I started out the day by riding a 4 wheeler around the amphitheater area and into Children's Harbor. Several of the russell cabins to the east of there are now totally gone. Some had been removed before by Russell Lands, they were planning on selling lots in there. But now it's pretty much leveled on that side of the slough.
Then we got in the boat, took shots of the Cocktail Slough, then went around to Windermere. Windjammer Road etc seemed to get hit the hardest. Oddly enough, there were 2 water patrol guys in that slough, one of which pulled us over and said they were watching for looting, and asked our business in the slough.
Next we went over into Blue Creek. I heard on WSFA that Stillwaters was hit but it looked almost unscathed from the water. The tornado really went north of there, where Rush Road and Semmes? turn off of Impy Road off of 34. Mind blowing.

John, thanks for all the hard work you do to help keep everyone informed about what's going on at the lake. You are a great ambassador for the Lake Martin area. You need to run for Mayor!

What's all that jack hammering going on over at your house? You building a new road?

I thought it was your place. Heavy equipment in and out. Maybe he's building a tornado shelter :-)

After seeing all the scenes of devastation around the lake and other parts of Alabama, I'm thinking a tornado shelter might not be a bad idea.

Careful now BigFoot, someone like Maverick, or Summer Lover, or Rude, or Mcgill, or Mack, or Hodja might try to make something out of that.....metaphorically speaking

Yup, sounds kinda like that movie "Brainstorm" - talk about realistic dreams...

anyone who wants them. Just as long as you don't use them for commercial gain (eg you sell them to other people).
If you just want copies to print out for yourself, go ahead, my pleasure.
But if anyone has the know how to create cards, magnets, a book, whatever, and would like to sell them for relief effort, I am all for it. Let's talk. I just don't have the know how to pull it off.
