Interesting about storms, we moved here from Tuscaloosa Bama after the April 27 2011 tornado, sick of the storms and tornadoes.
From driving around today, I came to the sudden realization that new developments like ours with small immature trees suffered little to no damage. Those with mature trees and above the ground electrical services... one can see and hear the chainsaws and chipper trucks working full blast.

The skies cleared out last night and one thing I noticed was the sky, due to the lack of ambient light due to power lines being down everywhere, the stars came out to play.

The dangers that remains are water. They expect the rivers to crest in the coming days and expect more flooding.

Can one visit the Gibbon sanctury? I had no idea one existed in what is basically our neighborhood.
