Tornado report

[Jamos]

I wish I could ask the burglar, was it worth it.

I watched a storm victim intervewed today. Maybe Tuscaloosa. This guy was sifting through the wreckage of his home. He found the U.S. Flag that was used on his fathers casket, killed in the line of duty. Still in its folded flag shaped box he set it aside to look for more salvageable items. Someone passing by stole the flag.

that is past sad

Seriously - shooting looters on sight would be fine with me. WHY would anyone need to steal an American flag?    God bless this man and his family.

Not too fast.  A friend of mine almost shot a looter after a tornado here in Mississippi 2 years ago.  Friend lives in a rural area.  The tornado destroyed his neighbor's home and part of his along a dirt, side road off the pavement.  Friend saw a man digging in the neighbor's pile after the storm and called out, "I'll shoot".  It was a volunteer-fireman first responder.  The fireman had driven into the damaged area when he saw the first reports, with the intention of pulling out victims and giving first aid.

Ok - I'll rephrase -   Shooting a looter after shouting a warning.
Looters come out like cockroaches as was evident during katrina and also this disaster.  NO ONE has the right to steal just because of a disaster though.  I'm glad your friend shouted first though

[Terrie1959]

I know some of you all post at WA - have you heard if their family of posters are safe?  Prayers go out to all affected.

I am so sorry for the man who lost his fathers flag. I don't condone shooting looters but I pray that God will handle this kind of thing quickly. RTR!

people get crazy after these disasters and I believe it might make some folks do things they normally wouldn't do
that doesn't make it ok but I think it's true .

I had a lady attack me at a gas station with a empty gas can after Katrina
the line was so long to get gas that it took me over two hours to get my turn at the pump 
they were only letting us get a few gallons apiece and I was getting the gas for some elderly family members
the gas can lady walks up and throws her can in the bed of my truck and demands me to put gas in it
she caught the eye of the several security personal that were in the lot of the station monitoring the situation .

as they were walking over towards us she is shoving the gas can at me saying "put gas in it now !"
one of the security guys hollers too me "you put gas in that can and you aren't getting any"
things went bad fast , she takes the gas can and starts to come at all of us swinging it wildly at our heads
it was crazy ... they got her and I got my gas and got the heck out of there .
but I really believe she was that desperate and that is what made her act like that 
at least I hope that's what it was ...

Things are looking better in Decatur. We have power at our manufacturing facility today. It is a big relieve to me to get our 70 employees back to work tomorrow. It is also nice to get some internet news. The power is still out at my home and they think it may take a few more days to get it back on.

There is damage all over the state wit Tusacaloosa getting most of the news but North Alabama got hit hard too. A TVA power plant that feeds most of North Alabama got hit. It knocked out the main power line coming out of the plant. Over 600,000 home and business customers are without power. Decatur is in better shape than most. We can get food, gas, etc. Huntsville is in bad shape. Only 3% of Huntsville has power.

I feel lucky to only be witout power. There are a lot of people who have lost love ones, homes and everything they own.

Keep us in your prayers.

Hello everyone. Checking in from North Alabama. The power situation is a mess. My home and office power is still down. They think sometime Monday we may get some power. I am at Books-A-Million trying to get caught up on the news.

I hope all my e-friends made it through the storms OK.

Thank God for running water and a gas grill.

Glad to hear you're safe. Do you need anything? (other than electricity)

Right now I could use two bags of ice. 

We are doing good. It could be much worse.

I think SC is on the TVA transmission line.

SC is why I don't have power?
