Here's hoping everyone made it through last nights storms or today if you are east of me.
We here in Jackson, TN were not so lucky. My house was spared any damage but go about a quarter of a mile down the road and things are bad, watch the news networks they all have reporters here. My wife and the neighbors wife actually watched the tornado go through the next sub division from our front porch. Her husband is a Lt. in the fire dept. and he spent all night pulling students from the dorms at Union Univ.
We actually drove around this morning mostly to check on a few friends that we hadn't heard from yet, and I think we were lucky. After it touched down at Union Univ. it seemed to bounce over whole neighborhoods, but where it did manage to touch down it totally demolished whatever was in front of it. There are houses with both front and back walls gone and some that only one wall was gone but it literally sucked everything out of them. It actually looks like someone went in and gutted these houses, it took everything including the drywall right off the studs. This is the fourth one I've been through in the last six years here in Jackson and you just never get used to the destruction.
