Cell north of Corinth MS heading north toward Jackson, TN again...
should be in breaking news! This is going to go on for a few more hours.
but the title needs to change - it’s all over the place
Maybe the thread needs a new name. Hopkinsville,KY is within 25 minutes.
No one seems able to convince the Mods that this is breaking news.
I do think the title should be changed too. Any influential FReepers here reading this thread who can get some action?
maybe a new thread? I don’t know what to do, this is bad
Acresville (sp) KY - big danger right now - TWC
Jackson and Nashville were instability storms ahead of the front. The frontal storms will be severe. It is still 71 in my neck of the woods and lift is good. 3 more dead now reported in KY,TN, and AR (each)
Is there a way to make this title: and to put this in BREAKING NEWS?
Tornado Warnings / Watches over Parts of TN, KY, MS, AL and more now through the night.
12 dead reported so far from these storms.
Fire reported at a natural gas pumping station in Trousdale County
Winds at 71 MPH where you are now?
Where is Trousdale county?
This Memphis station is having live streaming reports:
Trousdale is Northeast of Nashville (I think).
Nah! Keep this one alive. It will keep people awake and that could be your best defense. 3 students still trapped in Jackson but they are not seriosly hurt. Another front started ahead of the Squall. Should be in Nashville area in about 2 hours.
I just posted a new thread - the idea is so people will see it and take cover
Sorry,Temp at 71 causing close gradients with the front.
Opening a shelter in Fairview High School.
OK! FReepers know more than others and I’msure they are aware, but some may not know and just getting in. :^)
Natural Gas Plant on fire in Trousdale Cnty. NE of Nashville, Livestock on the loose (on purpose). Hwy 141 Observers saying flames at 300ft. No help as of yet.
