Just reported 86 injuries and some deaths in Jackson. Reports still coming in.

Luckily, the mall that was hit here in Memphis only had a few injuries and so far no deaths reported.
I heard that some students were trapped in a dorm at Union University and damage near Northside High and near University Parkway.

I just saw that there was 4 and a half inch hail!

I read this thread backwards....Sorry to be repetitive...They said some men in the commons area are being rescued now. I'm glad Sherri and others are OK.

They just announced that classes are canceled for the rest of the week at Union University..They are showing houses that were destroyed in North Jackson. Downtown was hit a few years ago. ...Downtown looked like they had been bombed. I can't recall what year that was.

I hate snow but in my book summer storms and tornadoes are worse. As a rule snow doesn't sneak up on you.

I just watched the weather channel and a tornado touched down in Jackson. Hope everyone is OK. It looks like TN is in for a rough night.


We had 4" snow today and more coming tonight. Lots of events canceled tonight and schools are already closing for tomorrow.

Sis, I hate to alarm you, but your brother is at the parsonage with the pastor. I assume they will join us here as the storms draw closer.

Just talked to girls from my Sunday School Class who live in downtown Greenville. They were in their basement when the "apparent" tornado went over. Said they started to pray and all was quiet. They have no electricity, but, THANK GOD, they are safe!

Looks like another storm is going to be North of Madisonville in just a couple of minutes. They have missed us all the way around tonight. After the F-4 a couple of years ago...we are all a little "skiddish" here. But, so far just rain.

According to the weather reports we won't be out of the woods until around midnight.

Beth

Sure - as long as I have power to know what's going on too.
