[RC] Storms in South - rides2farTo make today's southeast weather news more interesting for you guys.... The tornadoes that caused the deaths in Alabama were about 5 miles from Jody Buttram's house. Maybe she'll give details tomorrow. She's sitting dead center on tornado alley...they even have a road marker near the Bankhead forest to commemorate where a historic F-5 went through years ago. Jody has a bunker under her home modeled after a super nice house she'd always admired. That house disappeared last night, but the bunker saved them. Good thing it didn't hit her barn. I'm sure the stupid mule would have survived and that's what she'd have been stuck with. The storms in Jackson, Tennessee were about 5 miles from Marie Threadgill and my nephew (whose sister Ashley competed down here) was in the bottom of that dorm that blew away at Union University. His dorm room, which was upstairs was gone after the tornado. It was absolutely crazy here this morning since it all hit right at time for the kids to arrive at school. We had parents abandoning their cars in the drop off line and ending up huddling in the principal's office watching the weather channel till it was over. My classroom is a portable and no way I was taking kids up to the "trailer park". I left my horses put up all day and this afternoon it was bright and sunny and it took leadropes to get them to leave the barn. They had decided they would just stay in there! This afternoon's storms looked like they were headed for Wesley Crowe's Million Pines ride location... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
