True, Jamos. Here's his house before the tornado: (http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg201/Chechem_2008/Football/4566%20Tradewinds%20Dr_zpsvka4nua9.jpg) He'll need to explain the other photos.

Title: Re: Tornado-damage photos from 2Stater (Pensacola) Post by: 2Stater on February 25, 2016, 06:44:32 PM Thanks Chech for posting these. We are still without internet so I sent these to Chech to post. I am still posting from my phone. All these pics were taken on my street or within 2 blocks from me. To really see what's going on, it's best to enlarge these. All these pics are of destroyed houses and overturned cars. Still can't get in close enough to get a pic of the Moorings apts. you guys in Tuscaloosa already know how bad these things are. Even worse than this. But this is very unusual for this area. They are calling this an F2. You rarely ever see more than an F1 around here.

After seeing damages from storms like this, it's always scary to think of the what ifs.

If you read back on the Daily Thread, once I realized that 2's neighborhood was hit I thought the tornado was on the ground from Orange Beach to Escambia Bay. That's what the tornado track showed. It could have been REALLY a lot of damage ALL THROUGH Pensacola.

Today there were 50 (fifty) more tornadoes in the eastern United States. LOTS of heartache. :( Title: Re: Tornado-damage photos from 2Stater (Pensacola) Post by: 2Stater on February 25, 2016, 07:27:22 PM I have DirecTV, so when the power came back on, I had TV. Breddy just helped me get internet with the "Hot spot" on my cell phone, so I'm back in the saddle again on my computer. WOOOT!!!!

Very sad about the others though...My grandmother lived on Gulf Breeze when I was a young child but moved out to Robertsdale when I was probably 9 or 10 y/o...I can't help but wonder if her old house survived as well as the elementary school that was just up the road from her old house...

Where in Gulf Breeze was it NALT? Sounds like Oriole Beach Elementary. That area south of there got hit very hard by Ivan.

Somehow, I missed posting this one. Title: Re: Tornado-damage photos from 2Stater (Pensacola) Post by: BillBrosky on February 26, 2016, 07:43:06 AM But this is very unusual for this area. They are calling this an F2. You rarely ever see more than an F1 around here. I think they now have it as an F3 with highest estimated wind of 155. Yes, it's VERY unusual down here to have an F3, much less two a week apart. Saw an interview of a lady yesterday from her hospital bed, said she rode it out holding onto a power box, flying around. They went back out, found the box, showed her a pic and she identified it as the one. Somehow, I cannot find any humor in that. :-X Title: Re: Tornado-damage photos from 2Stater (Pensacola) Post by: 2Stater on February 26, 2016, 07:56:01 AM But this is very unusual for this area.

I heard on the news last night that a sign in a neighbor's yard was found 50 miles away.
