Re: Alabama Tornados
On my road, not so much as a leaf or branch down. Four miles to the north, there are huge commercial buildings wiped away! A tornado touched down about 8 miles to the west, it's first victim was the home of friends I have attended church with for 10 years. They heard odd sounds, hid in an inner closet. When they came out, about 75% of the house was gone. The storm stayed on the ground for over 12 miles, and again, it came thru about four miles north of my house, and about 1 mile north of the office.
I rode thru there just now, one RV dealer lost every RV on the lot - none escaped damage, two were piled on each other (these are 40 to 50 foot motor homes).
Across the street, the Shell station was reduced to rubble about 4 feet high. Behind it, was a mobile home park, only about 8 or 10 trailers. Nothing is left, they think 3 died there.
NEXT DOOR is ANOTHER mobile home park, 6 or 8 trailers there - one trailer was crushed when a tree fell on it, no other trailers were damaged. Less than 200 feet separates the two trailer parks!
In the middle of a destroyed lift truck place, a destroyed RV dealership, a destroyed Gas Station, etc. Sat the post office. A brick building with minimal windows. It lost some shingles off the roof - no other damage.
If you see any of this on the news, I'm in Spalding county, GA.
