I was in Franklin, just south of Nashville. I recall we were cut off from Nashville that afternoon - at least everyone was hunkered down. And this was before today's extreme panic mode whenever bad weather hits.

At my kids' schools, they are herded into the halls to cower in fear every time there's a strong rain. While I do give a healthy respect to dangerous weather, I refuse to die in fear!

So far, appropriate warnings have been given, we will see what happens later. Bad stuff is due to hit the Nashville area around noon.

Yeah, I remember tornado drills from my childhood as well. Of course back then they were also duck and cover drills related to the cold war, but they didn't tell us that part. Tornadoes were scary enough!
