Default Tornado's in the south...

Here's hoping all of our RCC members and their families in AL, TN, and GA that got hit by the tornadoes made it through ok.

My heart goes out to all that have lost family, friends, and homes in the last 24 hours.

Last Activity: Yesterday 10:12 AM, hope he is ok.

Hueytown is close to Tuscaloosa which was the hardest hit.

I imaging it will be a few days before we hear from any of them. Does someone have any of the AL guys numbers to reach out to them?

I rode up to Tuscaloosa today! Words can not describe it. McFarland Ave(main business route) is pretty much gone.

Got a text from Rockcrawler and BTF this morning they were good thankfully.

Pretty much the area I visited today. A good friend of mine works for the cities utility board and he showed me around a bit. I wound up helping move some debris most of the day........which I did not mind.

Hope all of you guys and your families in the areas where tornados have touched down are ok. We've had a couple of small ones touch down in VA fairly close to where I live. It's nuts.

We got very lucky and one passed a couple miles north of us. The wind was really ripping though.

Anybody heard from BenzBuilder? Others? I hope everybody is alright.

Heard from Benz last night and again today. He and his family are good and he didn't receive any damage at his place.
