Heard the sirenes knew one was close thanks for the heads up!
One of our guys from the shop lives on the mountain, straight up above the sand bar at Town Creek. He sent me a picture of the tornado. He said it came up the bluff from the river. I'll post a pic later. That would have put the tornado very close to the bridge and boat ramp.
It's sped up and headed up through Section now. Gonna go close to Pisgah.Quote:

It was between Town Creek and Short Creek. Very close to the State Park and yes that area has been hit several times in the past 10 years. There are some paths through here that seem to be very conducive for tornado development. Unfortunately our farm is in one of those paths. Just a few days over a year ago one came through our farm. The guy that lives in Asbury has had them close to him 3 times in the past 5 years.
One time ! I could understand hanging around 2 times or more I’m getting the heck out of dodge! Moving to higher grounds ! White Flag Icon
Well he and I are both in the same boat. We both live on the farms we grew up on. It’s not quite as easy to move off from those places. We moved to the farm in 1978. The tornado that hit our farm last year was the 2nd one to make a direct hit on the house and buildings at our place since we moved there. It was the 7th one to touch down on the road we live on since we’ve lived there. We just try to stay prayed up.
Hope you guys stay safe up there!:pray
I look at as just part of living in the south. Try to stay safe and if it happens, it happens.
As a plus, we do have SEC football....:biggrin

I was the only one who took cover while others kept singing.
I used to fish with this guy at Town Creek a lot and when it would become bad weather moving in, he was like "we're under a bridge". I dropped my poles and started praying.
Y’all be safe.

I got this photo via a group text and can’t find out who took it but this is the storm that hit Douglas, Hyatt / High Point, and Guntersville. The photo was taken from the school at Douglas.

Spring must be a very uneasy time for everyone living in what's well known as the tornado alley states. I live in North Carolina where we are hearing more and more about tornadoes than every before even this far east, but I know I speak for many when I say, I always dread to see the destruction and death caused by these devastating storms in the spring wherever they happen. Prayers for all who find themselves in harms way.
