1. Tornadoes in December are unheard of....

I pray all is well for those affected. Prayers to the families who list lived ones.

3. We headed to the basement when we heard one was nearby (relatively), but it missed us.

Over the years, we've seen many tornadoes head through an area to the NW of us. It seems the mountains and river valleys steer them onto a SW-NE track, and away from us. Only twice have we had to take shelter, and even then, the area that got hit was to the NW.

I only remember a few tornadoes going through Huntsville proper, but one of them in 1989 was very lethal -- happened while I was attending college out of state, and struck without warning.

5. 1 dead. EF 2. Lots of damage. Hit 8 miles from me.

Cell stretched 63 miles over 3 parishes. Scary. My family was fortunate.
