Quote HistoryI just moved to Fayetteville, TN, this weekend. We're sitting in the dark right now, with the creek next to the house (normally 3-4" deep) about 3' deep and running over the road. Luckily, we're all ok. Quite the welcoming to town. lol |

I've only seen one tornado before, and it was when I was about 12 or so. We were out of town for a soccer tournament, and a horrible storm hit our hotel in the middle of the day. We don't have sirens where I live, but the hotel and other buildings near where we were staying had them, and it was pretty scary to hear them all going off. We hunkered down under a concrete stairwell on the basement level and waited it out. I remember the sound of the wind was VERY loud--much more so than any thunderstorm I'd ever been in.
The good thing about living in the valley of the mountains (a little south of Knoxville) is that the landscape is very hilly/mountainous, so the few tornadoes that touchdown here don't last very long at all. That said, we do have some warnings and watches issued all over the surrounding counties, so it may be an eventful night.

I'll take snow
I live in CA with the earthquakes, and in the south with tornadoes. |

I've lived through more tornadoes than I can recall, including one that knocked over a 60' tree in m backyard, narrowly missing the neighbor's house and truck by mere inches. I don't worry too much. I figure if I'm going to go, I'm going to go. That said, I'd much rather do without them, thank you very much.
My phone is about to die. I'll check back after power's restored and I've been able to charge it. Y'all be safe and sleep well. |

Hey guys (Jackson)brandon, ms checking in here, had a very close call with a tornado. There were two rounds of storms that came through and the only way I can put it is that there were tornadoes everywhere so many the local meteorologist said he couldn't keep up and everyone in central and north mississippi take cover.
I was watching the news when all of a sudden he said brandon had 5 minutes before a large tornado hit so I grabbed my wallet, glock, ak47 and flashlight and made mad dash to the storm shelter then about the time I got the door sealed all hell broke loose. Luckily the tornado lifted before it hit my house but I have roof damage (shingles) and some trees down. Mississippi got hit real hard with tornadoes from local reports. |

Hope everyone stays safe tonight.
Lots of storm activity down South. Stay alert and be safe out there. Tornados are the only weather event that bothers me. I'm fascinated by thunder and lightning. I'll stand on my porch during a storm just to watch the lightning. However, if there's a chance for tornados, fuck that shit I'm going back to the basement. A few years ago when I was 16 or so, some friends and I were out on Lake Huron in inner tubes. We were about a 1/4 mile off shore when a storm suddenly rolled in. The sky went from sunny to dark gray in about 15 minutes and then the driving rain started. Before we got back to shore, 2 water spouts formed a few hundred yards north. I've never swam for shore faster in my life! |

My sister is in the medical field and said that the Louisville hospital is trashed. UMMC is handling their stuff and is sending a mobile emergency room if I understood her correctly.

Makes me glad I no longer live in Marshall or DeKalb, AL. That place was a tornado magnet. Looks like they will probably get a touch tonight.

We came through ok. I woke up a little after 1 and the power had already been restored. The creek is back down, though it left some debris in the road in front of the house. There's no damage and nobody in the house is hurt, which is the most important thing.
By the way, during a tornado and subsequent power outage, an Inforce APL, attached to a Glock 19, really lights up a dark house and pretty much the entire acre upon which the house sits. |
