My prayers are with y'all that are in harm's way. My little 4 yr. old grandson is sitting on the floor by me as he is afraid of the thunder. We are expecting severe weather also. But nothing major yet.

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.

Pray for me and my family. My husband and I have a safe room (a small room with concrete walls) but the rest of my family does not and they are several miles away. Nothing happening now, but it's headed east.

Just got a report, trying to verify, Lighthouse in Jackson lost the steeple and part of the roof gone in the back. Can anyone confirm?

I can't yet - our news is only covering Memphis and the upcoming storms.

Sherri lives very close to Union University, but they can't get out of their area - roads are closed.

President of Union University has told Channel 7 or 13? that there are no known fataliites at Union. I hope that is right. ..I think others have reported there were.

There is a "missing person" in the Denmark Community according to Jackson news - but that is not a confirmed fatality..Bye for a while.

I just called our church, and told them, so they could go to the basement.

9:52 PM- Just thunder and rain. Nothing really expected for us RIGHT NOW! It is tracking North of us according to Wayne Hart.

Why couldn't this be SNOW? We've only had about 1 inch the whole winter!

Well, under a Tornado watch until Midnight. Looks like I'll still be up for a couple of hours!

We are under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. However, we just got word of a tornado between near Ripley heading on a line that will bring it near here.
