Best wishes... Ive got family all over central and western NC and quite a few In Florida around Orlando up to Gainesville. Folks seem to be ok, but still trying to get ahold of some of them
Thanks Randall. The worst was on the west coast…. However a feeder band came through here yesterday that spawned about 30 tornadoes through our area that caused massive damage… mostly about 30 min or so north of us. Two came within a mile of my brother in laws house on either side. He was very lucky. Never have seen that much tornadic activity in Florida in my life.
The hat envy is crippling. Great look and fit!My hat for this morning's early chores/errands/shopping run was my 40s Champ.

That is REALLY sweet, and I absolutely LOVE the contrast of the ribbon.
That is looking VERY good, sir!The hat envy is crippling. Great look and fit!
My 7x clear beaver OR is coming together, just finished making this nebulous 0.5” gg ribbon -a local Muscovy donated the feather. Last item is a liner, I’m thinking to repurpose vintage silk scarves and ties and stitch together in a nice pattern.

Glad you were out of the path and must be farther south.
Sounds like your Bro in law won the tornado spared lottery!
I saw a vid clip of a huge tornado brawling through Clewiston, FL.
When I was stationed in Avon Park, I used to visit Clewiston every weekend and bass fish that small pond with the man made moat all the way around it.
Looks like the conditions made it just right for new tornado alley down there.
Lots of coastal damage.
Sure hope the warm sea storm machine will give us a break for a long while.
Much appreciated guys.VERY glad to hear that you, and your BIL, escaped damage and harm.
That looks like a 20 yard dumpster with a minimum weight of 3,040 pounds strewn onto that poor house; what terrible mayhem.Much appreciated guys.
This was one of the scenes from about 30 min up the road

Randall…. The one Clewiston memory I always have… as a child when we would travel across the state to visit my grandparents on the west coast… was getting to stop at Old South Bar-B-Q Ranch…. The road signs would tempt you for miles before you arrived at the restaurant Where they would have all these old west themed displays. Was always the highlight of that journey (aside from seeing grandma and grandpa
