Strongest room of house and a bike, football or motorcycle on if you have one.

Wishing you much good luck!

because you're in the safest spot in your house while the tornado stays over fields and leaves you alone.

Stay as safe as possible!

get the cushions off the couch, bring pillows and blankets, water, flashlight, candles, etc. I lived in Memphis for years and had tornados come right down my street. Listen to your news/weather forecaster and stay SAFE.

You are in my thoughts, take care!
Annette (now in Orlando..)

that you made it through safely.

Good luck!
And get off DU!
Report back when you are safe and sound.

YES INDEED

Nothing but gentle rain now with sirens in the distance. Thanks to all!

Yay!

Takes time to get over the rush

And the best of luck!

Apparently it all passed south of us

I know on a phone can be a pain

and hell, I'm not much farther South on the Coast.

Prayers, hopes and best wishes to you, Rowdyboy and to my family members and other family members of DUers right smack in the middle of this.

All my friends in Tupelo are okay but the best damn pizzeria in the state was destroyed-Vanelli's. I know the brothers that run it-six weeks from now they'll be back in business.

My family was back in business six weeks after Katrina - and they work in heavy industries.

More serious than your average hell on earth. Hell we had 100 mile per hour winds here and I'm 2 1/2 hours inland! I can't imagine the nightmare the coast must have been.

The rescuers need lights. If you have extra batteries and flashlights, take them down to the scene. Glad to hear you are OK.

Want to make sure you are safe and ok

but I am so worried about my cousin with his wife and new baby (and son) I could scream. I can't get any information. My Uncle and his wife are there along with my other cousin and her husband.

God I sound like a redneck. I love my family, and we are firm Southerners, but one owns liberal radio stations, one is a physician, one is attempting to start a community agricultural area and one is a weirdo that does all three but is in IT.

I got locked out of the thread because I was mocked and simply pointed to a person's signature. Mocking people in a disaster is a lesser crime than pointing out that a person's signature might tell them something while the MOCKED people in a natural disaster?

Part II comes through tomorrow. But so far so good for my household. Unfortunately a lot of folks weren't so lucky.

Thanks!

My thoughts are with you!

Thanks

Those batteries can go down to zip when you're using the cellphone a lot.

Stay safe and keep us posted

you are not alone

And it is much appreciated.

Its gonna be bad again today but we're just outside the danger area so hopefully there'll be a lot less drama.

Thanks for asking. DU has a wonderful ability to drop arguments and come together to support each other in times of crisis. The support meant a lot to me.
