Have to go. I'm going to get inside my closet.




OK, here are the first pics I've taken of the destruction....

I'm linking them because of size....

start spinning in the opposite direction at the exact same speed as the tornado and you won't get hurt

I guess my fart was stronger than I thought

don't loose your cool. stay focused and try your best to keep the panic to the minimum, it'll help you think straight when it arrives.

I'm sure you'll be alright.

I'm thinking in the Eastern Midwest US.

They've had really horrible weather there producing severe storms and tornados which is very rare past November!

She is okay!

2 1/2 hours later and no sign

You better be ok, Jill, hear me?!

OMG, your signature keeps on sucking !



I hope you're ok Jill. Is there a shelter near by that might be safer?

Imago said:

Yeah, her signature sucks.

Not nice, Jill. Not nice

Jill lives in Mississippi.

We really should start a photoshop contest with all the pictures we gathered from her. I mean, that is if we did such a thing.. hypothetically and all.

please be ok

Everyone...

First everyone is OK...

At about 1:40pm my husband called and said that we were under a tornado warning and for me to take shelter. I was worried about my kids at school, but didn't have time to drive to pick them up. I got in a closet and it got so loud. I heard things being blown around. It only lasted a couple of minutes and then it got eerily quiet. I got out of the closet. I looked around outside and I saw things strewn about the yard, but the house seemed OK. Then David called and said that Conner's (my oldest son) school got hit by a tornado. I jumped in my car and drove there in a panic. I came upon the school and saw that part of it was completely destroyed. There were mangled cars on the football field and buses on the roof of the school. I needless to say that I was freaked out. I couldn't get to the school so I left my car on the side of the road and ran a half mile in the pouring rain to the school. I had to cross downed power lines and by the time I got there I looked like I had jumped in a pool. I found my son safe. Thank God. He said he wasn't scared and was happy he wouldn't be having school tomorrow.

My other son is fine too. Thankfully our house only suffered minor damage. Some of the people in our town lost their houses. Things are pretty bad.

I don't know when I'll be back. We have no power and the damage is so bad that I don't know when they'll get it back up. Thanks for everyone who thought about me and my kids.

These things are no joke. Please don't be the idiot that stands outside filming. Get your asses in a closet!

good to hear you are fine, I knew you would be

So glad you're all ok.

hokie1 said:

Wow! That's why I won't ever live where you live.

No thanks!!

Glad you're ok though. You're a lot braver than I. If I were alone, I think I would've shit my pants!
