TORNADOES 2011 (AL, GA & Company) be ready!
04/17/11 at 06:41:45

update:

27-28 April 2011

I'm not a fearmonger, I just know that a lot of the site's
members live around this area, so heads up and keep safe.

* Areas of Birmingham, Montebello and Shelby (AL) blown to bits
* Storm system heading to Georgia

live stream (tv feed) here:

16-17 April 2011

In a 24 hour period there were more than 100 reported tornadoes
and multiple deaths due to the powerful storms that swept through
the South Friday into Saturday, making it the deadliest storm so far
this season.

The severe weather stretched from Missouri and Illinois in the
North to Mississippi and Georgia in the South.

So far, the severe weather is blamed for several reported
deaths; 2 in Oklahoma, 7 in Arkansas, 7 in Alabama and 4 in
North Carolina. Many injuries were also reported.

Aftermath videos look BAD (jeez, it looks just like japan!).

Please check-in guys and post news, updates, pics, vids, tips, shelter info etc.

...our thoughts and prayers are with all of you out there, good luck.

North Ga checkin' in.

Last week I think we got a good bit of it ended up killing 8 people in one night. Otherwise no catastrophic pictures to share or anything. Since that incident it has really just been some pretty severe thunderstorms causing some havoc.

I'm pretty sure the weather took out our systems for the intersection lights where I am. For the past two weeks I get off work late at night and the whole cities intersection lights are blinking red. The sad part is everyone is an idiot and refuses to stop, causing some pretty nasty accidents about every other night it seems now.

Seeing the damage they do makes me want a "Root Cellar" all the more.
When I was a little kid we went up the road to the neighbors storm cellar when the weather got wild. 5 adults & 2 kids down in that tiny cellar was kinda packed, but the inconvenience was nothing compared to being "up there" with the weather. Thankfully, neither of our farms were ever hit.

We're moving some dirt & excavating where we mite put a goat pen. IF thats how it works out, they may have to be ready to Scoot Over a ways & let us huddle up in there with them if the weather gets too crazy.

How about all gathering at your local church,that should be safe. Ooops thats no good ,I mean praying to the guy that could have stopped it in the first place, is not very smart.
