Anybody else in Middle Georgia get whacked by the tornado

[MadMonk]

As some of you may know, Middle Georgia was hit with some very serious weather this past Mother's Day weekend.

I live on the outskirts of Macon. Macon was ground zero.
My area had a lot of broken limbs, some ripped off siding, damaged cars...from the broken limbs, power outages, etc. This is the second time in about a month I've had some serious damage, and/or clean up from the high winds.
I had to drive into Macon today, and the sights were unbelieveable. Broken and uprooted trees all over the place. I'm talking Large Oaks twisted and snapped in half like toothpicks. Buildings caved in, signs ripped to shreds, power poles and lines down. No electricity, no street lights, Large sections of main roads shut down. I know of at least one fatality. From what I saw, it's a miracle more didnt lose there lives.
Curfews imposed. What a mess!
Well, I'll count my blessings.
Now, where is that website for storm shelter's.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I can definitely identify with the heartache and headache storms cause. I live in South Fla, so I deal with hurricanes every season. People down here have to play the shutter game: Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down....Shutters Up...Sutters Down

We're just South of you MM in Houston County, just below Centerville. I just finished raking our front and side yard where we have several oaks and a few pines located. We did not get the damage y'all got.

Wow, twice in a month is brutal.

I am sorry to hear about the damage but very thankful that you made it through alright. Good luck with the clean up and finding a shelter!

Go to www.macon.com to see some pictures. Makes me feel pretty puny.
People really seem to be doing o.k. except for a few folk's that figure now is a good time to pick up a few
extra items for the house.
