Huntsville, AL and a nearby community were hit with tornadoes early this morning. It ripped part of the roof off a max. security prison but no one was injured and there were no escapes.

We are 'under the gun' this afternoon and tonight and I hope it misses us. This county has been torn up several times by tornadoes since last April. I'll listen for the tornado sirens and keep my weather radio on. The weather is extremely warm today with temps in the low 80s already.

My husband is in another state and they have been under tornado warnings since Thursday morning. I haven't heard from him today and don't know how the weather is in his area. The weather map shows that they are being hammered with rain and high winds.

Everyone please stay safe.
