Bad weather

[js]

Supposed to be a nasty tornado on the ground headed toward Louisville the vortex is said to go up 25000 ft that's unreal on the height of it.

I saw the storm chasers in Winona today about 12:30. They were staging there waiting on it to pop off. Said east of 55 was going to be terrible. They were so jacked up and very concerned for everyone. Said this was gonna be the worst outbreak in recent history. Way worse than 2011. Looks like they are getting it right. One guy did say, Back to back to back f3 f4 tornados would be a common occurence

Hope everyone stays safe

Got pretty wild out here @ Lake Caroline, but as far as I know, no one was injured. Lots of trees down, roofs damaged, saw one boathouse destroyed as well as a pontoon boat capsized. Just watched the replay on a buddy's surveylance camera. Very eerie stuff!
Heard Louisville got hit hard. Prayers sent to those affected.

200 yards behind my house is a mess. Cant really go anywhere. Downtown Brandon got slammed pretty hard. Trailer park near patrick farms in pearl is demolished, several dead or missing. Luckily skipped me, but there will be a lot of damage tomorrow when we can see. Bob boyt honda and Brandon High School supposedly have the roof off. Havent seen it.

Tupelo got slammed hard. Go to www.djournal.com for a pic slide show. I had all the kids in the bathroom and I was on the front porch watching like and idiot instead of inside with them. Before I could do anything it was on us and I was having a hard time closing the door. Clouds over head were rotating and there was all kinds of stuff in the air from 2x4 pieces of wood to freaking lawn furniture. News is saying it was a "wedge" tornado meaning it was very wide with multiple votices. (don't know if that is plural for vortex or not). Not a couple hundred yards from my house roofs have been torn off. In a neighborhood just a mile or two away there is mass destruction. There was an 8 pm curfew and they are serious about it. I went through 2 road blocks and was told to get my booty home right then.

For several minutes I really thought we were history. I had the kids put their bike helmets on because it was the only thing I could think of to protect their head. I had my ATV helmet on. I'm sure we looked real strange but it was the only thing I could think of to at least protect our head. Like most subdivisions our house just doesn't have anywhere to really go. That is as close as I ever want to get to one. It is a sound I will never forget and hope to never hear again. The pressure changes were popping our ears. My eight year old daughter was so scared she wet her pants.

Glad y'all are okay!

That's smart getting them to put bike helmets on.

Not gonna lie, when I saw metal flying around, I put on my waxed canvas jacket! Now the fun begins this morning.
