The beauty of the situation is that, since you-know-who has made it clear that he is always too busy and important to concern his august self with disaster relief, coverage of such tragedies will be tamped down on the MSM.

Unless, perhaps, a Democrat governor or black mayor decides to hold his feet to the fire...

My girlfriend’s parents live there. Houses on each side of them where damaged and their yard is full of debris. All we know now.

I grew up in Tornando country...now in earthquake country...prayers for all those impacted.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Tornado country-—geez.

Prayers for all touched by these tornadoes and all that are helping the victims!

This tornado outbreak started here in East Texas last night. Damaged at least two towns in our county. We were without power for nearly four hours -- and we live on a main rural highline that serves a quarter of the county.

Prayers for the folks who have been hit or are still in its path!

I grew up in earthwake country, now Tenn. I’ll take those prayers

Sitting here at work, watching it come in from the west. It’s been twilight all day - doesn’t look to get any better.

Good Friday Outbreak - I hope it doesn’t become a historical term.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Getting dark here in Oak Ridge, Tennessee - street lights just came on.

[Paved Paradise]

Prayers.

Watching East Tennesse at Weather.Gov - warning red popping up all over the place. Looking kind of green outside.

We're getting rain, moderate winds and some lightning here in Knox County...as of 5:44 PM EST.

There goes the rolling thunder. It looks ominous.

I'm near the Anderson/Knox/Union line. Looks like we escaped a lot of it. The way they talked about 45 minutes ago a tornado was headed my way but it looks like it's pretty well died down. I sure can't gripe about the rain though. Rain patterns are getting back to normal finally. We're finally out of the drought as of this week I think. Clouds breaking off now around here.

I remember the Union and Grainger county tornado in the 1970's. It started out on Chuck Swan managed area in the Pond Hollow area and went all the way across through Washburn climbing the ridges. Very unusual. And the Mossy Grove tornado in Morgan County about 10 years ago was a real bad one. TEMA couldn't even reach them that night.

[Semper Mark]

I’m on the Knox/Sevier/Jefferson County lines.

It seems to have passed over us now. I’m surprised to still have power. I’m grateful that the predicted bad stuff missed you guys too. Thank God.

[cva66snipe]

Yea up your way White Pine used to get quite a few of them. I watched one forming up above me right over my house once. No mistaking it either.

WBIR still showing Murfreesboro man what a mess.

[Semper Mark]

I worked on East Emory Rd. for some years and that area for some reason was a magnet for tornado's.
