Part 1

YIKES!!!!

That was a close one! A tornadic storm passed right over my house last night!! My wife didn't want to go to the community shelter due to the COVID-19 virus, so we were hunkered down in the hallway. This storm had marched all the way across the state from Mississippi and had lost little of it's punch in the process.

The lead singer in my country band did a screen cap from his house's security system and sent this to me.

He lives about five minutes from me and this is looking north from his front porch. Luckily it didn't touch down, just a lot of wind and rain from it. It had produced two tornadoes before this pic was taken and dropped an additional one about 25 miles east of my house.
 
Dang, dodged a bullet man! Glad you’re OK!

What’s the word on homes in that area? No storm cellars or anything?

Some have them and some don’t. It’s not a mandatory requirement on new home builds and putting one in can get expensive.

As I said, normally we go to the community shelter but with the state of things we chose to ride it out at home this time.

I've often thought about putting one in here myself also, but yes very expensive. If I ever died in a tornado they'll say, "well he sure had a lot of shave soap and gear though " 😜
