LOL, we got a taste of it last night here in Atlanta... all the trees I've seen are still standing - though a construction sign (the big ply-wood type listing who's building and what they're building) was folded in half and on the wrong side of the street. It's been that erie calm today so far too.... and me with a PCA meeting tonight.

That bad boy hit Ohio last night. Many tornados, one an F4. Messed things up all over the midwest.

Ouch! the straps on my car cover already ripped once from howling winds. I’m waiting for one big gust to lift under the cover and fly my car away, like a big parachute.

A massive Tornado outbreak happened yesterday, which has shattered the general quiet on the severe storm front (as least for major events).

In Alabama, around ten people died and 50 or so were injured. Mainly in Walker county on the north side where 9 of the 10 died. In Georgia, four were injured in Pickens County north past Atlanta. In Illinois no damage, but some sighted tornadoes. Indiana had 3 people who were injured when a grocery store partially collapsed.

In Kentucky, damage was reported, but no injuries or deaths. Louisana had more rain on top of the storms earlier in the season. In Lowndes county in eastern Missisiippi, one person was killed and nearly 30 were hurt.
Storms in the mountains of North Carolina knocked out power to many places. Ohio sufered the deaths of 5 and 21 people were injured mostly in Van Wert County. Pennsylvania had one man killed with 19 injured along the western edge fof the state. South Carolina had one reported tornado in Greenwood county. Tennessee had 16 dead, and 55 injured near Mossy Grove in the eastern side of the state. 45 people remain missing. 6 trailers were destroyed in West Virginia.

We had just one real quick power drop-out this morning about 6 AM... just enough to trip all the GFI's in the house. Otherwise, no damage beyond leaf-clogged gutters on the house. Lots of wind, some thunder & lightening.

But mornings like this are a big part of why I bought that Subaru.

Jim, much sopund & fury, signifying nothing...

Alert was out from Viginia to the top of Florida. Now just South Carolina and the top of Georgia.

Still doesn't look good:

What the Hell is that????

I was wondering why the clouds were green today. I figured it was just normal, crappy New England weather!

Yeah, we got a taste of that this morning. I was late for work because our power went out so no alarm clock. Looks like there may be more to come. I have the 951 in the garage just in case

it smacked Atlanta last night at 3 a.m. The tornado sirens went off twice and it just seemed like a bad lightning storm although the news was saying tornados could be anywhere...
Were just glad all the P-cars are unharmed (although the cover on one was blown down the driveway, and you can hardly see the street with all the pine needles and debris covering it) all's well
