PigSooie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Last night was wild. I missed the tornado by less than a mile. Things are bad here, but we won't know how bad until the sun comes out. Thankfully, I just lost my fence. Here are few photos I took before I got my ass in the bathroom. This is a span of less than 5 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

j4lackey Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Holy shit, Sooie! Glad you're okay. We spent part of the night in the pantry under the stairs (no basement) with cranky teenagers and a neurotic old dog (no, I don't mean me ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i'm glad your neighbors reset the router. That was making me very nervous. They didn't, yet! I'm at work now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 They didn't, yet! I'm at work now.maybe someone should call them and let them know that they need to "discharge" the electricity of any peripheral appliances, such as cable boxes and routers, and switch them back on. it is a safety thing and keeps tornados from seeking the built up static.

j4lackey Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Anybody heard from E-Sue? Doesn't she live in KY?She lives here, and outside of a lot of wind damage, there didn't seem to be storm-related injuries, so I'm sure she's fine and will check in soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Here's video of the Southaven/Memphis tornado. Watch the "Hilton Tower Cam Catches Funnel..." flash video. http://wreg.com/ Warning: the audio is kind of loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm glad to hear everyone is ok. There was another round of 80 mph straight-line winds just north of here last night, but no tornadoes. Let's hope the worst is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoodoo Man Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just missed meeting the Southaven tornado in person. I was driving home from work and was about 5 minutes ahead going through the intersection where it hit hardest and destroyed a warehouse. As I got to the Southaven exit, I could see the storm moving in from the west, then had it in my rearview mirror all the way home. We were very fortunate. No damage at all. Just 2 hours in the closet under the stairs with 2 adults, 3 kids and a dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
