SPALDING COUNTY, Ga. -- News Chopper 2 flew over tornado damage that stretched across Spalding County. Most of this damage is centered around Highway 19/41, Old Atlanta Road, Minter Road and Sidney Road.

I'm present and accounted for. I'm glad to hear you are ok Ranger. Nothing was too close to me, but I share your concern for Pistol and all those affected by the devastating storms.
The total dead is up to 318 and still climbing, most of them from Alabama (my home state, still the place of many friends and family members). These storms have caused the highest death toll from tornadoes since 1932. Unfortunately, it looks like it will surpass the 1932 death numbers shortly (there were 332 killed in twisters in 1932).
God bless the search and rescue, police, fire, red cross, those lost, the survivors, and all their families.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

Yep, glad all our peops are good. Pistol said a tree fell on his new truck and the corner of his house. No one hurt and he should have his electricity back about Wed.
I rather have the blizzards of the winter than the tornadoes of the summer, we were hit hard here in ohio last year but nothing like what went though the south, glad to know the people we game with are OK, much sorrow for the families that lost loved ones
