Tornadoes, tornadoes everywhere.

I've been checking in on my friends back home n in Alabama. Thankfully everyone is safe

watch your a$$ man, they can be cool to watch when they are in the middle of nowhere, it isn't so cool when they hit population. Been there, done that. NOT doing it tomorrow! I was in a truck that was actually picked up 2-3 feet off the ground and set back down....not fun, and we were parked under a highway overpass.

Yeah luckily they stayed north of us today, but Southern Indy got it bad. We watched it unfold this afternoon, and if the destruction wasn't bad enough to see, there was one report of a baby between 2 and 3 found in a field pretty banged up, and they still don't know where the parents are or even where the baby is from. They have confirmed 4 casualties so far....

Keep those that got hit today in your prayers....

Just an update....The parents called in and the little girl is back with her parents now...they announced it after I posted...

The county I live it was hit pretty hard. No reports of tornadoes, to my knowledge. One of the neighboring counties lost it's Courthouse, FD, Ambulance Service and hospital. Rumors of multiple casualties. We've sent two EMS units to help with the retrieval and clean-up. I've been trying for hours to contact my wife, who's at her parent's house, but land lines and cell service are down. Wish me the best, brothers...

You got it dood. be careful over there.

Toombes:

Thanks, wolf. The storms have passed for now, but still no luck with communication...

We'll be prayin for you bro...

Hope all goes well for you in tornado country. We are getting a major snow storm and expeting it to turn to freezing rain before it's all over. Expecting a couple feet of snow first. Like the snow, but I have been way to close to a few tornadoes in the past.....scary stuff.

I made the mistake of looking at pictures of the devastation left by the storms. As an emergency responder, I feel an instant need to rush off and help whoever I can in such a situation. I truly feel blessed to have been missed by the storms, even though the city I live in was hit with severe hail damage. All of these survivors and the families who lost loved ones will be in my prayers for a very long time. And, yes, I was concerned about my fellow BoTL's who live in the areas hit by the storms and it gladdens my heart to know that everyone seems to have made it through unharmed.

Just got an update from my brother-in-law. Campton received major hail damage, including my wife's new car. Aside from those damages, everyone is ok. I appreciate the prayers and good vibes sent my way from my fellow BoTL.

Glad to hear everyone madeit through ok. Still waiting on ok'd from a couple of folks

Thanks, brother. Hoping everything turns out ok for you.

My thoughts are with anyone who is dealing with these storms. Hope all settles down real soon.

Just imagine how bad it's gonna get when "storm season" actually hits...

I used to HATE Mother's Day when I was stationed at Fort Knox. I think tornadoes hit on Mother's Day for three years straight.
