I hope everyone is alright. Does anyone need any help? Wayne, please report in as I know your area got hit hard.
 
It hit to the north of Wayne and I. The tornado actually touched down very very close to The Jungle. Still waiting on further news, BUT another tornado is headed this way, just was soon as this one passes. :(

I'm in the library at MTSU and they are keeping everyone away from the windows and in the middle of the library. Fortunately, the lab I work in is between two elevator shafts, so we're one of the safest places on campus and we're allowed to stay in here.

Everything has passed now. Indications are of a large tornado. Maybe an F2 or F3. It doesn't sound good for the folks in North Murfreesboro, and possibly The Jungle, too. :(

They are expecting casualties here and have reported multiple tornadoes touching down and doing damage, one reported two blocks from where I am currently. They are also going from home to home right now doing searches. :( This is truly sad. My heart goes out to those who are affected.

Ok, well, Wayne was towards Woodbury and there were several incidents down there so i was concerend. Please keep us posted all.
 
The frag swap location is ok, the storm was about a mile north of the church. It went real close to Chuck!.......Chuck....tell us your ok!
 
Chuck is good. I called him a while ago. He is without power, though, and was also about a mile away from the storm. :)

Glad you're ok, Norman!

I am near the blackman area, and it got hit hard, but we are ok, just without power. Hope it didn't destroy my tank without circulation.
 
John, If you don't get your power back soon you can bring your stuff here If you want to! Hope your safe and didn't lose any property to the storm. If you want give me a call If I can help I will.
 
Hope you're all OK down that way. I grew up around tornados and have seen what they can do.
 
Hope everyone is okay... I called Wayne this afternoon as soon as everything went through (his was the only number in my phone) and he said most everyone managed to be in an area that wasn't directly hit as far as he knew. We're sort of all over the place this weekend, but if anyone was hit by the storms and needs anything, please do let us know, tank related or not. We'll do what we can to help...
 
I've been at work all day and didn't realize how bad it hit murfreesboro until I just watched it on videos. Hope everyone is all right, I used to live in murfreesboro and I remembered there was 3 tornado touch down all the way around my house with us being right in the middle of everything. Within 2 min drive you can see damage all the way around so we were very lucky.....
 
I am really glad to hear that people are ok. I was in an f1 as a kid, very close and it was indescribable. I saw how big that one was on Channel 2 as it happened and oh man, BIG. F3-F4 is what I hear now.
 
My mother in-law lives about 2 miles from The Jungle. Her fence is gone and all of her trees were taken down. Her screened in porch is out of whack but the house is ok. There is no power in that area, and every other house is missing most or all of its roof. I am going back out there today to help clean up. I hope everyone else is safe.
 
I talked to my Daughter this morning and she saw that Tornado start to form in S. H. heading towards Murfreesboro, It already had rotation and was just starting to drop a funnel when she spotted it heading towards the east from S. H. You just never know when these awful storms are going to ruin lives. If anyone needs a chain saw I have one to loan, I would like to help but Physically can not. Hope everyone Say's an extra prayer for those affected by this awful storm.
