weird weather for winter,,,,heard there were tornadoes down around our beloved Tutu's part of the globe.

Anyone have first hand info??

Posted by just don (Member # 1129) on :

just turned on weather channel,,,sounds like lots of damage but they say its limited to a 'narrow' band.

Half dozen buildings hit then a neighborhood east further.

No fatalities and just 'minor' injuries

Posted by just don (Member # 1129) on :

if tutu isnt here for awhile dont be TOO concerned,,,cause puters dont work without electricity

Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :

i hope shes ok and everyone else down there

ive said this b4-pigwit lived in kansas to his 60s and never saw a tornado...except maybe the last year he was there...he said he might have driven thru one but was never sure

this year there have been so many in the winter!

maybe it wouldnt be smart for me to go south next winter in my little camper like i planned...

i hope we start hearing from them soon...maybe she'll call someone

I live in NE and the weather has been super strange. Yesterday it was like spring showers, thunder and all and today the wind is out of control!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

we're fine!!! The town is a mess!!! We live about 2 mi from most of the damage. Slept right thru it. (how, I don't know!!)

The damage is bad, but the town should be up and running within a few weeks, for the most part.

Thanks for concern!! Very shocking.

Posted by cbb (Member # 788) on :

Thanks for letting us know you're fine.
So relieved to hear it.
Take care!!

I'd say you were tutu tired to be disturbed by some ol' tornado!

Glad you're ok

Oh my gosh, Tutu, I'm just so sorry for everyone impacted by this disaster. So glad you are ok, but nevertheless I know this is stressful and upsetting. Sending you hugs.

HI DANQ!!!!! [hi]

Hey gang... danq is the one who designed my Tutus!!!!!

Yes, it was very upsetting this morning when I found out. My heart (literally) was not liking it. We've had a rough few days with other stuff going on so I guess that is why we both slept thru the storm.

Posted by just don (Member # 1129) on :

Cant believe you can even post Tutu. Dont you lose electricity during ferocious storms like tornadoes???

Especially with ALL the trees in your area. We have far less trees and they always cause huge damage when wind whistles

I see there are lots of pics from your area, going to look at them tonight after work.

GLAD all people are safe in this mess. that includes you,,,and yours.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

Lots of power outages.. but all fine where we live. Praise the Lord!! (we live in the sister city)

Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :

glad to see you're ok. i heard there was 12 dead but i don't know where.

it's that time of year.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I think 2-3 dead in our 100 mile radius.. none dead in our town.

so glad your ok...2 miles and you act like its nothing...i guess you have to be that way if you live there

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I know. You'd think I'd be totally freaked out. I guess it's still hard to believe.

I actually had chest pain while looking at the photos of the damage this morning though.

Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :

Glad you are ok. Bless those who are suffering through this mess.

Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :

i just saw the nws...there seemed like hundreds of dots...so many of them!!!

Posted by jimmy1 (Member # 33504) on :

This morning's news shows there may be some more wild weather coming up in the next day or two. Keep a watch, and stay safe, Tutu.

<<<<< Lymetoo >>>>>,

Glad you are okay, be careful out there. The weather map for your area was really frightening, several states, dots representing tornadoes high winds etc..

Hope it calms down soon!!!

What started as a mild winter here in SE Idaho and surrounding areas, is 'going out like a lion'. High winds [hurricane force, at times], trees falling, homes damaged.

We can hope and pray that spring 'comes in like a lamb'!

Glad you guys are okay. Slept through it? I thought I was the only one that could do that.

Even though Louisville didn't get tornadoes....if there is action in the state it goes right through me. About 50 miles away and I felt it from head to toe.

For hours I thought my head was going to explode from the pressure. Ky folks lucky that it was during mid morning hours. Those in the night tornadoes, seem to cause more deaths.

More bad bad stuff expected tomorrow (Fri). Oh my!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I can't take anymore .. and I wasn't even affected!

Good to see you, Pam and Silver! [Smile]

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :

Glad you're ok - it's so hit and miss...

Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :

yeah-you guys be careful

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

OH my. I drove down about 1 mile of the damaged area. Unbelievable. MY health food store is GONE. Totally demolished. The roof is caved in and the workers were visible in part of the store since there was NO roof there.

They were trying to salvage what they could. (my "friends" too!) I've shopped there for 16 years!!!

Right out front of the demolished bldg is a completely intact billboard.

Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :

tutu-i want to know youre ok after the second batch

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :

Tutu, I actually saw your healthfood store online - I saw its white siding - I'm glad you're ok!!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

hmmm.. It's all brick, Robin. Was it Nature's Sunshine?

kayak.. no storms here on the second round

Saw more damage in the downtown area today. Saw a house moved off its foundation. Several homes had trees on their roofs or in their yards.

I have a friend who has two rent houses that were damaged. The house off its foundation was two doors down from one of his houses.

May drive down the rest of the main drag tomorrow. There is quite a bit I haven't seen.

Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :

I think they said it was Nature's Sunshine - meaning the white siding belonged to some other building that blew away?

Means alot to have a basement in the area, doesn't it?

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

or it was the inside walls which were exposed

There was a sign that blew onto their debris that was white. It was from about 100 yds away.

I guess it was the same place, because it's the only health food store that was destroyed. We only have two in town! I don't like the other one. It's a Vitamin World. Only good for some things.
