I talked to Shirley on my way in to work and he's without power but is fine. He said that the tornado went about a half a mile west of his house and that there is not much left standing over there. He didn't go in to work today because at the time he didn't know if he had any damage or not, but once daylight broke he saw that everything was ok at his place. But he went out driving around in the community to see if anybody needed help and was just floored by what he saw. I also talked to Kari and she's fine too. The storm went east of her, but she said her husband heard it go over.

The news was just beginning to show some reports when I had to head in to work so I haven't seen any of it, but here's some links to a local news station that has some video and photo galleries of the storm damage. I can't look at them here at work so I've got no idea what they may be showing...

4 killed in Ala. as storms damage homes, down trees

They’re showing extensive damage on TV now. Bad scene.

Glad you and yours are alright. Are you sure your place where the horses are is OK too?

That first link I posted didn't have all the other video links on it that I thought it did, so here's another one...

Deaths reported in Lawrence and Jackson counties

Lawrence County is where I live. Shirley lives just south of the town of Moulton, and the Forest where we ride is south of there too. I'll bet our trails are really in a mess.
