Anyone on the forum get hit by the storms that ripped through the south this week? We didn't have any damage but a few miles from our place is pure devastation with a couple of small towns destroyed. I spoke with a friend of mine in Mt. View, AR and they lost the hospital, ambulance service, a doctors clinic and all phone communication the night of the storm. No one realized how hard they had been hit so it took several hours for volunteers to show up in great enough numbers to do a house to house. They may not get power for another five days. There was a call out on our FD radio for all EMS and first responder personnel to go to Gassville so my wife and I took off during the storm. When we got there they had so many volunteers that they sent many of us home.
