You alive after that storm this morning? Macon is a wreck pics to come later

[Jimmy]

Yeah man, how are yall fairing? I haven't made it that far south tonight. The tornados missed us, fortunately. I've been up since about 5:30 when the tornado sirens starting going off. Power went out shortly after. Got called into work about 7 and have been riding circuits all day evaluating system damage. Taking a quick water/food break and going back out. Last I heard was 40,000 folks in the dark. Bloomfield area is destroyed. It looks like a damn hurricane went through parts of town.

FYI, Richard, curfew tonight from 2000-0600 according to a cop a talked to a bit ago. He said the thugs learned from Katrina and are already looting and shooting each other.

I take that back, its 60,000 folks in the dark. I am going home and going to bed right now, back at the grind tomorrow at 6:00AM. Y'all be safe  8)

I don't know how you feel Jimmy but my Dad sure does. He has been on the phone most of the morning.

Yea molly was sitting in a hospital for 6 hours.  Her mothers cousin was the one killed and the wife is in critical condition in Macon.  I guess that was the only fatality so far.  Not a good way to spend mothers day. 

[Jimmy]

Dang Alex, hope y'all are ok. Do you know what hospital they are at?

[Matt]

That sux. I hope everyone else is ok. I was in TN dodging the storms at a hospital all weekend for my wifes grandmother.

[Alex]

I believe they are at the medical center(i think that is what it is called)>  The one downtown.

wow I am glad that storm missed Columbus. I know we got some heavy rains and loud thunder but that was it. We would have been screwed in that Hotel
