That storm started just south of us here in MS. Today I just feel shell shocked. I've lived here my entire life and I'm very used to severe weather and tornadoes but yesterday was unlike anything I've ever seen. We had very strong tornadoes on the ground EVERYWHERE. I have never been so scared in my life (except for Katrina).
We had some wind damage and a few downed trees..but the county close to us that was hit with the big F-3 2 weeks ago was hit AGAIN and I think 7 more people were killed.
We were lucky in that they all seemed to track just North or just South of us but we spent hours in the bathroom with the kids yesterday on and off..it was a nightmare. And to see the news coverage this morning...It seriously brings tears to my eyes when I think of what happened and what could have happened.
They're saying it's the worst tornado outbreak in 35 years. Crazy scary stuff.
ETA: just watching the local news..32 confirmed dead in MS...9 in my immediate area.
and the numbers in Alabama are just unheard of.
