Be prepared and spread the warning!!!

1. Thanks for the warnings. Yesterday the schools let out early. We were lucky and I pray we are

today. In fact I pray for everyone to be spared any hugh damages. This is scary because you never know where it is going to hit.

[malaise]

9. Stay safe

Make sure all important papers and photos are in the shelter with you

[southernyankeebelle]

10. Excellent idea. Thank you.

2. thanks for the heads up!

[get the red out]

3. Thanks, and yes, I'm worried

Jim Cantori is on his way to Lexington, you never want to be in town with him, no offence intended.

I am really worried, day before yesterday was scary enough, but worse is predicted for today. It's a day to take this stuff seriously. We cleaned out our interior closet last night and everyone here at work knows where the "safe place" is in our building.

Good thoughts and wishes for everyone. Hopefully the weather people will be wrong on this.

5. me too

first wave is going through Russell County right now headed for Pulaski County. Off to the local motel for shelter.

6. Stay safe!

It's raining right now here, but it will get worse in a couple of hours for sure.

11. We're suppose to get our hit about 2:00. They called school out at noon. The sun has been coming

in and out. We had alittle rain. We are about 30 mins from Cookeville.

8. Jim Cantori is bad news but remember

he usually ends up in the wrong location

[malaise]

14. Alabama was hit already

Stay safe folks

[leftofcool]

4. We are leaving our little mobile home out by the lake and heading to the motel in town

No shelter here so we think we will be safer in town. Offline for 24 hours.

7. Thanks.

What parts of Tennessee are effected? We're a long state, so something that may happen out west may not happen over here in the east.

15. Thanks

It's very warm, sunny and windy. They just issued a Tornado Watch until 9 pm (CDT) and most of the school districts are closing early.

Got the cell phones, cubbie hole, and weather radio ready. Hope that everyone stays safe this evening.


Thanks again.

Heard Harrisburg Illinois may be hit again today

[Bobbie Jo]

22. Will do!

I know! Harrisburg is about 60 miles west of us, we got a dose of the same storm early that morning w/o the touchdown.

It's going to be a rough spring, I can tell already.

Stay safe everyone!
