Tornadoes All around - ordnance11 - 04-29-2011 This was the tornado that hit Birmingham The biggest concern right now is search and rescue. That and restoring power. __________________ Into terror!,  Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

I can't tell from the image, did it hit the city proper or skirt the outside? And what's the damage like so far? - ordnance11 - 04-30-2011 It hit the outskirts of Birmingham. Pratt City to be precise. As for the damage...easier to show you. __________________ Into terror!,  Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

The city did, however, lose more power poles than we lost in the Great Ice Storm of 1998, and parts of the city are likely to be without power until the middle of the weekend. The worst reported casualty was a woman who had both of her legs crushed by a falling tree - her employer has organized a fund-raiser for her medical bills next week. (And the place where I live lost two pine trees, but they're relatively easy to replace around here.) We got off lucky, in comparison. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Black Aeronaut - 04-30-2011 Had a few Tornado Warnings where I'm at in Maryland. It got my blood going a bit - A watch is just that: a watch... but a warning that there is a twister on the ground where you live... Yikes. - Dartz - 04-30-2011 http://www.ibtimes.com/ar...ado-satellite-images.htm Tornado tracks from space. ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig?
