7. just announced another fatality....reporting 10 now....and more missing

[redstatebluegirl]

8. It is so terrible when they happen at night.

People are sleeping and might not get the warnings. I hope the death toll does not go higher. I hate living in tornado alley.

9. We were waken by the sheer volume of rain....just pouring and blowing like crazy

then we could hear the tornado sirens in the distance.

[redstatebluegirl]

10. We have a weather radio because we can't hear the sirens in our house.

That radio saved us from being hurt in one a few years ago. It took off the roof of our house and if it had not been for that radio we would have been hurt no doubt.

11. I slept through it myself.

Only found out when my phone started blowing up this morning with friends and family checking on me.
Have now added Weather Alert to my phone...

[malaise]

18. Late night/early morning storms are the worst

whether they are tornadoes or hurricanes. but at least we have early notice with the hurricanes.

[spanone]

19. The thing with tornadoes is also the way they bounce around..so hard to predict with any certainty..

where they might strike.

[malaise]

20. I'm totally ignorant about tornadoes

but they sure kill

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. Now 19 dead

A powerful storm moved through Middle Tennessee in the early hours of Tuesday morning, spawning tornado activity that ripped through parts of Nashville and neighboring counties shortly before 1 a.m.

At least 19 people have died in four counties, a grim toll that grew sharply with the announcement just after 9 a.m. that 14 people perished in Putnam County alone. TEMA spokesman Maggie Hannan confirmed the Putnam County fatalities.

State and city officials have said two people have died in Davidson County, two in Wilson County and one in Benton counties.

Officials said a third person in Wilson County died as a result of medical problems.

[Lars39]

21. Death toll is now at 25

[spanone]

22. damn.

[Lars39]

24. I've been watching the coverage off and on all day.

To me it seems this event is far worse then they originally thought, and much worse than any other tornado that’s rumbled through here.

[malaise]

25. Watching coverage on ABC

Unbelievable damage - tonight will be Central Texas

[Stuart G]

23. Horrific, Very Sad.

[Farmer-Rick]

26. Weird. Nashville is hilly and steep

Not the kind of landscape you expect to see tornado in.

When the storms came by us, it woke me and the dog. We went in the basement to wait it out. But we got nothing too bad here in East TN.

Sorry to hear about all the deaths and damage.
