Just got an emergency alert on my phone

[CatWoman]

and an email from work saying if you're not working from home, you should go home.

We are under a tornado watch.

Scary sounds from outside.

[onecaliberal]

1. I hope it doesn't get near anyone or hurt anyone.

that would scare me too.

[CatWoman]

4. hard rain has turned into hail

[onecaliberal]

36. Do you have a cellar?

[BittyJenkins]

26. Be safe! 💕🐦

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. Where are you? Down by Huntsville or Selma, some place like that? Thanks. NT

[CatWoman]

6. Stone Mountain, GA

I saw on the news all the havoc the tornadoes played in Alabama......

[CurtEastPoint]

10. Yep, in East Point. Same.

[maxsolomon]

18. Hopefully the tornado tears Borglum's insurrectionist relief off the mountain.

If you're at work, you should probably stay there - better than in a car between shelters.

[rubbersole]

30. That was just Saban lettin' off steam.

[COL Mustard]

31. I work with people in HSV

They got that this morning. We're due for it later tonight (DC area).

Be safe!

[intrepidity]

[CatWoman]

9. ty Span

I expect to lose power any minute.

cable went off 5 mins ago

[spanone]

13. Thinking of you

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Sounds bad. You got a basement to hide in until it's over?

[CatWoman]

17. unfortunately no

[TreasonousBastard]

20. Bad news. Anyone who's basement you can hide out in? Usually...

there's postings of heavy buildings in the area that are safer than home and set up as shelters.

You're not that far from Atlanta, so there should be lots of news. We don't want to see you as a statistic, even if your house does land on a wicked witch.

[AllaN01Bear]

25. herd bathtub is next in recomendations . hang in there .

[ecstatic]

12. Me too. Was just about to go to kroger to get gas and sweets

It sounds like hail might be falling too. Thank goodness my car is in the garage!

[catbyte]

14. Watch this stream; it's as good as local news if you lost cable. Stay safe!

[CatWoman]

16. excellent!!!

thanks Catbyte

[blm]

15. Hailstorm here in WNC.

[Cha]

19. Hope you all are safe, Cat!

Do you all have Storm Cellars?

My grandmother had one in Eastern Colorado when I lived out there many years ago.

[NutmegYankee]

41. The South rarely has basements

A lot of homes on slabs or pre-manufactured.

[Cha]

47. TY.. This wasn't a "basement"

We entered it only from outside the House with one of those huge flat doors.

She kept preserves and homemade canned goods down there.

I didn't realize the importance of it since I had never been in a Tornado.

Years later my Mom's hometown, Limon Colorado, about 10 minutes away got Flattened by a Tornado.. I don't think anyone was killed.. Amazingly enough!

This happened on June 6, 1990.. so 32 1/2 years ago now

Limon marks 20 years since devastating tornado

21. If You Leave...

...be watchful of the skies.
A car is the last place you want to be in a tornado.

[orangecrush]

28. +1

If a warning has been issued, not a watch, a tornado has touched down and is moving.

Car is the LAST PLACE YOU WANT TO BE

[RKP5637]

22. ...

[mgardener]

23. Stay safe

Just was watching Ryan Hall on y tube.
Lots of scary storms.

[Hekate]

24. Stay safe, CatWoman!

[orangecrush]

27. Go to basement IMMEDIATELY

DON'T TAKE CHANCES.

PLAY IT SAFE!

NO BASEMENT - GO TO CENTER MOST ROOM OR CLOSET, STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS!

[Lucinda]

29. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[GoCubsGo]

32. Yeah, that shit's headed my way.

The first wave should be coming through within the hour. The worst of it in about two hours. I hope it weakens significantly before it gets here, as these things tend to do.

[barbtries]

33. stay safe

and keep us posted.

i just this sec posted this in the video forum: it's a live storm watch channel

[Nittersing]

34. Please update us when you can!

[CatWoman]

35. my internet keeps going in and out

I'd be surprised if this message posts

[Nittersing]

37. It did!! nt

[Elwood P Dowd]

39. Most of it has moved east of Atlanta now and headed towards NE part of South Carolina.

You should be out of danger before long.

[CatWoman]

45. even tho we have not been getting the "all clear"

I see the storms have indeed moved out of my area.

But it was scary for a while - loud thunder, strong winds and pelting, beating rain.

I just went outside to check and when it stops raining I have a lot of debris to clean up in the yard.

That wind was fierce!!!

[orangecrush]

50. Glad you're o.k.

[bdamomma]

38. Be safe please

[rurallib]

40. I am late, but make sure it is safe o travel first

Sat through a tornado at work one afternoon - had I tried to get home I surely would have been killed.

[Solly Mack]

42. Hoping all is well!

[Katcat]

43. Oh no!

I’m sure you know to get in the tub if you don’t have a better spot to hide. Be careful!

[Farmer-Rick]

44. I'm in East TN and we had a hell of a thunderstorm come thru

Right before sunset. We had hail and rapidly changing heavy winds. Glads it's done with.

They had a tornado alert earlier but that has been removed. We are to expect snow later this evening. It was 70 degrees out this afternoon.

Ain't global climate change grand?

[LudwigPastorius]

46. Don't worry too much if it's a watch.

I live in the southern portion of tornado alley. It seems like we're under watch half the time.

Now, if it turns into a tornado warning, turn on the TV and fire up the weather radar.

[Ferrets are Cool]

48. We had tornado's close to us today. I think everyone is ok though.

Hope you are safe CatWoman.

[orangecrush]

49. Just read tornados ripped across Northern Georgia

Please check in when you can do so safely
