The storms in the east/southeast were just horrid. I can't say that I can't imagine what it was like, because I can. Although I have not lost a home to a tornado, I have seen many many tornadoes, living in Oklahoma and Gary's son's home was hit twice. His home was left standing but severely damaged, while homes around his were flattened. It was eerie. Several years ago, a tornado tore a huge swath through Oklahoma City and it was just horrible, simply unbelievable. There was not nearly the death toll as there was in AL, I'm not sure why, maybe because so many people in OK have storm cellars AND THEY USE THEM. My sil was caught out in the tornado I mentioned above and she had to run into a gas station and get into the grocery freezer. It was very very bad.
