Safe and sound.
We were at my friend/neighbor's house in her storm shelter. The closest one got to us--which was one of the smaller ones--was about 5 miles away. (Which is close enough!)
My husband's Expedition, which was on the other side of town at his brothers was squashed under a building though. But if that's the worst this family got, I consider us lucky! The big one that stayed on the ground across the whole state hit Tuscaloosa (missed the main university campus) and right outside of downtown Birmingham in some
very heavily populated areas.
What can I say? It's bad here. Really bad. Fatality count is already over 50 and it's just starting. The destruction is more than words can describe. Please keep this area in your thoughts. There are going to be some very hard times ahead for so many here.
