My grandmother stays in a retirement home in Hueytown, right between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham and right in the path of the tornado... we were worried last night, but I got a hold of my uncle who also lives down there and he said the tornado missed my grandmother by about a half mile or so.

tornados are so scary and so random...I've been through a couple as a kid in the south. The noise alone is terrifying. I've never in my life time seen anything like this though. Very sad.

Awful - genuinely is.
One good thing may come out of it though - all those morons who said the japanese quake/tsunami/meltdown was karma for pearl harbour may shut the fuck up now.

Perhaps if karma exists in such a moronic way... ... these tornadoes MUST BE karma for slavery and 'rebel south'... yes?? :)

A single tornado stayed on the ground for nearly 250 miles, sets new record for longest lasting tornado...

Not to be cynical.... but prepare for student designed tornado relief tee shirts and posters.

My first tornado when I was living in Kansas for a spell distroyed a large chunk of oklahoma city in May 1999. I was caring for 3 children as a nanny -- the daytime nanny's house across town was totally demolished by a gigantic tree (with no basement to retreat to).
Being that I am from California, my disaster training is mainly for earthquakes and floods. Definately one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. Especially with a 11 year old walking me through preparing the house to be hit. Houses swallowed whole then spit out as a scattered mess blocks and sometimes miles down the way.

I have always had this burning desire to see a tornado in person. Hopefully one that's not killing anyone and is just out in the country somewhere, but damn, to see that kind of power in person... it would be incredible.
Part of me looks at these videos and thinks that the people filming them are nuts, and part of me things "those lucky bastards."

Statistically unlikely, but I'll get out there one of these days.mikotondria3
