kenw Posted February 6, 2008 #3 Posted February 6, 2008 I live north of Atlanta in a town called Acworth and the stuff is starting to blow in now! kenw:depressed:
Guindalf Posted February 6, 2008 #4 Posted February 6, 2008 I'm on business in a hotel in Dalton, GA. So far, we're fine - just a little rain - but the worst of it is about to hit. I told my boss I was staying put for another hour so the bad stuff could pass.
oldandcrotchety Posted February 6, 2008 #5 Posted February 6, 2008 I was talking to my daughter, who lives in Russellville (Ark) yesterday afternoon when i could hear sirens start to go off in the background at her place. Then I could hear her weather alert say "This is a tornado warning." She said there was a tornado on the ground about 2 miles from her house. I told her to get off the phone and seek shelter. I found out later that it missed her but got a town named Adkins next to hers where it killed several people. 14 I think, but not sure. Glad it missed her, but sad that it got others. Here at my place near Paris Ark we got very strong winds, tremendous lightning, hail and torrential downpours, but came out without any damage.
yamahamer Posted February 6, 2008 #6 Posted February 6, 2008 All Is Well Here Just Wet And Messy. We Just Hade Bad Winds And Rain. We Got Lucky!
Mariner Fan Posted February 6, 2008 #7 Posted February 6, 2008 We had some strong storms and flooding up North in Indiana as well. Sounds like yours was worse. Glad everyone is ok down there!
mini-muffin Posted February 6, 2008 #8 Posted February 6, 2008 Looks like GA and northern FL are gonna get the worst storms today. We seem to be lucky looks like just rain for us in NC. Must have broke up over the mountains. Hope everyone's ok. Margaret
Guest Popeye Posted February 6, 2008 #9 Posted February 6, 2008 I watched the weather last night. Too Weird to see tornados in Feb. Folks killed in Arkansas & Memphis, both, last I heard. Way sad. We got an Ice Storm with about 6 in of snow on top. All schools in NE KS closed. I'll go shovel my long driveway now, in case we need to leave here before Spring. I HATE SHOVELING SNOW & ICE. I thought I left that in Michigan a few years ago. My Mom lives in GA & is fine, she just wants water...or anything wet. A very strange storm.
DragonRider Posted February 6, 2008 #10 Posted February 6, 2008 Got some much needed rain here, with some wind but no damage done around here..............Prayers go out to those in Ark, Ala, and Tn, that suffered the brunt of the storm................
spear Posted February 7, 2008 #11 Posted February 7, 2008 Hey y'all up there in the good old U S of A. Been watching the news tonight about the tornados in TN etc. Man - what an unholy mess. I hope y'all and yours are okay. I know it's all over for now - just hope you don't get a re-run. I wish I was closer (with no water in between) so I could ride in and give y'all a hand if you needed it. Prayers, love and light to those who need it.
Guest Popeye Posted February 7, 2008 #12 Posted February 7, 2008 My wife told me 46 folks killed in that storm over 2 days??? I pray that number is very wrong. Just like tornados in Feb are just wrong.
1BigDog Posted February 7, 2008 #14 Posted February 7, 2008 Looks like GA and northern FL are gonna get the worst storms today. We seem to be lucky looks like just rain for us in NC. Must have broke up over the mountains. Hope everyone's ok. Margaret We didnt even get any rain here. Sorry for those folks who lost their lives in those storms.
mini-muffin Posted February 8, 2008 #15 Posted February 8, 2008 We didn't get any rain either. Just some wind. Could have really used some rain. Margaret
Gambler Posted February 8, 2008 #16 Posted February 8, 2008 Glad everyone is safe , U made the newspaper up here Stay safe Gambler
Guest tessa c2 Posted February 8, 2008 #17 Posted February 8, 2008 Glad to hear that most of you are okay, the wind can do a lot of dammage, no matter where you live, i still say wind is the worst type of storm one could have,
