Default All Hell Breaking Loose Right Now.
My thoughts and prayers to the good folks of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. Right now I am listening to the police scanner to the reports of the tornados going thru my town of Clayton Georgia,right now. Police stations on fire,destroyed houses,too many trees down to count. Guess I'll be out at first light with my chain saw helping where ever I can.
The wind is picking up pretty good right now. Hope the power stays on.

HOLY ****!

Not smart would be a gross understatement. Obscenely lucky? Darwin Award candidate?

That close to an F4 in an unprotected vehicle??? History Channel or Nat Geo just ran the special on the F5 that went through Oklahoma City a few years back. Not a single car in one high school's parking lot was drivable. Not a window remained in any of them, and they had horses in their parking lot from a ranch about a mile and a half away.

Think about that for a minute, a horse, as flying debris.

They showed one lady going into the emergency room with a chunk of 2x4 maybe 18-24" long sticking out of her neck.

Sheer stupidity to get that close to one.

Hope everyone in this thread made it through the night safe as well as everyone they know and care about. The nights can drag on ad infinitum when you're worried sick about someone you know.

Keep those folks in your prayers. A bunch of people lost their lives and others who made it lost every they owned.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Tuscaloosa is terrible. Trees are stripped bare and buildings are absolutely leveled... Looks like OKC in 1998, or my town when I was a kid. Just one of those rare times when an EF4-5 hits a populated area.
