Tough stuff, waiting.  I also have no inside protection for my Westy here in the northeast.  It worries me as damaging weather goes through.  Thankfully no big trees next to it.  Hang in there, there are a bunch of us pulling for any friends in areas hit by this extraordinary weather.  Up here our 4th Northeaster in less than a month, each with a foot or so of snow, hitting us tomorrow.  Leftovers from the storm that is hitting you and another coming across the top of the country.  Hoping for the best for you.

A major weather system crossed and continues to cross Alabama tnight there
have been severe thunderstorms,  high speed straight line winds and
tornadoes. Hail as big as three inches has fallen in places. Trees down,
terrific building damage, power lines. Car dealerships are taking a
terrific beating. One dealership has repoted in with 4 million dollars lost
inventory, and that was just one. Cars and trucks are huge here and t his
state has auto dealerships as big as any.

My poor old '88GL Subie project is sitting out on thevopen underva tree ib
the country. I haven't been able to get in tough with neighbors to check on
it. Tomorrow will tell the tale. Hope no tree fell on it or hail beat it to
death.
