Buildin' it his way, one piece at a time...
Glad you and your families made it though.. both of you must not be far from my Uncle and grandmother.. they are in Empire AL, we finally got a hold of them a few hours ago and thankfully they are all ok.. damage to the house and my uncles favorite old truck that hes had as long as I can remember apparently got crushed by a tree.. but some of my uncles friends and neighbors weren't so fortunate...
watched a bunch of videos on youtube,some scary stuff.Always wondered why nobody seems to have basements down there,water table issues?I'd for sure have at least a concrete bunker.We've had a few around us in the last 5 years but they are pretty rare up in this country but do occasionally threaten in july/augwhen we get our evening thunderstorms after a hot day.I hope all turns out ok for everyone,stay safe friends.

Some bad ones this early. My daughter called me a couple days ago. They had one touch down and tear up the neighboring homes but not theirs. She was pretty scared, was under a mattress.

Glad to hear you guys are okay. What a mess. I was raised in Oklahoma, and have seen my share of twisters, and damage, but what I am seeing on the news..... wow.
My thoughts are with all the people who have damage, or loss.

Most of the old home places where I live in the country used to have what we called storm cellars. It was not uncommon to see a shelter dug into a hill side of mound near the home. It is something most have gotten away from and a good substitute was not utilized. I would guess 25% of the local residents have basements. The others have slab, crawl spaces, or mobile homes with no shelter available. The old people went to the trouble to dig and equip the storm cellars being realistic about what might happen. I guess we are too busy enjoying the good life and think it will never happen to us. I have a basement, but am just as negligent. I am proud of the wiseness of my grandfathers and their time.

We had 15 people killed in my area, I was very blessed that they missed me.

They can happen anywhere.
It seems to me tornadoes hit where we don't think they ever have... much more often then they come back to the same place... even within the lanes of high probability.
God bless those people and their families and a prayer that the rebuilding work goes out to honest folks and may lighting strike any con men coming in to take advantage.
