Wow it will take me awhile to read and catch up with everything probably won't be able to read the whole 1 1/2 weeks worth of posts but it is nice to have electricity and internet again. I hope everyone else is doing okay. Is Analog and Gardner okay? I think everyone else is from other regions. It's all good to be back, I missed ya'll making me laugh. I need that right now.
Oh and Happy Mothers Day to everyone, I know I'm especially thankful I still have both my boys.

I see Gardner is okay, how about Analog where is he at? Does anyone know? Sorry I'm having to play catch up.
I figured it would be better to post this here Pmos. You asked what happend to me. Well I guess I will catch everyone up. In a clean not detailed version. We had alot of tornados here on the 27th of April. No electricity!! Alot of loss of life. If you can imagine pictures of steel strucures destroyed imagine what that same force has done to the human body. I finally learned that all of my family made it through alive and my house is still standing. But alot of small towns just don't exist anymore here and hundreds are still missing.
The dead total is 236 are people who have been positively identified. Like I said hundreds are missing. And the illegal population are not even being counted as missing nor are the dead being counted because they cannot be identified which is sad. I could tell you hundreds of sad horrific stories but I'll share one of the positive ones.
Some good ole boys found a nearly new beer cooler. In it they found a 2-3 year old boy, they asked him how he got in the cooler. He said a man with wings put him in there. His family was located, he was one amoung many children that only knew their parents were simply mom and dad. He was 3 miles from his family home that was destroyed and he lost his mom, dad, and sister that day.
I am blessed.

I also have some tips if you need them to be ready for the vape-apocalyspe. If that ever happens. Also I have smoked analogs as you can imagine no electricity = no charged batteries. I made it charging them with my car for the first 4 days but then it just became necessary to save the gas in my car. It's been a struggle and I can tell you, I wasn't made to be a pioneer woman my whole body hurts down deep.
I had heard the news about the tornados in the US, but didn't realize it could have affected someone I knew, as is the case.
This truly has been a horrible year, so far, in terms of human tragedy.
All the best from a distant friend.

I'm so happy you and your family are OK. I had no idea it hit in your area, as the news here seemed to concentrate on just Tuscaloosa. This year really isn't starting out all that great, is it? Let's hope this is the end of it for a long time. Stay safe and welcome back.

Awww thanks Slim, Star and Pmos. But I'm Blessed and we are very positive down here. I've seen people really pull together. In the beginning all we had was our local radio station, we didn't know just how wide spread things were, we lost all contact until that radio station got hooked up with generators. They still have the local radio station that announces needs and within minutes someone calls to fulfill those needs. Like in the beginning people with oxygen tanks were running out of oxygen and a local small airport would refill the tanks for you. Companies sold generators at cost.
Even the military commented that they were surprised because they are suppose to be helping us and we have been cooking for them so they don't have to eat those stinky MR-E's and worrying over them because it looks like such a war zone. And by cooking I mean taking the rack out of your oven and sitting it over a log fire on cinder blocks but a few had gas and generators. Before our local store lost their frozen food because of no electricity we just had a hugh barbeque in the middle of town and fed everyone. It was great. Now if we can just kick out FEMA we would be okay. Things were going alot smoother before they arrived. Of course Charlie Sheen went to Tuscaloosa to save the day with all his tiger blood. Geez.

Well T-town is where the Alabama football team is. Of course I'm an Auburn fan. LOL But that isn't the worst hit area. Cullman was hit by an F-4. Tuscaloosa was hit by an F-4. And several more tornadoes but the worst was the one F-5 that hit just before Hackleburg, Phillips at the western edge of the state and continued on the ground destroying small communities until nearly 200 miles later where it ended just over the Tennesse line on the North Eastern side of the state.
Okay enough playing catch up.... let's have some fun... now where is that IgnoraBot I saw around here?
Oh and RB it isn't #3456 yet. And I'm thinking I may go for it too.
#2345 was hilarious!!!
