Storm Roll Call
« on: May 25, 2011, 07:41:27 AM »
As the tornadoes and other crap roll through the midwest I know that we have some members close to the paths.  Is everyone safe and sound with roofs still overhead?

Made it through ok here.

We had a tornado watch and reportedly some sightings in the four SW counties of Ohio.  The watch lasted several hours and was filled with continuous severe thunderstorms.  

There was only light damage in my area, with some broken tree limbs, but 89,000 folks were left without power....a very minor event compared to what the Joplin folks experienced.

No matter how advanced our technology becomes; no matter what "walls" we erect to protect us from Nature, the World is still a snarling beast capable of incredible destruction and devastation.

Liable to be SOME time before we hear from them if affected.  Can't think of anyone on here from KS off the top of my head...  

A company I used to work for had a branch in Joplin.  They were all really good people.  Shame to see this happen.

UGH OH!   :(

We all accept our risks I guess.  Directly 1 mile East of me is a sign on the beach saying "Hurricane Zone".   :-\  

WORTH IT.   ;)

True enough, We get Blizzards, and Ice storms up here, but at least they are relatively quiet.   ;D

We have family around the M's, and haven't heard of much there.  Son-In-Law is near Oklahoma City on work this month, and it was a heart stopping moment when the phone rang last night and the daughter's ID came up.  At that point she had heard nothing, and was expecting a call later.

I was on the phone with businesses that I deal with in both Joplin and Minneapolis on Monday morning.  They all were spared, but the folks in Joplin were running their butts off, and are bracing for a nasty couple of weeks.

Made it thru last night. We had a tornado on the ground west of us and 2 wall clouds with rotation to the east, no serious damage.
Hope everyone else is alright.
