Well that was terrifying
During the 3rd time we were in the closet in the basement last night we heard a low rumble for a couple minutes — that got quieter as it passed by or whatever. I don’t know if it was just a lot of wind or a tornado or what. It did sound freight-train-like. And scared the crap out of us.
A tornado hit Fairview, Tennessee, during the 1st time we were hiding in the closet in the basement. Though we have a Kingston Springs TN address we are actually closer to Fairview. I’m waiting for the Emergency Management folks to give me my assignment for clean-up. Thanks to some intensive chiropractic sessions at Action Chiropractic my shoulder problem is better.
The local TV had weather stuff on it all night, (and rightly so) so I didn’t get my Super Tuesday political junkie fix.
Please say some prayers for the folks affected by this weird weather. They’re saying over 50 people died yesterday.
Right now I’m waiting for a tree-cuttting crew to finish so I can get out of my neighborhood.
It was 71 degrees last night at midnight. (That’s not normal mid-South USA weather for February.)
The wireless network works in the basement closet haha. Thanks to the folks at WKRN, for Internet streaming their live weather TV broadcast last night.

Glad you are okay! I was in a tornado (an F5 that killed a few people) when I was a bitty little kid, so I know how terrifying that is.
We had a few storms here last night and I was without power overnight, but nothing like the mayhem y’all had. How awful.

So glad you made it through safely. I lived in Oklahoma for many years right in the heart of Tornado Alley. Only went through one and that was enough! It was exactly like you described it, only about three came through in roughly a 1/2-hour period. We were safe in the courthouse basement, but the sound was indeed like a freight train….

Thanks - I would rather not go through that again. I’m sorry to hear that some of you have.

Oh, damn, I didn’t even think about you being near that terrible weather. Glad you’re okay. Have started helping with clean up?
