Stay Safe in the South

[gabride2010]

I'm not sure if anyone here lives in South Georgia, Alabama, or Mississippi in the path of these storms. Everyone stay safe.

Tornadoes went through my hometown earlier this morning. My parents are ok, but I have friends and former coworkers' families that have lost their homes. Reports are starting to come in of injuries and deaths from these storms.

It isn't over yet. More storms are coming later today. Thoughts and prayers going out to everyone impacted, as well as first responders and search crews out in this weather.

If anyone in South Georgia needs shelter, PM me, and I can let you know where to go!

Stay safe, friends. T&Ps that the next waves of storms are not very damaging. gabride2010 I'm glad your family is safe but I'm so sorry for your friends who have lost their homes

It looks like Florida is also in the zone of some bad weather.

My in-laws just called us and told us they're "securing" the new house in preparation. But to not be shocked if they are out of contact for a bit due to the weather.

Thoughts and prayers for all those impacted by the storms

My sister and baby nephew are in Mississippi, so I'm hoping they will be safe.

Thank you ohinvrtedworld. My former coworker hasn't posted on FB yet, so I'm not sure if they are ok or not.

I hope your ILs stay safe teraiin!

Prayers for safety for your sister and baby nephew scoutradley!

Next wave is going to hit South Georgia in a few minutes.

Atlanta and north Georgia are about to get hit as well. Stay hunkered down and safe!

Thank you! The storms are finally over. This is definitely very unusual weather. Crews are still out searching for people. Georgia has been declared a state of emergency. I still can't believe this has happened, but it is amazing to see the communities band together to support and help each other!

gabride2010, This was so kind of you! I'm in south GA and while tornadoes were all around us, we were some of the fortunate ones. I have seen heartbreaking stories all over FB of people who have lost homes and loved ones. Continuing to send thoughts and prayers to those affected.
