Glad my tarp is not up- tornadoes all around

My 10 year old JRB tarp got ripped a couple of weeks ago when straight line winds came through, bringing down many trees and flipping my(unoccupied) hammock stand over, which tore the tarp. I was not dumb enough to repeat that with what was forecast, but this is much worse than forecast. Right now tornadoes are touching down all around, and a 142 MPH straight line wind was reported not far away. Sirens are going off, may have to get in the shelter soon. Odd that wifi is still working so far. Pray for the folks of north MS, and then AL as it will be thee before too long.

Any one camping in Sipsey Wilderness will shortly be getting hit real hard.

Yep, that was close. Two homes destroyed just a bit over a mile west of me. One of the roughest storms to hit here in awhile.

Yep, all clear here now, some homes and buildings destroyed, but I have not heard of any injuries in this area, though Louisiana has not been as lucky.
