Goodness Ben... I hope there wasn’t any one killed. That looks to be a major storm/tornado. It’s probably headed towards us here in middle Georgia.

I would say build an ark but it would blow away.

Keep the family safe Ben.

Wholly cow that looks bad!
Living in the PNW we are pretty sheltered from storms like that...
Stay safe Ben hopefully they keep dodging your neck of the woods!!!

Damn Ben! I did a 'rounder Hazel Green to Bham and back today. 65. Flood detour at 278. ALMOST detoured coming back thru your neighborhood. Instead, hit a gun shop in Cullman and jumped back on 65. Glad I did, seeing your pics! Once again, up here where I am (now Hazel Green), we dodged the predicted bullet once again.

As always, if you know of/need clean up help after this kinda crap, let me know!

Geez! Take care, Ben.

As I've said before - scariest thing I ever saw was the skies over Huntsville during a tornado warning - and I've seen some scary sh....tuff!

Lived here/Huntsville 12 years now (this go-round). I will never get used to tornado weather. Like you, I have seen some REAL scary tornado weather. Wife (native) handles it WAY better than I do. But if/when she says it has the elements to get bad, I really get spooked.

I was only there for a year and a half, but it became a "second home" because of the amazing people I met and worked with, who all became great friends. Almost all of them are gone now. I left in '85.
