very sad day here
It’s about 6pm CDT here in TN. We’ve had more tornadoes today. I spent the day updating the website at work with warnings (I’m the webmaster for a university in Nashville). Luckily I work in the basement.
CNN has a video of some of the damage closest to our home in rural Cheatham County on the border of Dickson County — link to video and here’s a map. A suburb of Nashville, Gallatin, got hit badly and there are now 8 confirmed dead.

Glad you are OK! We had a few tornado warnings around here, and some two-inch-diameter hail, but no confirmed tornadoes. Y’all got the worst of it yet again, I’m afraid.

I grew up in White Bluff, and my parents and sisters still live there, although I’m in Indiana now (which is supposed to be tornado alley, but TN definitely got it worse than we did). Glad to hear you made it through, but the damage and loss of life in the area is saddening.

I go to White Bluff all the time because of Perfect Pig
Glad you’re ok AD!

It’s hard, living in the UK, to comprehend such a scary thing as a tornado. We see it on the news and and on discovery channels but to actually be there and see one - I don’t know how you do it!
So sorry about the loss of life.
