Glad to hear from folks in that part of the country. Living in a hurricane prone area I know how difficult it is to go through natural disasters. Thanks for checking in guys.

I'm fine. We were very blessed in that it missed us. We got one strong storm with wind, rain and hail, but it was very short lived with no tornadoes.

The news is reporting 16 tornadoes touched down in the state yesterday.
This all started about 4:00pm yesterday. Atkins got hit really bad. Clinton also.

The news was saying the last time we had storms this deadly was in 1999.
We have had storms with more tornadoes, but they didn't cause the destruction and deaths like these did.

It was crazy in this house last night.
The tornadoes had me on edge. THen the reports started coming in. It was non stop coverage from 4pm to 11pm of weather.

I was so nervous and upset. Then the phone rings and it's my nephew asking me if I am ready to be a Great Aunt.
OMG, I was so excited and happy. The doctors told them they would never get pregnant. She's 7 weeks along.

Then the death tolls started coming in and pictures of the destruction. So I was back down.

My electric had gone out while talking to my nephew, so I lost the phone connection. DH called him back. Then I was all excited again.

DH called to check on his parents. While on the phone with them, they tell him that his Aunt called and her husband had left her again. This is the most sweetest woman in the world. She is completely devestated.

So then I was back down again and worried about the Aunt.

By the time I went to bed, I had a horrible sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Unable to sleep because of WAY too much going on.

Got up this morning to see all the destruction in the other states. It is so sad.

Kay, I'm glad your daughter was ok. I was glad my family was all home last night. I'm with you. I hate storms. I am scared to death of them.
I want a storm shelter soooooo bad.

DAY

Day,
I live in a moble home so I get pretty freaked out and often go next door to my MIL's basment if it gets to bad........but last night when the wind was blowing so hard and the hail hit I was afraid to go next door and not be here if Sissy called......I just wanted to go get her and make sure she was home safe with me...........

She called from school and said the roof of one of the outter buildings was blown off into a nearby field....it happend last night while they were all in the basment of the gym and no one even knew it until daylight this morning........

God was watching out for them............

We are having a major blizzard right now. I live on a major hwy and you can't even see where the road is. Hope everyone is safe AND

SPRING!!! Please hurry!!!!

I hope everyone is ok. Been watching the news.

In central Ohio. We have a flood watch due to rain and warm weather. It's supposed to change tonight into snow, which probably means ice tomorrow.

sending lots of prayers.

i'm in the dfw area. it missed us, besides some hail. the temperature went from the 70's to the 30's.

here is the weather channel website:

We are under a Tornado Watch until 1400 this afternoon. It was raining quite heavily before, but has subsided for now. I had so much to do today as it is my day off, but I don't want to be out in this weather. I hope everyone else in the storm's path is well protected and will continue to check in. My husband said not to be surprised if we lost electricity at some point, so I may not be able to check in later due to fallen phone lines (we have DSL).

Stay safe, you lot!

I'm watching the news right now---OMG!!! What on earth is going on? I've never lived in tornado country, but.....isn't it too soon for tornados? I thought tornados were a 'spring' type storm???

Global warming? I know we are doing our part here to help stop it (-10 right now) but not helping!!! These terrible storms over the past few years (earthquakes and tsunami's too) are scary!!!

I know we are overdue for a big earthquake....

Prayers and hugs for all my southern friends!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!! Huge drop in temp!!!!!

it was in the 80's the day before that.

totally nuts huh?
