Everybody good? My brother in law and his family got by with minimal damage this time. He lost his house two years ago after direct hit by a smaller tornado. Y'all check in |

Passed about a mile and a half of me at Amory. Got branches and minor debris from inflow/wind gusts. It was even closer to my Mom, aunt and two sisters but all mine are fine and well. Amory and surrounding area is jacked up. Two fatalities in Wren (a small community a few miles away) but none in Amory itself. Spent several hours clearing downed trees at a day care. The owner's husband got discharged from the hospital yesterday morning and is wearing a heart monitor. It was waaaay more than he could have handled anyway. Several of us ran saws and drug brush. Still more to do but we did a lot today. That was kind of personal as my granddaughter used to attend there before they moved to a different town. Amory is under a boil water notice but my family all have power except one sister but she and her husband own a small cabin not far away so they're staying there. It was F3 strength when it hit. Rolling Fork, MS was not so lucky. That had to be an F5. There's drone footage on Youtube for both towns if you to compare. Too tired to post it right now. |

I'm south of the tornado's path; so we got no damage. But it wreaked havoc in some small towns. Check out the video and read down through the text: Link |

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

| Glad to hear good news out of y'all. I've never been close to a tornado and cross my fingers to stay that way. I can handle a major hurricane. But a tornado scares the shit out of me |

But a tornado scares the shit out of me I've been close enough to one to hear it. Everyone says it sounds like a freight train but to me it sounded like a jet engine at low power. Yeah it's freaky. |

The connex box at the shoothouse was found like a half mile away. |
