Tornado hits my neck of the woods

From what kinda damage we took the other day with the two hundred and something mph winds, I just wanted to let each and every one of you know that everyone that I know and I are all okay.


My college campus...., well.....that's another story.... :o

hey Mars-chan! I live in Nashville Too :D

I watchet two tornadoes go past my work yesterday. Scary!!! (I work pretty close to Gallatin and Hendersonville (two more exits and there i was!)

And then, last night about 10:30, two hit in Huntsville, AL near my parents home...what a crazy night!

But, we're all ok too :)

So you know about the chaos then?

Good to hear you're okay! :D

I slept through a tornado in Texas. It came in the middle of the night. I was upstairs sleeping. I heard it coming....tornadoes sound like freight trains.

Ah twisters...those were the days in tornado ally...my best friend's mother panicking cuz a bunch were coming, my mom trying to comfort her, and all us kids playing in the hallway with the dog without a care in the world. :P

My dad once witnessed a twister touch down on the Air Force Base (Reece AFB near Lubbock) and destroy a shack. He laughed about it when he came home. :roll:

Never did sleep thru the tornadoes when I lived in Texas (20 years ago...gah I feel old). But I've slept thru earthquakes. *lol*

I just found out that it may be two weeks before we the students know if we can go back to class or not.


Great...just great.... :sweatdro:

I am a native to Texas (born and raised). I have slept through a hurricane (Hurricane Alicia of 1983) and witnessed 4 others. While I was in college in Colorado, I have witnessed 2 blizzards.

Hurricanes! There's weather i have never seen. I mean, I guess occasionally one will still be a tropical storm when it comes through here (Andrew, Ivan and Katrina come to immediate mind.)

I've been in an earthquake...several actually. (you'd be surprised at the frequency of those things in Alabama and Tennessee.) The biggest was when i was visiting my cousins in California...I couldn't believe how the ground could move like that!

The biggest Tornado was in 1989 in Huntsville. It took out a busy commercial area at rush hour. I was at ground zero. It was an F5 (the biggest possible tornado) 1.5 miles wide...when it had passed we came out of the debris and saw cars in trees and people opening the car doors thinking they were on the ground. There was bits of buildings and other things everywhere. Then it started to snow. It was very surreal. I'll never forget it as long as i live

**UPDATE!!!!!!!!!**

Well, I'm going back to school tomorrow, which is kinda nice in some ways, in others, I'll see just how much damage the school *REALLY* took...

:sweatdro: I don't think I'm ready to go back quite yet..
