Hound, I went up and checked on our place today and it was fine. Along Coosa 20 I saw some downed trees, a few showing the signs of a tornado, twisted off half way up the trunk. Straigh line winds blow over the whole tree, while a tornado tends to twist them off half way up. Saw this when Hurricane Frederick came through Ocean Springs, MS in 1979. Going around afterward it was obvious where the momentary tornados dipped into the pines, swaths of half-trees left for a hundred yards or so, no other damage around. My neighbor and I watched it from my front porch until a large pine 20 feet from the house snapped off about ten feet up...closest we came to getting injured was when that tree snapping sounded like a cannon going off and we both tried to get inside the house at the same time.
