Update May 3rd – Being without power for almost a week sucks, but it could have been a lot worse. My prayers and thoughts goes out to all those who suffered the wraith of the tornadoes that struck Alabama and many other states last Wednesday. I’ve been in the dark, so I missed out on a lot of the news coverage and I’m slowly playing catchup in terms of the damage the twisters caused. I thank every one of the readers for leaving their comments below – the family and I made it out okay. Now to slowly get caught up. A huge thanks to both ManagerJosh and TheBlackScorpion for keeping the site updated while I was not able to!
Hi Everyone:
This post is being made through ManagerJosh so if it sounds funny, it is from him typing.
As many of you maybe aware or not aware, the past week has had a huge amount of severe storms going through the Midwest portions of the United States. In the last twenty four hours, a tornado ripped right through Huntsville, Alabama. I’m alright, but we’ve lost all power. With all the storms rolling through here, as well as cleanup, we’re not expected to get power for the next three to four days.
In terms of site operations, we will try to post updates as often as we can. Updates will come as regularly as often by my awesome team members. As soon as power is restored, I’ll be back as usual.
Any questions, or comments, please feel free to leave them here for me. Someone will respond (eventually..)
Update 5:58PM Central Time (via ManagerJosh): All the latest reports indicate power will be out for a week. Thank you to everyone for your support, and to my staff who has all stepped up to help out maintain Simprograms in my absence.
Really hope you’re safe and stay safe Jud!! The same storms are passing right through me on Long Island, NY now so I’m crossing my fingers! But I’m happy you’re safe!!
sorry to hear about the storms and outage. i used to live in deep south – so know how it is. hope you get your power back before they expect and it’s not too hot down there for you. stay safe
Here’s hoping your community gets back on its feet soon. If only rebuilding in real life were as easy as it is in TS3.
Glad to know you’re A-okay, Jud! Praying that the storms roll on out so you and everyone else there can start to get back to normalcy. You stay safe now, and see you soon 🙂
When I was reading this post, I heard something about Tornados in USA. So I wish you, that will you have electricity as soon as possible, and be fine!
Stay safe Jud!
I was thinking about you while watching the weather channel, Jud. Stay alert—I hate to say it, but there might be more to come.
Happy to hear you’re doing ok, stay safe!
Glad to know you’re ok Jud! BlackScorpion, I and many other have been worried. Thank you for letting us know you are fine.
So sorry to hear about all the damages this severe weather has caused. I’ve been watching the news non-stop for updates.
Take it easy hun.
thank god you’re ok. I’ll do my part to keep the site updated. Be safe Jud.
Good to hear that you are safe. Hope everything will be alright.
Praying for everyone that has been effected by the tornadoes that hit here in Alabama yesterday. Be safe.
Glad to hear you are ok!! Can’t imagine how scary that must have been!! Hope that there aren’t any more and that the clean up goes well.
Stay safe! I am glad you are all right. 🙂
oh my! I’m glad you ‘re okay…
Stay safe!! I’m glad you are all right 😀
I hope everything is well
Stay safe ;D

Stay Safe D:
Hope you and yours are safe and sound. xx
Those storms were particularly ugly and sad about the ppl who lost their lives.
You stay safe Jud, hope you and yours comes out ok.
Glad to know you’re all right!
My best wishes for a quick cleanup and return to normal. My parents live in the Missouri disaster area. I know what you’re going through.
Thanks everyone for the wishes! As of 2pm today the power was restored – the news is calling it the worst tornado disaster in the US. I’m not 100% positive on that, I have a lot of catching up to do in both the news in terms of the disaster and the site. Being without power for nearly a week drove me nuts, but I know it could have been a lot worse and my thoughts and prayers goes out to those who suffered the true wraith of the tornadoes. The family and I came out okay with no damage.
Thanks though for the comments! Thank you to The Black Scorpion for keeping the site up to date as well as Managerjosh for putting the word out!
