The toll is at 340 now if not more. I’m near Cleveland TN and we still have friends that are unaccounted for. I work in Cleveland but live in Riceville. When I left work at 4:00 on Wednesday a funnel cloud chased me up I-75 and caught me one mile from my exit. I could see it coming from Chattanooga in my rear view mirror and even though I was running 80mph most of the way it still caught me. I heard later that the wind speed was 102mph. Traffic on the Interstate came to a dead stop but I continued up the shoulder to my exit and parked under the Interstate overpass. We have been to Cleveland to take our generator to family and the devestation is horrible.

We are still finding debris on our farm from as far away as Alabama. A friend of mine found mail from Tuscaloosa and we have found photos, insulation and styrofoam that appears to be from boats.

Funny, I tired to start a new thread with the latest death toll, and it was eliminate. You'd think they'd at least update the title..

BTW, I wish you the best of luck. Times aren’t hard enough, without utter disasters like this.
