One news camera got pictures of this mile wide tornado that ravaged Tusculosa. I hope all of out AL TB'ers are safe. This was an F4-5 class beast that leveled a home depot. The video is unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm stoked, just moved to north eastern Texas and every day there are constant tornado warnings all over the news, accompanied by tennis ball sized hail and lightning that fills the entire sky. I miss my earthquakes.

Here's some more photo's and video. They had 138 Tornados reported tonight in AL,TN and MS with over 72 deaths reported already. And there is a lot of rubble to clear.

That Tornado (or at least the cell that produced it) started in Mississippi and tore up a line all the way across Alabama and I believe it was still taking lives in Georgia before it died out. Amazing. Good Karma and prayers go out to the families of the victims and those who lost their homes.

eek. i'm visiting friends in Athens, GA and the sirens have been going off here. Weather says Tornado warning, though it seems to be calming down.

Tell met about it. I'm an Oregonian (read: Californian) living in SW GA. I'd take an earthquake any day over tornadoes. I'd be perfectly happy to live next to a volcano again.

All arguments aside, I sure hope you and your family are well. My sister and I are going to have to check on our relatives in the Birmingham and Huntsville area today.

I usually associate the term outbreak with a sickness. In relation to the other thread on the tornadoes, I fail to see what God and his wrath have to do with it.

I drove from Jacksonville, Florida to Nacogdoches Texas on Monday. Tornadoes warnings the whole way across the entire south. Driving through Louisiana was awful.

I did. It took me to the Wrath of God thread here in OT about the tornadoes. Was that the link you are referring to?
