I live in the mountains of northeast tennessee. Who would think that multiple tornados would touch down in my area (Smokies) and kill 15+ people? You don't think that this weather event can happen in this region of the country. At my hospital, we have two patients whose trailer (on perm foundation) was picked up and rolled into a neighbor's garden. Mom was killed. Telephone poles were not only broken off but were pulled out of the ground to disappear completely. In the coming days, please pray for those, in my dear south, lost and their families.

Quoting: Erins#1Mom In the coming days, please pray for those, in my dear south,
Yeah, weather does change ones plans.
Daily stuff seems so urgent, and pressing, then WHOOOSH, perspective gets all re-aligned.
Been thru a couple hurricanes, and a couple earth quakes, no tornados though....can't imagine.
Gotta be just pain horrific, during and after.
Things to do this weekend;
Paint the garage
Hang a new clothes line
Work over the budget
"Izzat a train?!!"
"We got no train!!??"
WHOOOSH!...
New list;
Find the garage
Find clothes
Budget did get worked over
But to be serious;
Perhaps an unkind word to or from a loved one in a hasty moment of anger were the last words heard....
A teen preparing for graduation and college, Dad, Mom, wife, husband, child....the most precious treasures earth has...gone...without regard........that kinda loss stays with ya, and gets passed down to those who weren't there, who come after, when their perspective needs alignment.
Tweat that.
My heart is with my southern brethren

This can't hold a candle to the South's devastation but I beg your indulgence, forum, for I will be living the cabin life vicariously through you kind folk for a while yet from the looks of things.
This is our little town about 7 miles from camp. There are probably a hundred or so miles of closed roads twisting through the Adirondacks as of this morning and scools are closed. The Hudson River (yes, that one, it starts in the ADKs not too far from me) is overflowing and that won't be good for places downstream, like NYC.

That truck in the beginning of the video is a NYS stocking tanker looking for somewhere to drop the little fishies.

Watching the evening news about the tornado devastation, seeing people who have lost everything but thanking God they are alive and calling it a miracle. I am amazed at the faith of some.
