They're saying 25 dead so far in Alabama from this one wave of storms.

Gaw, that's horrible! I'm nervous to hear from some ppl here, don't we have one or two also in birmingham?

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 11:38 am

I think so, Alicia. I hope the news you hear is good.It's up to 40 dead now in Alabama.

Video. Click on the tornado icon above the flashing truck, you'll see it touchdown and move about. It doesn't look terribly bad. Not too much debris. I think. Maybe. Pray hard for them all. http://chase.tornadovideos.net/pages/full_screenEDIT: death toll to 57 now in AL alone

I pray they will be able to rescue the injuried and trapped soon. Heard the Tornado was on the ground for 1 hour. Pray for the families that are affected by this.

I actually didn't want to bring it up yesterday, but it has been 4 days since Brandon has posted. He's usually good for a 2 post/day pace. Hope to hear from him and others soon.

Heard from my close friends in TN that they were OK but without power. Just need to hear from folks here. Scary, I would have thought maybe to hear about the "worst outbreak in history" here in my home state, but wow. Have been watching footage all a.m.

Weather Channel stating a "Double funnel tornado tore through the town center" of Cullman, Alabama.

I forgot I have Brandon's cell# from the Indy meet last summer. I texted him. I'll let you know if he replies.EDIT: Just heard back from Brandon. He and his family are ok. He says he has an up-close video that he took of one of the tornados.

Hey guys. I'm ok. All my family is ok. No big damage to my close ones. My Facebook page (brandon gray) and YouTube page (03pontiac) both have a video that I took. I'll throw some pics up from around town too

Oh yes, thank you! That is a major relief.

Nobody has power so the traffic lights are out . A few people know to treat it like a stop sign, but SO many people fly through intersections. Dangerous stuff

Very thankful you're OK, Brandon & praying for all those affected by the storms.Here's a link to the front page headlines/photos from area newspapers (changes daily) http://www.newseum.org/todaysf...t.aspEDIT/UPDATE: Link to A Psycho Martyr (Brandon Gray's) tornado video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...epage

Phew. [Slapping chest with palm] Glad all is as well as could be, Brandon.I just checked out your YouTube page, and it's telling me the last vid you posted was a year ago. No worries, just an FYI. I've already seen more video than I could ever imagine. There must have been 10 different twisters, judging on the multiple cities hit. Crazy.

A Psycho Martyr · Post by **A Psycho Martyr** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:54 am

Now the radio saying that they are cutting the water off in cullman. We asked a police officer and he said just cullman CITY, and he wasn't sure about the county. Well see. I don't have gas powered ANYTHING and no generator....just a ton of bottled water, can food, and a grill....and no xbox live.lol

CAMOGIRL · Post by **CAMOGIRL** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:08 am

glad to hear you guys are OK, and don't have to try to rebuild or anything. I'll have to check out the video.

Salsa Guy · Post by **Salsa Guy** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:08 am

I've got a 4500watt generator you can use. Just need to come to OK to get it

09vGT · Post by **09vGT** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:53 am

Glad to hear you are Okay!

That video is crazy, it seems like its' sooo close. Hard to judge scale when looking at something like that, any idea how far away from you that was touching down? Glad you're a-okay, this year has been wild with storms.
