    the storm is here. It is raining like cats and dogs right now. Absolute waves of water coming down. Not good for rescue efforts.

    HOLY SHIT! I've never seen such devastation in populated area like this. My house suffered no damage the tornado was just south of us. the damage is from 15th street to 32nd street about 6 miles long. From the west side of town to the east.

    Thinking and praying for all the people in Miss.

    My wife's cousin lives in Monet, which is about 30 minutes away and she said she could hear the tornado and thought it was much closer than 30 minutes... Power kept going out but luckily her family came out unscathed...

    I think, the news said if the count goes over 90, it will be the most devastating Single tornado since June of '53

    My neighbors great grandparents both lost their lives.
     
  27. Sorry fellas I can't watch this any more. I just checked the tube and saw a hook on the bottom leading edge of the storm. Turned the TV off also.

    Dig in and keep safe everyone. I'll check back later.

    Oh and when things let up a bit someone locate atomickustom.
