House is so big I didn't even know the weather was passing thru. Let me go look outside.



I was watching a movie in my home theater, went to the kitchen for a refill because I gave the staff the night off and finally heard the storm

No hail here. Got really bad for a little bit but all good. Starting to pick up again though.

Appears to have finally moved out of here but it felt like an F-7 was on top of us for 15-20 minutes. Big oak tree down in my neighbors back yard and My dog still won't come from under the bed. Amazing we never lost power

Energy must have some incredibly strong infrastructure in my area because the worst we suffered was a flicker of the lights

My lights didn't even flicker. I still can't believe it.

My neighborhood has undervround powerlines. We flickered for about 10 minutes then it finally gave way. First time my power has been out in 4 years

There was rotation. It wasn't a thing like straight line winds. This was completely different.

We had a flicker but are on that women's hospital power grid. I'll post some pics later, lost several parts of our fence and patio furniture was flipped over but that's the worst of it.

They've got sirens in Mobile. But they had less than a minute from the time they started to hear the "rumble/freight train" to the time it passed them.

They spent a shitton after Gustav. Barring a direct hit to a power line or transfromer, you're good.

Yeah I forgot about that. Lol. Still as bad as it was, very shocked we didn't loose power. Actually come to think about it I've been in this house for 3 years and have never lost power once.
