We have a few more hours of this. There are deaths reported all over as well. Some low lying areas are predicted to have flooding up to 10 feet of water through Friday. There are probably many Cute followers in North Alabama. Stay safe.
No embroidery for me today. I don't dare turn on either machine with all the power blinks, etc. Just not worth the risk even though I have surge protectors and battery backups. Of course, any time I can't do embroidery there are several things I think of that I want to do. I can't do much but watch storm coverage on the television next to my computer screen. TVA just cut their power feed to the entire area of Madison Co. (Huntsville area) due to damage to TVA. The TV stations are operating on generators. They just reported that the entire town of Phil Campbell is leveled. This is terrible.
Keep us in your prayers.

I live in Macon, the middle of Georgia, and was just looking at the weather radar. The storms haven't gotten to us yet, but they are calling for high winds and severe thunderstorms. It has been windy, but sunny most of the day. The wind is picking up at the moment, and getting cloudy, so the storm is coming my way. It looked rather severe through North Ala. and into Tenn.
I have a brother who lives in Sulligent, Ala., so I need to check on him. Stay safe, and hope it is all over and clear for you on the tornados very soon!

I try hard to live as the Lord directs me and so far he has watched over us. I hope it continues. Thanks for the prayers.

Thanks for the prayers.

I heard the hospital got hit but was OK.
My sister is in the base near ST Louis Airport and the tornados that hit in that area had her in the bathtub for cover but she is okay.
I pray you and other cuties will be okay too!

Stay safe, we had one in northern ohio, just 20min.
Havent heard the damage, since we dont have many local news stations since the digital changeover.
As it happens, I felt impelled to check doppler radar where my daughter lives today. About 5 mins into my research, my daughter called and asked me how close the tornado was.... somehow, she also knew I was on top of her situation. Bottom line, that tornado has passed and she and the kids are fine... scary stuff.
We live over 350 miles away from them.
had very high winds all day and a little rain.
*4u!

This has been record setting. The death toll well over 200 now in AL. Madison Co. (Huntsville area) won't receive any power from TVA for days, maybe weeks because of so much damage. Dusk to dawn curfew for the whole county. All rural roads are completely closed. The Governor sent over 2000 National Guard troops to help the worst hit areas.
About 45 minutes south of me the towns of Hackleburg, Phil Campbell & Mt. Hope are all leveled. The area between Hackleburg & Phil Campbell is completely closed and a massive search is underway for possible survivors and bodies. Deaths are rising by the minute, 27 in Hackleburg & over 20 in Phil Campbell. Only rescue and assistance personnel are allowed in the 2 areas.
There is one female U of A student still missing in Tuscaloosa. Many missing over the entire northern half of the state so the death toll could easily go much higher.
All the hospital emergency rooms are overwhelmed. Many very serious injuries in addition to the deaths.
Just announced on a Huntsville station that a large caravan of ambulances, troopers, etc are headed up I65 from South Alabama to North Alabama to help.
I am so stunned by all that has happened to some people yesterday. In all my years I have never seen anything to compare to it. We often see localized damage from large tornadoes but this is so widespread that it is unbelievable. So many states involved too. They are saying Alabama is the worst but certainly not alone.
I pray for all those affected. My household is truly one of the blessed this morning.
Stay safe Cuties.

I have too many loved ones down there.

I saw just today on the weather that the month of May could be just as bad because of the ocean warming. I usually love the month of May. I have a b'day, mother's day and a holiday in one month and 2 of my grandsons usually come for extended visits in May because school is out. I find that I am already dreading May because of the expected turbulent weather.
Please stay safe.

I forgot to say that I'm from Rainsville, Al. in Dekalb county, where there were 35 people killed.
