I do not post up here much anymore, no reason to, I do not have a Porsche anymore.
I just looked in here to see if anyone was affected by the tornado's.
I want to pass along a story that is posted on another car forum. A member there lost his home, everything in it, his girlfriend is now dead, his dogs are now dead.
I am boxing up and sending him a laptop, a wireless router, some odds and ends, tools etc.. I have laying around, and a check for him to cash so he has some get on his feet money.
I do not know this guy at all, he is an internet e-friend. That is going through hell.
If any of you feel compelled to help out shoot me an email:
Jims5543 at gmail dot com.
Here is what he posted:

I am alright. Bruised scraped and have some real bad gashes but I am ok. My other roommates are alright too. I remember almost everything. I lost everything I had but thankfully I am alive.
I am going to try and get pictures of my house at some point and will post a thread about it all at a given time later.

Soon I heard Ashley scream and then I felt the house lift into the air. Soon we were rolling in debris and after about 30 seconds of that I finally blacked out. I woke up in a field across from my street and got up nothing looked the same.
I am a person that rationalizes everything so I was the most calm out of everyone including my neighbors. I didn't make it to a hospital for probably 2 hours then my parents came and got me and I am now in Vestavia. I am going down there tomorrow to get a few things a friend salvaged and take some pics. I will make a new thread and post the story and pics with it tomorrow.
