Hey you made it before me. Then again, you didn't have to drive through rerouted traffic.
I'm here work was tenses for a while .

Haven't heard anything about faire site but from what I have heard it wasn't that far west.

The area where we saw POTC and where FestMum used to live has no power.
The area near Chef Wangs was hit, I don't if It was hit but there's damaged in that area. I just using it for a reference since you know where it is.I drove thompson lane/ murfreesboro rd area lots of damages there.

All is fine here...We had a tornado warning for my area, but nothing happened here.  Heard the news about Murfreesboro not long after it happened, being at work, lots of our customers were talking about it.  Second one in the area in just over a week.  Thanks for checking in on us, Jack, and filling us in on the RenSite, RFP...

On a good note, got my season pass/wristband today. :)

http://www.fox17.com/ showed a map of the area during their reports.  But the graphic is not on their site. The tornado hit a 15 mile path between the Blackman area and Riverview. Blackman midway is between I-24 and the faire site. River view is on the other side of 24.

Thank heavens everyone is safe and sound.  We'll keep our fingers crossed that the weather, and life in general, stays nice and quiet from here on out for all of us.  See you all in THREE WEEKS!

It was hard to get signals for a while. As soon as the tornado pasted people were all turning on their phones, shaking then, flipping them upside down, whatever just to get a signal. The sheriff asked people to stay off the roads and cell phones.
