We arrived at our place on Parker Creek late on a Friday night in 1993 to find 14 trees down on our property and power out. Debris everywhere. 1 week later we were able to get the boat out and look at damage. Terrible damage. The tornado came across the Needle Eye area, destroyed several homes. There was a clear path cut by the tornado from West to East across the land, almost like the path of a giant mower. From Needle Eye, across Coosa 20 to the Narrows, where several more homes were simply crushed, trees scattered like twigs, and continued on to the NE. A miracle nobody died or injured. The question is, how to protect ourselves from a tornado while at the Lake?? Serious question, because we apparently are in a tornado pathway, and they will keep coming. A flat lot, like mine, precludes a basement (water level). Plain wood frame house with absolutely nowhere to hide. Any ideas?? Mack
