Default Pulse check: 928 Owners in the Tornado belt?

Watching the storm coverage on the Weather Channel, it looks like a severe possible tornado cell passed right over Columbus Miss, where Dean Fuller is living. Dean, you OK?

Pulse check for others in the path of this storm? Path runs from Mississippi to Pennsylvania and east tonight.

Check out this massive tornado as it dwarfs Brant-Denny stadium at the University of Alabama this afternoon at 5:15 P.M. outside of Birmingham. We will get the storms tonight in Atlanta.

Default Wow, what a night

Up late last night dodging tornados. 2 people killed about 20 miles from my house South of Atlanta, but the tornado picked up before reaching me. Blown 87 (Greg) had a tornado within miles of Sharpsburg also. Greg, is everything OK?

Scary night in VA, looks like one managed to touch down in the lake/island in the middle of my subdivision! Lot less trees there this morning.

Doing okay in Chattanooga; dodged a bullet, as Ringgold, GA (just a few miles south) was devastated. We're still without electric; will probably be so for a few days. Lots of trees down, but my street was luckily spared.
