...as I mentioned in the 1st page:

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

Central KY got hit again!! a few miles from work last night. We shut down and sent everyone home after round one, got home just in time to get hit by round 2. Needless to say me and the dog spent the night in the basement. I've been blessed, getting hit all around me, Caneyville, Leitchfield, Big Clifty, Boston, Toniville and Hardin County fairgrounds. I hope this is a week that never gets repeated!!!!!!

They are getting ready to open their house to the friends that need help

I understand the thing to have now is a safe room, basically a hardened closet.

Versy, My B in-law just built a new house with a safe room. It is, as you say, basically a hardened room, but kinda like the space shuttle is a big glider. I saw a piece on the Weather Channel about them. Some withstand fire, wind, earthquakes, just depends on what you need. I have a friend from Ca who says we are crazy to live here. She prefers the earthquakes--if she has a choice. Grin

I have been putting off getting a "Storm House", but I am now actively looking. The little 4 person fiberglass in-ground ones would work for me. $3000 installed. I'll be asking for donations later. Grin

Reply #42 - 04/29/11 at 20:54:46 Versy, I did see a video today of a guy with a trap door by his bed that went into a 4' culvert buried vertically about 6' tall. He lived in a mobile home. Kinda like the trash can idea, 'cause the mobile home is sure to leave. Having a "bug out" kit is a good idea.

Unless I misunderstood my weather people said we have more tornados this season than the last ten years all together. And May is supposed to be the big month in the South. Sad

Probably should be mandatory in all trailer parks.
