  This is what was happening in my home town..

  http://abc3340.com/news/videos/april-27-2011-tornado-touches-down-in-cullman

  What many people do not know is we had massive straight line winds early that 
morning (in addition to other tornadoes) and many parts of our state were 
without power during that huge outbreak.  After the outbreak, we didn't have 
power for nearly a week.

  Watched some of the early morning coverage recently posted on youtube late 
last night - the last hour or so (really two hours) as the on-air guys were 
starting to get some damage reports in - - their tone really changed

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElZZNvNdhks

  Here is the infamous coverage of the event as it happened...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmI9__WLR7Q

  I was actually out checking on a tower that had been without power since that 
morning as this thing spun up - i almost
  drove right into it.   There is a picture of the sky from about 30 minutes 
before (while i was at that tower) hanging in
  our conference room.   My dad's office shows several damage photos from that 
day.

  Lots of coverage on youtube - - our state is buzzing about this todayand

We had a very mild winter and a very early spring. I hope it's not like 
last year all over again. You guys keep all that tornado shit down 
there. I will have no more of it.

Then weeks and months after the storms, people have roofers and siding 
contractors come out to do repairs, and:

90% of the time they call AFTER the roofers have moved or damaged our equipment

10% of the time they call when the roofers show up and want us to come out 
right now this minute, remove the dish, wait around while the put new shingles 
under it, then remount and align it, so they don’t go a day without Internet

My favorite is when they NAIL the mount back onto the roof (out of 
alignment).  Or when they re-hang the surge suppressor upside down.

Re: [AFMUG] 5 years ago today.....

[Glen Waldrop]

I was south of all of the really bad stuff, north of some of the moderately bad 
stuff.

Damn near lost two family members in that storm. One’s apartment complex 
survived and the neighbor’s didn’t, the other had moved just a few days prior 
to her apartment complex being erased. A third was just a few blocks from the 
intersection of 15th and McFarland.

I’ve got family spread out over the entire run of the storm. It is amazing how 
it all fell together. They all just happened to not be there when it rolled 
through.

I sat here with my TV on one channel, streaming another, just watching, keeping 
in touch with everyone and keeping one eye to our south west to see if anything 
was coming our way. Started around lunch time, didn’t stop until at least 11pm.

Crazy day.

we had lost power by the time i got home from the towerand so had the rest 
of north alabama.
i still plan to watch that eight hours of footage starting at 3 pm at some 
point
i mean, i didn't "see" any of it.  i was too busy going to downtown trying to 
find out if my dad's office had been hit.
i saw our tower down about four blocks away :(
