Ping me if you hear more. My Dad lives Hacks Cross Road
No lost there!!!!!!!!!!1
My aunt is in a retirement community a few blocks from that Sears. I better try to call, but most likely they have them in the hallway.
Wow. Hope this isn’t a major disaster for Memphis.
So scary. My daughter and whole family are in Bolivar, Hardemon Cty. Looks like the tornadoes are going straight up 60 from Memphis to Jackson.
Prayers, please!
I will.
Thanks. So far so good. I called my Dad. He said at the moment it is looking better.
Let me know if they go near Highway 18 South betw. Bolivar and Memphis.
From Stormtrack website:
Murray, Kentucky looks to be in serious trouble now! Very strong couplet heading straight into Murray.
Just north of there, add Benton, KY to that as well. Possibly two large tornadoes on the ground within 25 miles of each other!
The neighborhood Walmart in Barlett, and houses on the western leg of 385 have been hit.
Glad to hear!
Actually, I think that the storm is west of Jackson, but you never know how these things will go.
