They both live near Fairhope, on the east side of Mobile Bay. Sounds like the tornado was on the other side (Saraland side) of Mobile.

I lived in Mobile for a few years, but later moved a tad further inland, and am happily parked in a corner of the state which rarely gets severe weather directly.
Knock on wood.
fairhope is lovely..do you get a chance to visit your sister often?

I have - indeed - visited my sister in Fairhope (actually, Point Clear). I love the Gulf coast.
