Hello from Alabama

I really feel for you guys and pray for the best for all of you.

The warehouse portion of the company I work for is in Alabama and they've been running on a power generator and skeleton crew for the last week. They couldn't even get orders out one day because Fed Ex and UPS would not pick up.

I can't even imagine what this is like as the worst thing I have to deal with is heat. Tornadoes are very seldom in the Phoenix area and even if they do happen they don't last long since we're in a valley and they can't build up a huge amount of momentum.

It is a nightmare here, all around in Bham outward about 100 miles there are communities wiped clean, literally. A funnel wiped through my area within a half block of my house killing a guy 2 blocks away. Everyone here as friends or relatives affected. They are still finding bodies daily, and there are close to 400 people unaccounted for in Tuscaloosa alone. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I haven't seen a post from Back in Black in Huntsville or 11JT in Cullman. They recorded 186 tornadoes down here on wednesday alone. Doc

Correction: jt4bama11 is the other Brother in Cullman.

Hey guys, My family and I are ok. Thanks for your concern. I just got power back yesterday but my mom and brother are still without but at least we still have homes. Its really sad to see the amount of destruction. Hope all of you are ok too!

Good to hear!

I still ended up going to Panama City on Thursday for Bike Week. On the drive down we saw how bad it was between Cullman and Bham. It is a mess but the utility crews have really busted ass. We have had trucks from all over the country to come help restore power. I'll be fine if I never seen this kinda of destruction again. My prayers are with those who lost loved ones and homes in this disaster.

Very Glad to hear from you friend!!! Wish you the best with getting yourself and family & friends back on their feet. Take care.

Hey Black! I was worried about you. Glad you are ok and had a safe trip. Doc
