Thought and Prayers to Ft. Rucker, AL (Home of Army Aviation) and surrounding communities.

Amen!  My prayers are with them.

Just got an email reply from Jon (Cobrahistorian) who is at Ft. Rucker now and living in Enterprise.  He is 2 miles from the H.S, that was hit.  Luckily, he reports that he and the family are fine and no damage to their house.

Thanks for that report, Gino... I was thinking about Jon, and a few others down that way I haven't heard from yet.      A terrible, terrible thing to happen!     It's hard to imagine Enterprise any other way than it is... bless those people's hearts!

 Take care,

Frank

Just heard news about the tornados that have been hitting the Ft.Rucker area, more specifically Enterprise. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in the area. I was stationed at Ft.Rucker from 1991-1997 and at one time did live in Enterprise. Very hard to imagine something like this happening, guess I'm still in shock.

Amen to that. I got some of the preliminary reports from the Aviation branch in Rucker through the government network, but the details i got were sketchy at best. Glad Cobrahistorian is doing ok.

Thanks guys.  We're headed to the disaster area tomorrow (sunday) to help out clearing debris, etc.  Things in my neighborhood are fine, thankfully.  The storm was moving southwest to northeast.  Had it deviated a mile and a half eastward, it'd have gone right through my neighborhood.  Very scary.  Thankfully both me and the Mrs. were up on post at the time.

I sure did!  I lost your email and haven't really been on FSM much lately (been spending most of my online time over at ARC).  THANK YOU!  I owe ya one!

Jon

Glad to help out.  Between your writing and your flying, I expect you'll put them to good use.
