Nashville tornado

Have a nephew that hasn't check in yet. He is officially on the missing list. His daddy on the way there. Prayers please.

Hope he's OK, Joe. Those sounded like terrible storms.

 

[redneck joe]

Nevermind, round safe. He did lose his phone and being a millennial doesn't know anyone's phone number by memory.

That's good, Joe. Fatalities are up to 22, my God.

Great news Joe.

Crazy morning here in the Mid-State for sure. Damage assessments are still forming up, and they expect the casualties to go up. 73,000 without power right now. But folks are working really hard to get things under control quickly, and neighbors are stepping up fast to help out.

Glad you checked in, SK. I kept checking to see if you were online.

 

[southkogs]

Thanks GA. Busy morning, lots of folks checking on us - and I was watching close to see if I needed to get out of the office and go help (I do some disaster help kinda' stuff). Took me a while to get my day into "normal."

And I'm pretty fortunate to have a "normal" today.

Glad you're OK!

Good to hear, all ok
Cookeville got hit pretty hard as well, there are FB post showing damage but have not heard if there were any deaths.

It woke me up at 1:20AM as it came through

Just found there are 16 dead in Cookeville

Yeah ... Cookeville really took it. That's where the greatest concentration of damage is, as well as deaths. Lots of stuff mobilizing right now.
