We watched on TV as one tore through Birmingham, my brother on the phone hunkered down in his root celler.
Then later the same system ripped across the mountain just across town from us and just about wiped Ringgold off the map.
The scars are still visible.

My daughter is now in Oklahoma and I have been dreading this. They missed one the other day and were hit just by hail.
Their development (mostly military families) was NOT built with cellars.
I worry.

Although I did see a few pictures of storm pits being full of snakes.
One had 12 rattle snakes that I could count.
I think I might rather hang onto to the mailbox post instead of going in a storm pit with snakes.

She didn't have air conditioning and it was the coolest place to be.
"Watch for snakes" was the only warning.
Never saw one.

A lot of people put the storm pits in after that big tornado outbreak.
We are usually spared tornadoes. But if one does set down in here, we are toast.

If it hadn't turned like it did, well, I'm just thankful.

That's what I mean, the mountains pretty much deflect a lot.
But when one does come over the mountain it picks up so fast, it becomes deadly.
