May be the same stormness, idk, but southern ontario also got hit. I think there were 2 or 3 confirmed tornado, and the wind in my town was insane. Flipped planes, uprooted trees, knocked over transport trucks. All that jazz.

The storms have been horrible here in the south. 250 people died just yesterday from the largest tornado outbreak in 60 years.

Meanwhile it's only SNOWING here in Minnesota. Snow on the Eve of May, it's ridiculous. Seriously, though, I'm sorry for the loss of all those people. Minnesota was really devastated by tornadoes last year, receiving the highest number of tornadoes in 2010 in the US. It sucks, but life does inevitably move on.

Those storms were down in Alabama, and it's absolutely saddening and horrifying. I hope this weather stops soon.

We were lucky where we live in Athens, GA. We didn't get the brunt of the storm. Northwest GA got hit hard. One high school and middle school got hit hard...Ringgold MS/HS.

It was in my area. Tuscaloosa (ab an hour from me, which is where i went to school) was devastated. One of my friends completely lost his home. I feel bad for him.
Metro Birmingham got slammed, but the worst of the damage was in the northern part of the town. My area was ok (I'm more to the southeast of downtown)...just a bunch of debris scattered about. I was out of town at the time and was quite surprised when I got back last night

A good portion of the area is still without power and water, and will be for days. I guess me and my little area got lucky.

I used to live just south of Birmingham, and my grandfather still does. We heard from him yesterday, he and most of his neighborhood are fine. There are loads of others who weren't so lucky. The news just said nearly 300 are confirmed dead now.

My cousin, her boyfriend, and their son live down south. They were just up here for Easter, and when they returned they found that their neighborhood was severely affected. They have tornado watch just about every other night, and we worry about them a lot.
