Checking in after storms...

Posted by Kaye ‘63 on April 19, 2019, 1:39 pm

I’m wondering about our buddies who live in/near the damaged areas from yesterday’s storms. I hope you are all ok. I’m not exactly sure where the damage was. Sounds like Morton/Forest/Homewood. Let us hear from you if you can. Thx.

Just a nice shower with a gentle breeze in Carthage

Actually, Steve, you were one of the ones that I thought might have been in the path. Glad to hear I was wrong!

The main damage was in the northeastern part of Morton. The area around the intersection of Dummyline Road and Oakdale seemed to be ground zero. If any of you know where Morris Tullos Drive is off of Highway 80 in Morton, the damage was off of that street. It is near North Morton Baptist Church which is on Morris Tullos Drive.

Homewood had several trees down on the roads. Took me an hour to get home from Raytheon. I think I heard there was 17 or 19 tornados last Thursday. Polkville had lots of damage, they had the Red Cross at the fire department there and used it as a shelter. But yes Morton was hit bad.

We had some Bearcats around Forest that had to deal with trees down. Just hoping none involved major damage. My heart goes out to those who lost their homes.
