Tornadoes

15 years ago

There are several Butterfly Forum posters who live in the general area of the horrible tornadoes of the past several days. Sue - are you out there? What about you Geni - are you in Alabama or Mexico? And Angie in north Georgia - I saw where there were tornadoes in your part of the state.

I realize that you may not have electricity, but when you can, let us know you're alright.

This has been the most and the worst tornadoes I've ever seen - and I'm old - even for north Alabama.

I saw on the National news today that Alabama had been hit very hard. I hope we hear from these members soon. A lot of people from Oklahoma are headed there to deal with the aftermath because there is a lot of experienced folks from here. I heard that some of the states do not have warning systems like we do. The NWS is located in Norman here so we get very early alerts to weather, and we have fantastic warning systems in place. I don't know how those storm chasers do it - too scary for me!

Hey, ladies, we're thinking about you! Check in when you are able.

I'm from North Alabama (Huntsville area). We just got our power restored yesterday with cable and internet services following several hours later. Some parts of Alabama will be much longer to have power.

It depends upon where you live in Alabama as to whether there are warning sirens or not....and how good the local weather people are. I'm fortunate; NWS is here in Huntville, plus all of the local TV stations vie for the 'best weather reporting' constantly.

Also fortunate to have have very little damage though the rest of the neighborhood is going to be pretty treeless for many years to come.

Words cannot even begin to describe the destruction throughout this part of the state. We've been without any kind of television since Wednesday morning (until yesterday night) and just listening to the radio has been gut wrenching. Now that we've seen the local news, it's hard to stop crying.

Do you know where Geni is from (the name of the town or city)? I can tell you what I know about the damage in her area.

I'm SO sorry about all this! We've been seeing pictures since it happened, and, having gone through hurricanes (my house was washed off its foundation with 4'-5' of water in it during Hurricane Camille in 1969) like Katrina, I certainly sympathize!
I think the damage done in Alabama is the worst I've ever seen - beyond terrible!
I don't remember where Geni or Sue live, but I'll see if I can find out.
