Oh my.
One of my wife's cow-orkers has family in Tuscaloosa. They had to literally dig out from under their house, and found their neighbor's bodies in the front yard.
A tornado in Winter? Of course it's warm, though after Wednesday night (when that front came through) it has been getting quite chilly at night (40s).
Got most of my utilities back today except for the phone. I almost feel guilty for having power, so many are without anything.
Death toll in Tuscaloosa is around 40 the last I heard, one bit of information that isn't being widely reported (I don;t think it is anyway) is that there are 400 missing, one can hope they are merely displaced.
I posted a pic over at ABPW of an encouraging act I saw today.

Yeah. Grand, ain't it?

Thanks for the picture. Lew said it most eloquently - the serenity of the foreground grass belies the tree destruction in the background.
Let's hope the missing found refuge with friends or relatives and that as power and communication is fully restored they will all "surface" ...
Yeah. Grand, ain't it?
You polish your fingernails? ;-0
Of courth I do, thweetie. Just like Bugs Bunny. I breathe on them and then fold my fingers and buff the nails on my shirt fabric. (Bugs uses fur, BTW.)
