Anyone else on here affected by the tornados?My home town got leveled.Lots of people without power and theyre about to shut the water off

No sir but i've been watching the news and WOW! Worst Tornado breakout since April 1974 (267 Tordados). From what i saw this morning on the Weather Channel it was at 620 Tornados for the month of April. When I went to bed last night they said something like 70+ deaths and this morning was up to 200. Those storms just made a path of destruction! I hope your friends and family are ok.

Sorry,
To hear about all the people being effected by all this diaster.
I am just not convinced it is all natural and not someone playing with their toys up in Alaska for some unknown reason.

Terrible storms, looks like Alabama got hit the worst.

I think this is the worst it has ever been, yes?

Just got word from my life long friend Craig Shadix that his jam house was hit and the whole band lost their gear.They found his 5150 head in mud and his Gretsch guitar with no fretboard.the rest of their gear is just gone.bass,custom drum kit,amps,PA is all gone

If his amp is messed up I wish we could do something for him.I can replace the fretboard on his guitar.Hes married with a kid and couldnt even afford any new gear now especially after this.Weve been friends since 3rd grade and hes a great guy and a great player

Gary, Am glad to hear you and your family survived. We did OK in parts of HSV, but in other areas it looked like a war zone. Homes completely flattened. We were w/o power for 4 days, but up and running again.
