Two local highschools and some residential areas have already been damaged. We're supposed to get hit again in a couple hours.

Also hearing 13,000+ people in my county and the county to the west are without power.

About 200 homes in the area destroyed/damaged today, but I haven't read about any deaths or serious injuries. The afternoon storms pretty much avoided us and went through the northern part of the county, which is what happened last April. Still have 30,000+ people without power.

All of the schools were closed by noon (including mine, which doesn't happen), which I can't remember happening because of storms before. Last year still has everyone scared shitless.

From the guy who runs Alligatorarmy site:
Sorry for the delay in posts, but the area where I live (Chattanooga) has been hit with
tornadoes all day long. Well, at least since 1:00pm. Just got internet back about ten minutes ago.
I was hoping to get some track and field posts done today and a few others.

Don't worry though, I'm good and so is the living quarters. I did lose a few outdoor items (charcoal grill,
fishing poles and sadly, my Gator flag) but I have collected various items from other houses.
At approximately 1:04pm, there was a tornado which touched down about 20 feet from the house and
ravaged all surrounding areas except for my neighborhood. Eight neighborhoods (out of nine, with mine
being the ninth one) in the area are completely gone.

The storms aren't even over yet. I will say though, that last year I went through the same thing (you know,
think University of Alabama) but on a smaller level. Still though, the sound of a tornado is indescribable.
A jet-engine, combined with a freight train and throw in some random sounds ... I guess. Oh, and I saw a
complete house (aside from the foundation) fly through the air for about a mile (local news estimate) and just
crash to the ground. Scary stuff.

I hope all of our readers and everyone else out there are taking appropriate measures for the weather.
Good luck and be safe everyone.
