Pholy and Astranger, y'all take care and don't turn your back on these storms. They are blazing fast and form in the blink of an eye. Keep us posted!
I slept late (8:00am!
). Now watching TV while drinking my coffee. The storm damages now in the light of a bright beautiful day are pretty sobering. Seven Alabamians are dead so far, another seven injured. The damages to properties and vehicles is still being counted. The Governor is declaring the state a disaster area, so that clears the way for FEMA to come in and help.
The tailgaters at all of the event venues seem to have been missed by the storms. That's the thing with tornadoes vs hurricanes is they are fast and bounce, so it is very random who they touch down on.
I feel very blessed to have been spared.
