We now know there is no hiding from an F5.

We now know there is no hiding from an F5.

I heard a weather guy saying that same thing just the other day on TV. I guess you either gotta out run it or be in a deep bunker or missle silo to keep from getting sucked out.

No there is not. And I speak from Alabama. I am all to acquainted with our aftermath of destruction. One F4 path of destruction sits 1500 ft from a former home of mine. And I was on the outer peripheral of another smaller that same day in my current home.

Yesterday I heard that they now want to send the warnings to our cell phones. As bad as things were last month, I never want government warnings sent to my phone. Forget it. I know when to pay attention and when to take cover, as do most people in our state know to take spring storms seriously.

There were people here as hunkered down as they could be last month. Two in a closet sucked out, 1 lived, 1 died. A family in a bathroom, the sink fell on the mom and killed her, the rest survived. And I could go on. There are miraculous stories of survival too. When my time here is up, there is no warning on a cell phone that is going to save me.

Prayers up for those folks in the paths of these storms. I shake just thinking about it. I hope that I never see another day like April 27, 2011 again in my lifetime. The areas devasted will never look the same in my lifetime either. The scars will be there for a very long time.

Damn that picture looks exactly like some very vivid nightmares I have had in the past about a tornado outbreak!

I sure hope they don't come back!
