Last Night's Severe Weather

[la_samtyr]

I am hoping that those of you on my flist, who live or have family/friends in the area(s) affected by the severe weather are all safe and well.

It seems that the Tuscaloosa tornado was more personal than I thought; it seems that my cousin Kristy has (had?) a house there. A tree fell on their house but luckily everyone made it into the basement safely. (Her daughter Amanda went to university there and lived there for six years, yet she can hardly recognize anything at all from the pictures.) More than that, I don't know -- but the news certainly looks grim. I will post more when I learn it.

This has all made me think of my cousin Donna(tm) even more than usual; she was always so frightened of tornadoes, and she was so thankful she lived in NC "because we never get that kind of weather here." And it looks like the severe weather is heading for NC even now.

Back later on.

Oh yes, it's simply awful. I've been through several bad storms myself and my heart just breaks for those poor people. :(
