LilBeaver Posted April 28, 2011 #1 Posted April 28, 2011 I just heard from a friend of mine and then saw some pictures on the news; looks like Tuscaloosa got nailed pretty good. Luckily my friend is okay, she was not home when it ripped through but she still has not been able to get back to her house. My initial thought was that I hope that all of our members in that area are okay, and I do think that, but really - I hope that everyone else is able to pull through as best as possible...
Guest scarylarry Posted April 28, 2011 #2 Posted April 28, 2011 Let me add to this please, northern Ala. was also hit hard as well. Friend of mine parents live in Houston Ms. and they said there was a lot of damage in Ms. as well.. I pray that everyone is ok..
Sleeperhawk Posted April 28, 2011 #3 Posted April 28, 2011 Our kids are okay in the Athens/Huntsville area, but most of the place is without power. Lots of damage, that can be replaced. Most places are out of batteries and sandwiches fixings.
Guest scarylarry Posted April 28, 2011 #4 Posted April 28, 2011 I had a member here call me asking to help him find a generator in Nashville, Home Depot and Lowes are out, I was able to locate one in a mom and pop store... They are saying power could be out for 7 to 10 days...

They are saying power could be out for 7 to 10 days... I have a 5000Watt - 230Volt and a 2500Watt - 125Volt that are up for loan to any member that needs one. They have both been sitting up for a long time and will more than likely both need the tank and carb cleaned. Other than that they were working fine when I stored them. At this point, they would have to be picked up here in Richland, MS, as my pickup is not running and I would not want to put either of them inside my other vehicles. Phone # is in my profile. Walter

tazmocycle Posted April 29, 2011 #10 Posted April 29, 2011 i talk with my oldest brother a couple of times today, he works for a company that does storm damage estimates for fema and he said there was a lot of damage across several states. he lives in Or and said these storms are coming over them and racing across with a lot of power in them. looks like there's going to be a lot of them this year, usually it's may before we get this many big outbreaks. this's early. so everybody need to keep a heads up for the weather reports and pay heed to them!!
