Torando's

“I woke up to hear about all the tonados this morning, after making all my calls and finding out everyones ok, I thought of my friends here on TT.
So if you leave near one of them that touched down and your ok, please tell us that. i know there are a great many of you that live in Tenn. I hope everyone checks in!”

“I went out and bought a kite...”

“The Tonado was a fine pimpin' car!

right, right!

The sky here(Baltimore) was odd-looking and the atmosphere felt strange.
The sky was black and the air felt heavy.
I says to myself, "This looks kinda like tornado weather."
(I talk to myself a lot)
The only thing missing was that greenish look to the sky along with the blackness.
But the rain held off until this morning.”

“We had a couple pass not to far from here...I don't think anyone was killed.”

“One hit my hometown last night, my parents were outta town thank God. I have to go over there today to check out the damage, if any.”

“Good luck, Buddha Bear.”

“There were some deaths down in Walker county. BAMA lives down there, but in Winston or Lawrence county I think. There was another death in Cullman County, and one more in Cherokee County. Tennessee I'm not as clear on.”

“I think there were three fatalities in Tennessee yesterday.

The line of thundershowers came through here a little while ago but they seemed to have run out of steam.”

“Strong straight line winds in the Memphis area on Saturday night causing property damage with few injuries, no deaths.

Tornadic action in upper Middle Tennessee last night left at least two dead when a moble home was struck.

I understand fully the economic and social reasons that people occupy moble homes. However, I wonder if people will ever learn that they are like a hand grenade in a tornado. They literally explode.”

“I came through Manchester(coffee county)TN yesterday afternoon on our way back from hiking and there were 3 or 4 fatalities there. I must of just missed it.”

“i want to call TownDawg to see if they are ok.
I know that coffee County was hit pretty hard, but i dont know where that is.”

“It is southeast of nashville , halfway to chattanooga.

towndawg lives hour and half west but kinda north of nashville but more west than north..i think i got that right.”

“TD is in Bruceton, just west of the Tennessee River and just north of I-40. Strong thunderstorms through there both Saturday and Sunday night.”

“Morgan and Cumberland Counties (both of which border the Big South Fork Area) were hit pretty hard .”

“The story I read in our paper told of one mobile home being tossed around before breaking apart with people in it. Can't they at least come up with some better way to anchor those things that doesn't cost too much?”

“They can anchor the frame as good as you want, and not too expensively, but the truth of the matter is, after the tornado passes by, all that will be left is the frame. The only real option for trailer dwellers is to have a separate tornado shelter that you go to everytime the weather gets bad.”

“Maybe just a huge foam rubber ball that you climb into until the storm passes?”

“Redneck Maraca? I don't think so, lol...”

“Well one came through about 8 miles north of me this is the one that hit the nursing home in Bells, Tn this was an F2 and one about .75 miles south of me this was an F1. The one in Bells made a mess of things the nursing home received a lot of damage and one house due east of it is now gone. But everyone is all right and no major injuries. The one south of me moves several homes off their foundations, knocked down some trees and trashed a parking lot at Union University and a gas station further east. But all in all we where lucky just property damage.”

“I thought that this thread was about an italien restaurant named Torando's.

These tornados are bad. It seems that a lot of people died this time.”

“We had three confirmed touch downs in Indiana. One was about 20 miles NE of my parents house. I was actually on the road when the line passed. I drove through the rain shaft of one of the non-severe storms and still had 2' visibility. It's kind of strage to have this kind of system this late in the season.”

“The one south of me...trashed a parking lot at Union University...

No, I'll bet that was caused by a bunch of drunks from Lambuth.”

“You say Torando's, I say tonados.”

“hay be nice, i wasnt even out of bed for more then 5 mins. and thats without having coffee!!!~”

“Yet another case for a built-in spellchecker.”

“noooooo, no spellchecker! the typos are too funny. just think of what this place would be like if newgirl had never corned anyone. oh, the horror!”

“Really!

”

“Thanks for the concern Bitpusher. I don't live in Walker County. I live north of it in Lawrence County, near Mt Hope. About 5 miles north of Sipsey. We didn't have a touchdown, but I lost a few shingles due to the winds.

BAMA”

“i just wanted to say once again, thak you for pointing out my mistake. i can always count on you!!



everyone that lives near the tornados, Im very glad to see you are ok. If you find that you are in need of anything please, all you have to do is ASK!! and i will help you out as best as i can! I do hope other will check in too.”

“Mobile environmental testing laboratory = trailor full of glassware. Let's just say work was a little interesting today. It could have been much worse. Thank goodness it was mostly rain by the time it got to our neck of the woods, eh Tilt?”

“I just heard on the news that a town called Mossy Ridge has over 100 people missing. This town is in East Tenn. They said that Mossy Ridge was basically wiped out.
So far there has been 16 deaths and 100's injured in Tenn.”

“I hope everyone on TT is a ok and safe!

8)”

“I think the toll is now up to 30 dead.
this is a horrably way to die”

“Well to get the record correct.
Mossy Ridge, which is not Mossy Ridge but Mossy ?, almost every house was lost. This is in Morgan County, TN. Most people where at church when it hit around 8:30pm. I have hiked in that area many times near Frozen Head.
So far 7 have lost their lives and 14 people are still missing.

Last night here was a very scary night.
Tornado's everywhere around me.
Watching the weather channel and hear them say "to be in Arthur at 7:35pm take shelter now!", that is one mile from my house, is very scary...yes we were in the basement and many trees down right on our street.
I have been in many of these storms and all are the same in your mind. Loss of life is the worst.
On the news one man thought there was a babydoll laying in the water near his home but was a 5 month old child that was torn from a vehicle that was flipped many times and all people were torn from the car. How sad. My heart goes out to the people that lost lives and homes.”

Thanks for updating. I was repeating what they had said on the news. The town is Mossy Grove not Ridge.”

“Yes, Skully, I'll take the thunder and lightning any day!


Glad to hear you folks are okay up there Barb!”

“Glad BAMA is okay...I knew you lived down that way but wasn't exactly sure where.”

“Update on Mossy Grove.
60 homes lost....how sad.
Still have 14 people missing at 11:00pm EST.
