    Tornado - Hope all is well

    Lets hope all our members from the affected areas are ok and if possible maybe they could check in. Here in Dallas we sweat "The Big One" like that one in Tuscaloosa (or Jarrell or Moore/OKC). Saferooms dont help in those, you need basements and we dont have em here.

    I was awakened by my weather radio about 4:00 AM. Then another warning about 7:00 AM. Tornado warnings again til 8:00 AM but nothing but some pretty good winds came through. Pouring out now.

    Three in our area, two north of us and one south. Property damage only, thank God. Highly unusual for this section of upstate NY. Lots of flash floods and a 1st, our schools delayed opening this morning due to the severe storms. Prayers for the folks down south.

    I just called relatives in Tuscaloosa. They said it is a real mess all over town and travel is hard. Lots of power out.

    All I can say is that we were blessed! The path comes across the street from me. All I lost was a playset and a trampoline. 100 yards in front of me a two story house exploded. Out neighbor had my son with her and had just left for downtown Rome when it hit. I got a call and rushed home to see the destruction of my neighborhood. Fortunately no one was hurt but all I can say I'd THANK YOU LORD for protecting my family and our friends. I've been in touch with cousin at Georgia State Patrol and Ringold Georgia is in bad shape with 13 deaths and 2 more just north of there. Please be praying for that town and the families. I'll post some Picts up later once I get on a computer. I'm sending this from my phone.

    Scary, 165 Tornados one of them traveled a distance of a 100 miles, and the one in Alabama measured a mile long...

    The power of Mother Nature... Wow!
