Wow, hope is veers out of your way. Stay safe and keep us GW's updated.

Oh no! prayers that you all stay safe🙏

Check in when it's over! And be aware!

Hope you're okay and it bypassed you. My daughter sent me a message a few minutes ago warning me of tornadoes in the area. I haven't gotten any warnings on my phone and after some checking it looks like it is all south of me.

Wow! Do check in and let us know how you are!

An hour later, I hope all is fine. Will you let us know?

A tornado is rare here and smaller if occurring at all. Oddly, right on the ocean, we have little thunder or lightning either. Those times we do have a lightning storm, I'm glued to the windows watching it in awe. I do not join DH with my head under the covers, he hates them.

We had a little lightning a couple of weeks ago. DH had just gone down to the neighbors, man who has 3 havanese and two of those young puppies just a few months old. I was chuckling, knowing between the pups and DH he would have his hands full down there 😊

We have friends with daughter and family in a new home in Oklahoma. There is a storm shelter with access through the garage floor done at time of construction, not uncommon in their neighborhood. I can't imagine.

Please let us know how you fared....

Where are you located, rob333? We are expecting some bad weather here, too,

Oh my heavens that does not sound good ---- stay safe!!

That is truly frightening. Stay safe.

I have long-time friends in Clarksville/Nashville. Eeeeek.

It just skimmed me here, so please go check on your folks in Clarksville. They look like they got hit hard. I'm off to check the news.

Finally have power and cable back. That was freaking scary

There are deaths, if that tells you how bad it was

Glad to hear you're okay. Sounds scary.

Glad your power and cable are back and even happier that you're safe.

Glad to know you are safe.

So there was a North tornado, that hit Clarksville and killed three people.

There was a south tornado that hit Madison, which is over the bridge a couple of miles from where I live, and three people died.

So so bad. Not for me, just scary for me. One of the worst I've experienced in a long long while

Glad to hear you're ok. Hang tough!

Actually I'm still checking things. I see one dead a mile from me, and another dead just over the bridge. I hope that's the last of it, and that those two had nothing to do with the tornado. I hope they died in their sleep, and nobody noticed until now? Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket. 😒

We've made national news

So sad, so scary.

Friends report OK. Her brother is visiting from DFW area, has video from her back yard of a (the?) tornado passing several miles away. Her daughter's neighborhood has damage but not clear if her house is affected.

Glad you’re ok and not in Oz. Sad about the deaths.

Happy to hear you are ok. Sad for those who are not.

"We've made national news"

Also international.

BBC News - Tennessee: At least six dead as tornadoes rip through state

Any type of storm can be deadly. Glad you're OK

We haven't had a state of emergency due to tornadoes in a decade. If that tells you how bad it is. 😢

Glad you're ok.

Glad that it mostly missed you. Very sorry for the loss of life.

I'm just now reading THIS. I had NO idea. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. And...I'm VERY glad your alright. I've heard of tornado alley....and I never thought Winter was tornado season?

Are your friends and coworkers alright too?

Oh my gosh, so glad you are safe. I would have panicked. Keep us posted.

Still waiting to hear about coworker's child's employee. They were missing a husband yesterday evening.

So sad people lost their lives last night. Apparently there were multiple tornadoes in Kentucky too, but no one was hurt. Our governor and his family spent part of last night in the basement acccording to his post on Facebook, due to sirens going off. They're about 15 miles from me.

My daughter used to live in Bowling Green, on a street that was destroyed by tornadoes that killed a lot of people a couple years ago. I'm so glad she isn't there anymore. It's about an hour from Nashville and more likely to get tornadoes than we are in Central KY.

Yeah, I was in my innermost bathroom when I first posted. I heard things subside, and went outside to check it out, and the tornado wasn't done. Immediately to the east, the sky was pitch black and orange, with flash after flash of lightening. Orange ended up being blown transformers. So I was basically watching it pass from Madison to Hendersonville OVER the lake.

March and April. November and December. Those are our worst months.

1974 April. 1989 November. 2011 April. 2023 December. All have been preceded by a very hot day. Yesterday in Huntsville Al was 71 *. It will be in the 20's tomorrow. We have smaller outbreaks all the time. The coverage is much better than it was years ago. We still have deaths, but they are not as many. In 1974 they only had a primitive radar. It inspired the weatherman to start his own company and to invent the stuff we have now. In 2011 the ones covering the weather, I thought they would have nervous breakdown, but they pulled themselveves together and did the job, at least onair..

I think the people in Madison didn't fare as well, because it was really headed for my village, and it always hits us. Instead, yesterday evening, it jagged over to Madison. It's too sad that they lost lives over there.

Glad you are ok. Tornados and any high-wind storms are scary. Sherry, yes, all those storms you cite were awful but we are grateful for the excellent coverage we have around here warning of the locations.

Deep breaths, Rob. So sorry for the deaths and damage, but glad my KT friend is OK.

Easy to breathe now. Not so much with tornado sirens, police, fire, and ambulance sirens, thunder... It was cacophonous. Entire sky lit over and over with fire and lightning. Whew. That was something else being in the belly of that beast of a storm. So glad to be through it.

HUSBAND IS FOUND

Northern route tornado co-worker hasn't been answering because she's been trying to help her children who have the business. They have no power (the entire area is w/o and will be for weeks). She told us at lunch today the husband couldn't get home due to the amount of debris, and his cell wasn't working. Whew!!!!!

Also, I was wrong. It's not their employees' whose homes are affected, it's many many clients who are affected. sad

How terrifying for you, Rob. We are so sorry for the terrible loss of life, We are all grateful you are safe.

All I can say is I am thrilled you are ok and the people who you were concerned about were. So terrifying.
