Thanks Punkin' - this is going to be an interesting drive for sure! Looks like every route available to me out of town to Concord is blocked in one fashion or another. Guess i'll be leaving early and arriving late. From the way things sound Cabarrus County is a mess. (Sticking my phone on the charger...)

We really got nailed over here on my side of Charlotte. How is everything out your way?

Lighting candles of protection for everyone in the path of this storm.

It's crazy - the TV news says go to their web site for traffic updates...try to navigate that! i dare you! Heck, i double dog dare you!

So frustrating!

Blade · 04-05-2011, 02:00 PM

Yes it was an ugly ride to work. Power line was down on HWY 200 north and at the intersection of 74 and 200. A tree was across our road on the other end. I didn't have any trouble going to work. Oddly enough I slept threw the whole storm until I got up to get ready for work and the power went off. LOL

Funny thing was I got up and went potty, then asked Sweet did she have her alarm set. Then I said did it ever storm last night? She said yes it's storming right now....then crack snapple pop and the power was out.

girl_dee · 04-05-2011, 02:09 PM

my family in New Orleans got hit hard... power outages and major hail.

sheesh

Blade · 04-25-2011, 06:48 PM

Is everyone in Arkansas and the Memphis area alright? The radar shows a huge ugly storm over that way. I'll bet some of you are out of power. Hope you all are ok, let us hear from ya.

I know you are well prepared and all, so that's a good thing. Thinking of ya as I watch the news

I think you are right, cuz it sure looks ugly on the radar.

Blade · 04-25-2011, 07:38 PM

N Little Rock declared state of emergency. Several tornados reported. Stay in the closet Jack

They are saying the high winds and stuff are moving on toward Memphis

Jesse · 04-25-2011, 07:55 PM

Little Rock and the rest of Arkansas are getting it bad! I hope everyone stays safe.

That's awful news about the tornadoes. We'll keep Arkansas in our thoughts. Very glad to hear you're ok!

Will do, glad to hear you guys are ok and safe.

princessbelle · 04-26-2011, 07:44 AM

Wow wow....

This storm cell is unreal. I was so glad to come to this thread and see at least some of the people posting and they are ok.

Jack and Medusa can you make it mandatory that people let us know they are ok? LOL just kidding but gosh it's hard not knowing if our folks are alright. I hope more that are in the storm, yesterdays and today's, will come in and say...I'm ok!!!!

Sweet, ty for making this thread...you are precious and it's wonderful!!!!

Knoxville got hit with a strange "fast storm" yesterday afternoon. It was fine outside one second...the next it was black as night, trees laying over, hail, scarier than i could have imagined.

Tons of trees down and debris everywhere. I really thought it was a tornado and am shocked it wasn't. I was without power from 2 yesterday afternoon until just about 30 minutes ago. There are still 40,000 without power here and they say problems with most traffic lights not working.

Still, nothing compared to what Arkansas got....my heart and prayers to all of you all there and the rest of the nation that is in the "red zone". Still more coming i see on tv.

Grab something and hang on tight!!!!!

ps. I should have listened to Jack and others on another thread about preparing for such things. I couldn't find my flashlight last night and just had a couple of small candles. First thing this morning i went to the store and stocked up. It IS important to be prepared

Looking at the radar, the worst of it is past you now; Still some heavy rain, but the line with the yellow/red storm indications is East of Little Rock now. A few more hours of heavy rain to go. Hang in there!

I never thought I'd see anyone tell Jack to stay in the closet...but I haveta' agree.
