For those of you that asked, and for some of you who did not, we survived the tornado that struck Tuscaloosa at 2 p.m. today. John our weatherman son who is a Storm Chaser caught it and while he escaped the weather van did not , but he did get some very interesting shots. South Tuscaloosa is a wasterland ,40+ are admitted to the hospital and at last count eight were dead.Sometimes we really don"t realize what makes a Merry Christmas , Jerry O.
