Where to avoid riding, right now. Tornado damaged areas?
PrinceBooger here. My wench and I will be traveling through Alabama, Missisippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennesee, North Carolina, and Georgia. I have had no success finding where the many tornadoes have touched down within these states. NOAA, weather web-sites, etc. have not been of any help. I'm leaving in 2 weeks for this trip. All I know for sure is avoid Tuskaloosa, AL. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Well, that's a lot of riding for sure. Steer clear of Ringgold, GA, up near Chattanooga just off I-75 north. The only other roads affected in north Georgia, AFAIK, are over around Lake Burton in the NE quadrant of the state. That would be GA 197.I will be traveling through Alabama, Missisippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennesee, North Carolina, and Georgia
There was a swath of damage south of Atlanta running right across I-75 at one point, but traveling is normal there now.

I'm pretty sure all the roads are clear of tornado damage here in AR. I-40 was closed for a while due to flooding, but opened up now both ways. Go here for reports on AR highwayshttp://www.arkansashighways.com/. There's a link off this page showing flooded highways. Not too many of significance, unless the creeks rise again.

Prince,
I'm from North Alabama and can tell you, you are fine anywhere you go in this state. You may see some damaged houses but will have no trouble with roads or lodging. Yes, there was extensive damage but tornados cut a relatively narrow path and this isn't North Korea. We get things cleaned up pretty fast in this country. Good luck on your trip.
