Guindalf Posted February 6, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2008 I'm on business in a hotel in Dalton, GA. So far, we're fine - just a little rain - but the worst of it is about to hit. I told my boss I was staying put for another hour so the bad stuff could pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandcrotchety Posted February 6, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 6, 2008 I was talking to my daughter, who lives in Russellville (Ark) yesterday afternoon when i could hear sirens start to go off in the background at her place. Then I could hear her weather alert say "This is a tornado warning." She said there was a tornado on the ground about 2 miles from her house. I told her to get off the phone and seek shelter. I found out later that it missed her but got a town named Adkins next to hers where it killed several people. 14 I think, but not sure. Glad it missed her, but sad that it got others. Here at my place near Paris Ark we got very strong winds, tremendous lightning, hail and torrential downpours, but came out without any damage.

Mariner Fan Posted February 6, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2008 We had some strong storms and flooding up North in Indiana as well. Sounds like yours was worse. Glad everyone is ok down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 6, 2008 Looks like GA and northern FL are gonna get the worst storms today. We seem to be lucky looks like just rain for us in NC. Must have broke up over the mountains. Hope everyone's ok. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Popeye Posted February 6, 2008 Share #9 Posted February 6, 2008 I watched the weather last night. Too Weird to see tornados in Feb. Folks killed in Arkansas & Memphis, both, last I heard. Way sad. We got an Ice Storm with about 6 in of snow on top. All schools in NE KS closed. I'll go shovel my long driveway now, in case we need to leave here before Spring. I HATE SHOVELING SNOW & ICE. I thought I left that in Michigan a few years ago. My Mom lives in GA & is fine, she just wants water...or anything wet. A very strange storm.

spear Posted February 7, 2008 Share #11 Posted February 7, 2008 Hey y'all up there in the good old U S of A. Been watching the news tonight about the tornados in TN etc. Man - what an unholy mess. I hope y'all and yours are okay. I know it's all over for now - just hope you don't get a re-run. I wish I was closer (with no water in between) so I could ride in and give y'all a hand if you needed it. Prayers, love and light to those who need it.

Guest Popeye Posted February 7, 2008 Share #12 Posted February 7, 2008 My wife told me 46 folks killed in that storm over 2 days??? I pray that number is very wrong. Just like tornados in Feb are just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
