Audie, I was just reading my on-line subscription of the Walton Sun and it looks like Walton County is in for severe weather. I think it's crummy weather all around, that is, unless Kimmifunn chimes in and tells us about the eternal sunshine of southern California. ;-)

Yes, we have had thunder storms all day, sump pump working like crazy. We still have lots of yucky gray and black snow, sludge stuff. But they just announced in the past few minutes we are to get some more snow tonight.

Two hours north of us, Enterprise, AL, a tornadoe touched down at the high school and injured several students, and eight are still trapped under debris. I believe the roof on the gym collapsed and cars are reported to be overturned and scattered about the parking lot. School was about to be out (1pm) when the warning came, so the students stayed at the school. I haven't seen the news reports, but it may be on the tv.

SJ, that's awful. My friend in Huntsville said school got out at 11 am today because of the impending severe weather.

They just announced on our local news that there are fatalities at the Enterprise school.

Our kids were released at 11:00 today. We are having torential rain right now with thunderstorms. Wind is blowing pretty bad. I feel so bad for my neighbors to the south of me. It is very sad. I had not heard of any fatalties, and did not know of the students still trapped. The scene they are showing on the news looks awful.

8 Confirmed fatallites, and 40 more taken to area hospitals. The high school was in the direct path of the Tornado. They were going to dismiss school at 1:00, but the tornado hit earlier. Just so sad.
