16. HOW? I gots NO basement LOL!
It's quieted down. But I did wonder how I was going to get a blind dog, 2 cats, my teenaged son, my DH and myself into the bathtub AND pull a mattress over the lot if the sh*t hit the fan. The logistics were just not workable LOL.

Oh wait -- forgot the turtles .....

5. Tornado kills 2, injures 30 in Tenn.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A tornado killed a woman and her 9-week-old infant and also injured at least 30 Friday in central Tennessee as a line of storms lifted homes, ripped off roofs and dumped hail in the Southeast.

Elsewhere, a tornado touched down in southwestern Kentucky, injuring two people and destroying homes. A possible tornado was reported in northeast Alabama. And large hail began falling in several North Carolina counties.

Three dozen people were hurt in Rutherford County, Tenn., seven of them critically, in the aftermath of a storm system that killed three in western Arkansas a day earlier.

"I think we're right in the middle of tornado alley these days," said Dan Goodwin of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.

Dispatchers at the Rutherford County Emergency Management Agency said the area has been "heavily impacted" after several eyewitness reports of a tornado on the ground at about midday.

In Murfreesboro, 30 miles southeast of Nashville, at least three dozen homes were destroyed.
