I am so happy to hear you and your family are ok. Remember the house and everything else can be replaced. I will say a prayer for your neighbors. That is a scary experience.

I still went into work in Elba and I think about 10 ambulances from Enterprise and Daleville passed by our office going to elba general There is one more band due tonight and then it should clear up, WSFA has all sorts of clips and such on their site, Enterprise High School's gym is a disaster zone, and I heard the bleachers at the football field were partially ripped up - those things are mostly Concrete and rebarb!!!

As near as I can tell, everything in the computer room was sucked through the kitchen and out of the hole where the bay windows used to be. My son and I were in the house when the tornado passed less than 50 yards away. To say that he and I were praying our butts off is an understatement. My son is probably going to need some counseling after this as pieces of the house were being literally disappearing around us. I've taken some pictures and will post them over the next few days when I can. We are at my mother's house, luckily, they were spared!

Not much else to say really. I'm beat, exhausted, confused and overwhelmed. But I'm alive, my family is alive and the animals are alive. Unfortunenately, my neighbors aren't so lucky. Their 13 year old son is missing. If you're the praying type, please pray for Enterprise, Alabama. The whole area looks like a bombed out city in Iraq, just no sand. At some point in the future, I'll make a post about what my son and I experienced.
OMGWTF quakin! I heard the YMCA was damaged and started wondering if you were ok! Glad to hear you and your family are fine, but didn't want to hear about your house or neighbor. Sorry to hear it and if there is anything I can do, let me know!

Quake...Tom...I am really glad to hear that you, your family and your pets are alright. That's the most important thing, bro. I know a lot of people have said as much, but the house is replaceable...you and yours aren't.

If my wife and I can help you in any way, we will certainly try to do so. Please contact me, and we'll work something out.



If it's not fixed, then don't broke it!

Wow what bad news. Sorry to hear about your loss, but you and your family are ok and thats what really matters. I hope you have good home owners, dealing with insurance companies can be a real PITA after a disaster like that. You guys are in my prayers, keep your chin up and stay strong for your family.
