Ben, looked like this morning there were some tornado warnings in eastern TN... the rain should hit here anytime soon - we're under a high winds advisory. Gusts up tp 35mph! My basketball hoop fell over this morning; looks like a fun evening awaits!
My brother saw what he called a tornado down the street, and as they say it sounded like a freight train. There are trees down in our neighbor hood, but we only have some limbs down. There was a peice of siding in a tree in our back yard. Our house is fine, power was out for about 5 hours.
We had some pretty intense staight line winds here. I went to open the door to be "THAT" guy. The door blew open, then whipped closed. PRETTY COOL!
Anyway we have a few trees down around the area and what not. They closed the highway north of Washington this AM due to debris, trees and lines on the road.
im workin on an oil rig in arkansas and last night there was a thunder storm come through and talk about an awesome show in the sky and yet give ya goosebumps when the lighting strikes when in a few miles of ya and you can feel the ground shake
