Super Tuesday Storms Knock Out Power, Complicate Voting
Severe weather, including a reported tornado, hit Memphis, Tenn., Tuesday, leaving thousands without power and complicating things for Super Tuesday voters at the polls.
At least 11,000 power outages were reported in Shelby County, Tennessee, where Memphis is located, after severe weather swept through the area Tuesday afternoon, reported WAPT-TV in Jackson, Miss.
A 50-foot wall collapsed at a mall in southeast Memphis and a building was on fire elsewhere in the Memphis area, WAPT reported.
Officials also reported that an unknown number of people were trapped in an industrial plant.
A large tornado was spotted at elsewhere in Memphis, said weather officials.

Where was Karl Rove when this occurred? I thought Bush banned him from the WHWM(White House Weather Machine).
About 6 CST it was 35 degrees in mid-Missouri and 70 degrees by the time you hit the Arkansas border. From the radar it looks hotter than hell.
Hope that smiting is sans injury or death.
Not funny at all.
There were many people injured and apparently some killed in Jackson, TN, with Union University hit.
Immediate prayers up.
