So after being in the thread for a short time last night and seeing and trying to read the 50+ pages, I felt we needed a thread, to just check-in and make sure you and your family are okay. With the actual conversation kept at a minimum. Or if you know any others on the board made it through unscathed, please let us know. This way we don’t need to filter through 50 + pages.
Also, if anybody needs any assistance, anything, please let someone know and don’t hesitate to ask. Maybe someone can help you check on a friend or family member more local to them and let you know at least their area is okay.
Flesh, I hope and pray your brother made it to your dad and all is well.
I have included a few links as well for any that may need assistance or want to help donate their time and or money.

RollTideMJ checking in.
My cable went out and couldn't find a radio yesterday about the time the tornado was hitting T-town. I had to switch to 3G network on my iphone and so the severe weather thread was my only way of knowing what was going on. I really want to thank everyone that were my eyes and ears and telling me what was going on. It was a scarey feeling not having any type of communication on where it was and where it was headed.

We are good. My brother in Tuscaloosa is safe as well. My Aunt's condo in Tuscaloosa was ravaged, though.

Thank you for the links to make a donation since it's probably all I can do from here.
I hope you are all safe and my thoughts and prayers to those who lost family members, friends, and homes.

Are there any posters that havent been heard from yet?
I've read on a couple other boards that there are UA students dead/missing. Bama's LS girlfriend is one of them?

I'll bet lots of our guys and gals are without power still this morning. Almost the entire county I live in is without it but I got lucky. Hope all are well.

The natural landscape where I live has protected us so far from these storms.I know lots of folks not so lucky and my Prayers go out to them.

Thanks man. They got the tree off him around midnight. Took him to the Piggy Wiggly parking lot and from there an ambulance got him to the hospital. Crushed hip and they're worried about lack of circulation as the tree was on him for 6+ hours. The expectations are that he'll be ok long term.
Have a cousin in Moody who got three elderly people out of a demolished home and waited with them until EMS got there. That was around 8pm. A cop who knows him told his wife he was going back to look for others. He hasn't been heard from since.
I sincerely appreciate all the prayers. I believe they made a difference.
ETA: Cousin is in the hospital. Sheriff is saying he helped save 16 people. Kid is a straight up hero.

I stared death in the face yesterday @ 4:30 PM... Never again will I be caught out in the open near one of those things and I thank God for keeping me safe...
Posted on 4/28/11 at 9:10 am to Luke

Posted on 4/28/11 at 9:12 am to Luke

Posted on 4/28/11 at 9:23 am to NYCAuburn

We got hit with bad weather here in Knoxville. Strong winds, hail, and poured down rain. Was a frightening experience.
Prayers for the people who aren't so lucky.
