Good - saw your post on that other thread.

You’re right - people needed to be aware before they went to sleep tonight.....sheesh.

I am about to drop off to sleep too.

Storm chaser? Hmmm. That would be sort of interesting...but the devastation afterwards....isn’t.

Oh we had a tornado here (Raleigh NC Area) I think in 1986...killed 4. Flattened a KMart out on Highway 70. Hop skipped and jumped through North Raleigh - hit a subdivision which is where the 4 were killed. Came on the Sunday after a very warm Thanksgiving weekend. When I walked outside that night - I KNEW a storm was about to hit.

Night looked “green” - humidity was almost like a blanket - and it was just too quiet. Told others a tornado would hit. Sure enough it did - but not in our area.

Have always been able to “smell” snow before it fell....and sensed that tornado coming.

But NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING prepared me for Hurricane Fran.

After that I vowed if another Hurricane was heading for RAleigh, I would leave town as soon as it looked that way.

Well - enough. Prayers for KY, TN, all til I fall asleep.

Looks like the people in Jackson were hit maybe the hardest. But that fire in Nashville - not good.

Hope it dies down in the night...and over into our state tomorrow stays calmed down.

Night all.
