Hai hon. I know.. it's from central Bama all the way north. Still not that much out of Huntsville and Madison county yet either. The Shoal Creek area in Ashville, I'm real familiar with, have some customers right off that road, I'll be passing by there next time I go out. Hope you had a decent day today and got some rest.

We had 3 trucks...all of them scattered around in the parking lot.

My Car...




The iron mattress rack saved our lives...

It was crazy. I just made it to that spot when it hit. Had I had 4.5 speed instead of 4.3, I would have been pelted my a front load washer. Good thing i'm fast...

I bet that 4.3 was even faster. It's amazing, good, but amazing that yall went to the spot that you ended having to go to to come out unhurt.

Oh my goodness. I am so glad you are ok. That is so so scary. I probably would have had a heart attack.

Miss you too, uber goober.

Hunter, Im guessing it is people from nearby counties without power. I went to a donation center to drop off some stuff and traffic was horible. Lots of different tags from different parts of the state.
