Tornadoes in the southern US last night

Tornadoes swept across six southern states overnight. Fifty dead so far  :(

I hope all our members from the affected states are okay.

I saw that, I hope all is well, we’re suppose to get high winds up to 50mph today but nothing like tornados!

I hadn't heard that.  Terrible news indeed.  I've been through tornadoes and it can be very bad.

I hope all ofnour members and their loved ones are okay.

Never seen one in person, but seen enough movies! When I first met the Mrs it was the first movie we watched with takeout from a bar (the best chicken tenders and fires) but then after a few years the kid saw it and ended up having to watch it once a day if not sometimes twice a day! EVERY SINGLE DAY! He had every freaking word memorized, drove the Mrs nuts cause I was still working at the time, he he,, but come days off if we weren’t doing anything of course the kid had to watch the movie ahhh :ahhh

December tornadoes are unusual, but tornadoes can happen at any time.  I hope everyone is alright.

  Read that an Amazon Warehouse collapsed in Illinois with 100 workers inside. :(  The title of the story changed, so edited this.

I was wondering how you were up north, I could have sworn we had a little bit of a light flicker but other then that, I think the high winds cleaned the leafs off the yard :whistle:

Great to hear Poncho.  I can't imagine how scary that was for everyone.  200 miles of terror.

Just saw the news on weather channel this morning. Absolutely devastating in KY. Just how fragile a human life is and whatever you work whole life can get wiped out overnight.

I will go dig a hole and bury my knife collection in the basement, John Wick's style  :salute:

I'm sorta on the Detroit-Redford border, so not exactly "up north." We did get some flickering of the lights and a few little things blown around, but all is largely okay.

Saw the images of the devastation. Impressive. Seems this is happening more and more and in diferent places.

Near Rome, this was on for 15min.
