@ A Skeptic = I live just before Louvinia by the Sonoco Station.
My kids live out the Parkway, just past Louvinia. One of the tornadoes went right over their house and tore up a lot of stuff near their neighborhood.
I think Tallahassee’s really fortunate that so few people were physically hurt by these storms!!!
Considering all the Utility Poles that were snapped in half, The Linemen are doing an awesome job getting the power back on. THANK YOU LINEMEN (and WOMEN).
