Well I am glad to see that this thread turned into a humorous one rather than a state of emergency happy to hear everyone is mostly safe!

The line of storms just popped up a bit north of Baton Rouge and are moving over Louisiana and Mississippi right now. Stay safe out there.

We had all our staff and clients lined up in the inner meeting rooms and hallways - kind of funny to see rows of adults sitting on the floor for 40 minutes...

Glad to hear you're OK. Got cousins and an aunt in Texas, (San Antonio). I'll hit up their Facebook pages to peep 'em out.

Didn't get anything more than cloudy skies here in Killeen (Central TX) about 3 hours south of Dallas. Everyone O.K. up there? What about the LA folks?

With the number of tornadoes in that concentrated area, I'm amazed there were no deaths. Happening during the day definitely helps there, but looks like the schools had plans in place that they executed well, homes were (for the most part) empty (except for some pets that are still missing ), and people listening to the warnings.

After April, I think everybody in Alabama is hyper-sensitive to it and do not take those warnings lightly.

Prayers to those families impacted by destruction and may their recoveries be quick.

Heard from my cousin this AM. They're all OK. Storm didn't hit Beaumont or San Antonio where they're located.
