The really bad stuff parted around our house kinda like the Red Sea.  Since
we have no basement, it was a little scary.  We were trying to be nonchalant
so the kids wouldn't pick up on the concern, but our house is a stone's
throw from the Civil Defense/Tornado siren.  That wigged out the wee ones
something awful.

I don't know what it is like in TN, but around here, if the sky takes on a
greenish cast...grab Toto and run for the cellar!

The last time it was this bad up here was in April, 1965.  Bunch of folks
got killed then, but that was before the NWS siren system.  I don't ever
remember tornadoes in November in this neck of the woods.

How far from Memphis is that TN town that got whacked?

We had about 30 minutes of rain lightning and strait line winds. Tore some
limbs and street lights down. A 2" limb about 14' long was sticking straight
up from ground about 25 ft from the tree.
