Tornadoes

Okay, after the mess with a few tornadoes during the night, I’ve survived. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into that time where there were tornadoes every night at midnight for a week, and the sky turned green at a certain time to forecast it.

There were tornado watches and warnings all over the place, but since 9 PM rolled around and it was just rain, we went to bed. At 9:20 the sirens started, and they lasted until around 9:35 or 9:40.

Checking The Weather Channel, I also found out that a mall I used to go to whenever I was in Memphis was completely destroyed. As in there is nothing left but a huge pile of bricks. *checks notes* It was the Hickory Ridge Mall.

And the Memphis airport took a beating, from what I’ve heard. I think they said it was either partly or completely destroyed—and that the winds were so strong that it lifted a (turned off) 737 off the ground and moved it a foot and a half away.

In total, as of this writing, there are a grand total of 32 dead in Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. And I think the tornado is still in Alabama.

If anyone on my friends list had to deal with these tornadoes, or is dealing with them, you have my sympathies. Try to stay safe.

X-Journal Related, And More...

Due to the fact that the X-Journal poll ended in a three-way tie, I decided to pick the best idea for a character out of Karma, Nocturne, and Pixie. So I’ve picked Nocturne, and I'll likely apply for her sometime in the middle of next month, after I've finished my fanfics.

I also figured out a ton of possibilities for the PB choice. I've narrowed it down to five choices, and they have all been altered and given blue skin and yellowish eyes thanks to Ulead.

Vote for the one (or more than one) that you think works best for the character.

[Poll #1134267]

In weather related news, the last I heard the death count after the tornadoes (for all three states) was 52. In the aftermath here, at least, the temperature has gone down to 39 degrees. It was 70 yesterday.
