That one went west of me about 4 miles crossing the Stateline at Chewalla/Ramer. It was pretty intense...local radio reporting trees down and houses damaged from Walnut, Ms, to Selmer, Tn..My Aunt and Uncle in Ramer lost some of their home to the wind but didn’t get a direct hit.

Miraculously, though...no serious injuries.

One person from the mall is in the hospital in Fair condition, and there are three people still trapped in the debris, per mall security.

Scary night. Glad you are OK.

I just heard from my family in Bolivar. All are well. A few trees down in the backyard. Granddaughter at U of Memphis is fine also.

I hope that’s it for them for tonight.
