Roll Call

Everyone in the tornado belt please check in if you're able to. We just need to make sure y'all are, at the very least, still alive. Safe and sound would be better, but we'll settle for alive.

I think Oklahoma missed all of this round and part of the last round but thinking that Trad may still have his head down. Praying that all make it through OK.

Tornado belt, Northern Ohio to the gulf of Mexico, via Omaha. I'm still here but not out of the woods yet. local guys just came back on the air, tornado to the south, just moved in from Ms. It will track toward us but too early to tell exactly where. Strong TS moving through here now, cable is locking up. I'll get you a couple pics up of a storm I shot as it moved into and out of my area. It developed into a radar indicated tornado about 30 minutes after it passed through here. I haven't confirmed if that one touched down. these pics are all of the same storm. The first two are about five miles apart as I came up behind the storm. The last one was directly behind looking at the rear of the storm as it exited my area.

24 confirmed fatalities nationwide and it's not over. We still have tornadoes in south Alabama now and Georgia will get it all night.

Nasty stuff. News here is reporting 28 dead nationwide as of 0630.

Still hoping to hear from those we haven't heard from yet, and would like to hear again from those of you that have already posted. It wasn't a good night in a lot of areas.

Morning guys. Thanks for the good thoughts yesterday. I had to be away from the house most of the day and wasn't able to keep the info flowing so other than local news I got very little. I understand Indiana got walloped pretty bad along with Kentucky. We had several tornadoes but as of 2200 last night I had not heard of a fatality in Alabama. I'm afraid this outbreak will again be one for the record books.

Cincy is alive but unfortunately there has been several fatalities within 10 miles from where I live. Moscow (10 miles south) got wiped off the map.. My best friend and foreman at work lost his boat while his neighbors lost their house. We had debris falling out of the sky at work. Pieces of 3/4 OSB and shingles were landing on the cars in the parking lot 10-15 minutes before the storm ever arrived. This one hit way too close to home:
