    40 buildings damaged so far, 9 reported dead. so sad. 7 different tornadoes,(3 in TN, 3 in MO, 1 in KY) the one in nashville stayed on the ground for around 10 miles running along I-40.

    Hard to see but this is the tornado moving thru nashville. Watch the cranes shift in the wind (left unlocked so the wind doesn't make them fall.. like in dallas last year) and the power arcs and going out. such power.

    Downtown Nashville has been hit before, not too many years ago.

    Sometimes it's the simple things you find in response to a disaster. Half of this building is gone but the mural remained. It's going viral already.

    It must've come pretty close to Vanderbilt - possibly just a little north.

    Not sure where that pic came from but it looks like a car in a parking lot on the other side of that building. If you zoom in you can see that is taken through a breezeway and you can see parts of the other cars around it.

    My nephew's (State grad) apartment complex got hit too. Just moved there to take an engineering job. It shook his building and he saw stuff flying around outside his window right before his window busted. He said he dove under the bed to take cover and still felt like he was about to be sucked out of his window. He was pretty shaken last night but God was looking out for him. Thankfully he's ok. Out of a place to live for a few weeks, but otherwise ok.

    Welcome to Nashville buddy!!!

    I completely understand you being mad at yourself, but nobody was expecting tornadoes of that magnitude that night. Environment was marginal for even producing tornadoes. That storm was so strong it modified the environment around it and changed it from marginal to very supportive of tornadoes. In 20 minutes it changed the surface winds from the SSW to the SE which increased shear and helicity. I think it also bumped up the CAPE a little, too.

    Really nice area through there with a lot of beautiful older homes and Oak trees ... I went to Lipscomb and know the area well. We have property and family in Cookeville about an hour East of there and they lost friends ... 77 still missing
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.
