Yeah, definately a smart move, but makes me worry about the boy when things like this are going on. I know about where he is in Kentucky, but it got hit so hard, there's no way to really know for sure if they were. Hopefully he's just having a busy Saturday.
Or maybe power and/or internet is out. If I ever lived in that kind of area, I think I'd have some kind of storm shelter that wasn't under the house- but could be accessed from the basement.
