Omg, I was so busy with an RP at Beth yesterday that I didn't even come here... I was totally unaware all of this was going on! I'm so sorry! mALX, I am so glad to hear that you are safe. That's so scary! Tornadoes are one of the things that simply terrify me, and thankfully in Wisconsin we don't get slammed with them very often... Those pictures you posted are amazing and terrifying.... My mom used to live near Knoxville, but she moved back up here to WI after the death of her great love... I visited her there, and it's beautiful, but I could never live in an area that gets hit with tornadoes so often... So scary! Thank God you are okay! treydog, grits, mALX, Rick--and anyone else in these storms--I hope everything continues to get better, and I hope all of you will continue to stay safe! My prayers are with you. TK--that video was truly hard to watch... but thank you for posting it... This post has been edited by Lady Syl: Apr 28 2011, 04:29 PM

You didn't get any reports of funnel clouds, did you, Trey? Updrafts like that, and I would not be remotely surprised to hear there were. Marble-sized hail is enough to do some pretty good damage to your roof (know that from experience, but thankfully our insurance has agreed to pay for the repairs). Bordering Texas (highest volume of Tornadoes in the U.S.), we occasionally get a few twisters to the east. It's scary enough knowing those things are close, I don't envy those who dwell in the Alley. You people have guts.  Oh, and Syl, I think it's a lot more difficult to listen to the sound-byte of the Xenia storm. That tornado killed 34 people, it was one of the most violent in world history. Still, Wichita-Andover was nothing to scoff at. I'm pretty surprised that tornado did so little damage to McConnell AFB. This post has been edited by Thomas Kaira: Apr 29 2011, 03:26 AM

I agree with you there--I could never live in those areas that get hit the worst. Too frightening for me... Honestly, I didn't listen to the sound byte... I couldn't muster up the courage to...  I am glad to know so many of you are okay, but seeing that no one here has seen or heard from Rick yet really has me starting to worry... I hope he's okay. We should definitely keep him in our prayers. Wait--there he is! I just happened to see his name down there at the bottom! This post has been edited by Lady Syl: Apr 29 2011, 04:10 AM

All the tornado damage is crazy. I'm in Midwestern Arkansas and a tornado did some serious damage about five minutes down the road from here...all we got was some flooding and hail damage to our vehicles. Its crazy to see the damage around the rest of the state and some of the other states close by...its the worst damage I've seen around here in a long time. Luckily it just missed us but for a little while I was sweating pretty good.
