Well, we had a tornado come through yesterday afternoon that sent my back deck roof mostly over the top of my house.  Quite the mess but will give me the opportunity to do some upgrades on it.  May also get a new roof, we shall see.  My next door neighbor got a call from a friend saying a tornado was headed their way and he heard the roof come off with a loud bang.  Will post some pictures when I get back to Atlanta.

there was quite a bit of damage on the upper part of 63.  I got a call yesterday and someone told me that 259 (which is the main road that runs between my house and Alex City, was not passable and today I saw why.  Dozens of trees were uprooted and smashed down.  One house along there (which they just finished adding onto and remodeling) survived, but the face of the house was gone.  

We sat and watched the weather and they were calling out roads (less than 5 miles from me) and talking about debris signatures.  WE were lucky an had no damage at all.  Not even a tree.

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.

Took a ride this morning on the other side of Coosa 20.  Multiple pine trees just snapped in half.  Along 259, at the Okachoy Creek Bridge, trees uprooted and snapped off.  Understand that Nixburg got hit as well, but didn't go up that way.  Lots of damage in the River Oaks area too.  Power trucks all over the place, trying to restore power to those that lost it.

GOt it, we’re in Stillwaters and looks like other than some big trees taking out a couple of utility poles inside Stillwaters near the 34 entrance and knocking out power for a day or so, haven’t heard of any damage to any homes.

Just got here to check and make sure everything restarted as it should, so might as well a while!

on the way down, near LaGrange the wind damage to many trees on the right of way was very obvious.....all seemed to have snapped off about midway up the trees.

Hope you didn’t have too much damage over there.

Our side of the lake, we took a major hit, will take months to recover, but not like a lot of folks that will have to tear down and rebuild from the ground up.

Wow! Just saw this.  It is amazing to me how tornadoes can decimate a house and one next door or across the street looks almost unscathed.  Apparently they bounce around and where they touch down they wreak havoc.
