You've got them I take it? Must be scary.

We've got about 2-3 waves of storms coming thru too. Already have 3 tornado warnings for counties west of us..coming straight for us. But I sure as hell ain't staying up waiting; I'm going to bed and let the hubby stay up and watch the weather!

crickey, good luck sleeping!!!

Let me add that I'll probably go to bed fully clothed in case a dive down into the basement is required.

we are getting the lot this week ....severe thunderstorms and thick fog one minute ...50 freakin degree's the next and now an ice storm followed by snow .....its all gone crazy

Scouse Express

I think we're getting the heaviest amount of snow that we've had since I've been here. It's really coming down on us. I know it's nothing compared to what our friends in the Mountains get.

I went out and fired up the snowblower, this morning, for the 1st time in 3 years. It started 1st go....thank goodness!

I'm letting Mrs. Express use my 4x4 Chevvy S-10 so as she can get to work without any problems.

I feel really sorry for those in the path of Tornados. That's really scary!

CNN is saying there is a tornado moving on downtown Nashville. Kind of odd for this time of year.

Scouse Express

Won't be the first one to hit Nashville. One went through about 8 years ago, causing massive damage.

I hope you are all safe and it isn't as bad as it seems..

Bluegrass Lass

Yes, I remember that one. I believe it also happened during this time of year.

If you're in the path just remember that while it may seem unlikely - you CAN be hit by one! I was in '99.

My apartment complex (torn down afterwards) is pictured here:

Just listen for the sirens and for goodness sake take cover if one is coming.

Thats what I am doing for the wife/dog

That one was very beneficial in many respects to the area I now live in

It messed up a lot of houses in the ghetto (east nashville) that owners had no insurance on - even 5 years ago the place was still a scary shithole and some places still are

banks foreclosed since owners couldn't afford to rebuild and artists/gays/musicians moved in

i live in the area in a 1910 victorian that was a crack house 8 years ago
