230+ total. Its it hard to imagine the hell that all must have gone through the past hours and will have to endure for the weeks to come. My thought are with all that were effected.

these are the
‘sangre de cristo’ mts.
(blood of christ)
the lower part of the rocky’s

they run north south through the state
on the other side (east)
the great plains begin

we butt against texas and oklahoma

two days ago i had a light drizzle here
it goes over the mountains
and turns into the blizzards/floods/tornado’s/winter snows
that devastate the rest of the country

the storms that practically shut down california
take a breather here
but once they cross the sangre de cristo mt’s
they unite with the arctic jet stream
and the gulf of mexico moisture
and lay waste to everything in it’s path
to the atlantic ocean

God keep you all safe
and your loved ones

I’m 15 miles from North Alabama line. We lost some trees, sheds, had some trees fall on houses, but otherwise got off lightly compared to Ala. As I understand it there is no power in much of state. We are running out of gas here due to folks from down there driving to Tennessee to get gas.

Nasty business. Glad you guys are ok.

I’ll cross my fingers for all of you there, and send my thoughts to those wo are not lucky.
