Anyone involved in the tornadoes? (Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi Peeps)?

[Josh Langel]

Since I work in news, I have been following this story all morning....



I hope everyone is okay and no one has family living in those areas (Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi) hardest hit by the tornadoes... sad to see so many die from something that they couldn't really prepare for.

Geeze, I don't watch news much...sorry to hear of the news.

Josh, what gig are in now? Working for TV or newspaper?

 

[Kevin Palmer]

From what the news is saying, they were plentyful...



46 deaths supposedly confirmed at this time.



I guess it could have been worse as three school dorms were reduced to rubble yet no one in the dorms was killed..

 

[Gypsy me]

That is amazing nobody was hurt in those school dorms WOW!

A lot of damage about an hour away from me, but I will be in Memphis later this afternoon. Hit pretty hard. Lots of overturned vehicles on the highway that will hopefully be cleared by then.

I live 15 miles from the Hickory Ridge Mall, where a tornado hit the Sears. I've only seen a few pictures of it so far but it looks like it took out a good chunk of the store. No one I know was injured, thankfully. A large portion of Memphis is up on a bluff that helps divert the worst of the weather around it... that mall is on the southeastern edge of Memphis. My neighborhood looked clear on my way to work this morning... no damage.

I live in the central northeastern part of Mississippi and we had 3 warnings last night. But that's all, the funnels never hit the ground

I am visiting Millington TN (right above Memphis) on business and we had a lot of excitement around here last night. Tornado sirens went off for about 3 hours. There were several that touched down just east of the base, but everyone here was safe.



My prayers are with all those that lost family and property...

My best friend's girlfriend goes to school at Union University in Jackson. Haven't gotten a chance to talk to her yet, but she is okay.
