Alabama, including my home county, was hit hard by tornadoes last night, but the rough stuff went north of me. All of my family has checked in, but there were fatalities in the county and in Alabama. I haven’t seen any full writeups on the damage yet, just facebook chatter, but at least it’s over. I couldn’t exactly read last night, so I divided my time between listening to weather and watching Joe Pickett on Paramount Plus.
And some twister humor!

Good to hear that you & yours are safe. From the BBC reporting it was pretty bad all over.
I’m just staggered that of all the farmland and pine forest in Plantersville, the tornados decided to destroy the two roads that had people living in them. I’m told my old high school was also hit, but reports are contradictory and I don’t want to check it out myself because emergency services need space to work .
Glad to hear you and your family escaped the worst of it! I remember those pictures from years past you posted.
Plantersville, which is this blink and you’ll miss it village 20 miles north of me, was devastated. Fortunately my sister and one of my best friends were taking shelter at the time. The bestie’s road was devestated but she and her fella’s home was spared. They were also in a storm cellar.
I am so happy to hear that you and your family are safe! ❤️ Sorry to hear about the deaths in the county and other areas of the state though, that’s scary stuff for sure!
“You know I can’t watch storms sober” made me laugh. and ‘Don’t think I won’t take your red crocs’ too🤣
Love Charlie Berens!
We’ve had two confirmed deaths in Dallas. It’s strange to me that a tornado could rip Selma apart with no fatalities and then hit a very rural village with 2, but that may be the day/night difference. Selma was hit around noon, Plantersville was hit between 9-10 pm.
I think his face seems familiar from the internet in general but I could not have told you his name!
Oh gosh that’s so horrible! Tornadoes seem to have a life of their own that way 😦 I would have thought it would have lost strength by the night but then again I don’t know much about tornadoes.
