Tornados hit Tennessee

[helen99]

This is a lot worse than I thought. The Tennessee tornado didn't bounce like they usually do - it stayed on the ground for miles, basically scrubbing everything in its path

Thirty-one people were killed in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, seven in Kentucky and four in Alabama, said emergency workers.

Yep. They're going to need some help down there.

And we in the western part of WV got pounded by high winds, all day Tuesday and Wednesday. I'd figured it was due to the tornadoes, but I didn't know all the damage they had done. Wow.

It was predicted that we would get some strong weather, but it either missed us or else I missed it while I was in my windowless office. We did have an emergency preparedness "exercise" involving tornado safety procedures.
