Arrow East coast members please check in from the storms
I just talked with Renee (afwifeRM) and she told me several tornados have gone through their area. Her family is OK but they had to take cover under the stairs twice.

If you are in or around this weather system, please check in and let us know your OK. I believe Greta and Mike are close to the area and hopefully they will check in.

I searched and searched for Greta's telephone number that she gave me while hubby was in hospital to no avail, I think my mom threw it out! I do know that Greta's town did sustain some damage,however have no idea what area she is in. The people in suffolk, Virginia seemed to have taken the hardest hit, with over 200 injured so far and many homes leveled.

As Sandy stated we were under the stairs twice but thankfully came thru without problems a few broken branches but nothing compared to the devastation 20 miles down the road.

My Prayers are with everyone!

Oh darnit, I don't have the PM anymore Renee. I am sorry. Hopefully someone will come on that knows and will call her. I am watching the video of the damage now.

I asked Putterfit to contact you if he is able to. He may have the number you are looking for.

I too hope everyone in Virginia that visits here on Neurotalk is okay.

Exclamation
Mike R. (Putterfit) said he just spoke to Greta and she was away; just returned. She is fine.

Just fine and dandy Bumpy ride in on the descent though! Had no idea there was any bad weather till I turned on the radio.

Was in ATL since last week - had a great time but it's nice to be home!

Thanks for checking on all of us!

Thanks Greta! Renee and I were gabbing away on the phone and when she hung up she was surrounded by tornados! Scary!

Wow. I had no idea it was so bad. We usually avoid them around here. Scary stuff. Glad to hear she's ok and back out from underneath the stairs now!

Well I for one am glad you are all OK. I couldn't believe it when renee called me. I immediately put the weather channel on and kept it there until 9pm my time.
