1. I sent spanone a PM

No word yet - I really hope he and his family are OK

I suspect that even if our friends are safe they aren't likely to have power.

2. The weather channel just said off 11th street.

Both houses and huge apartment buildings. They are showing it live.

18. We're fine. Lots of damage to the city. Two killed in East Nashville.

46,000 without power

Came through about 3 in the morning.

Tornado sirens were going off.

The rain was incredibly dense.

Our neighborhood suffered no damage that we can see.

Mostly Germantown and East Nashville.

3. K&R

Thanks for the thread.

8. Okay in Crossville. Just rain. Tornado watch ended at 6am.

Tense night especially so in a motorhome.

9. We're ok

Some of our friends have home damage. One of the neighborhoods we frequent for dinner and shopping has been flattened. It's awful, just devastating.

10. Last night my phone buzzed with the tornado warning at around 12:30

I immediately checked the weather service warnings and saw that it was predicted to come through my community at 12:50. It was an intense night, with heavy rain, wind, hail, and tornado sirens at two different points but I am ok and my house is still here! Electricity is out in my house and neighborhood.

13. Good to hear you're ok, but must have been a scary night.

11. Middle TNer here....we went to basement.

It was bad.

[Tanuki]

12. Btw, TN is a Super Tuesday state and it has affected several of the polling places.

They are designating other places for those voters but I hope people won't be too preoccupied with the post-tornado havoc to vote today. It might understandably be the last thing on your mind when your home has been flattened or a loved one injured.

Powerful before & after photo of Woodland St in East Nashville. So far, 5 confirmed dead. Many more injured or trapped inside collapsed homes/buildings. The amount of damage is unbelievable. Tonight's tornado outbreak has easily become a moment in my career I will never forget. https://t.co/iouVhLIdxK

26. According to MSNBC the death toll is up to 22 and they are still searching the buildings for more.

So sad, I do not look forward to tornado season here in central Oklahoma. I hate those things so much!

[cry baby]

27. Twisters about 2 miles north of me.

Got my wheelchair bound 92 yr old mom with extra O2 tanks in the bathroom in record time while sirens were blaring in my neighborhood. Scary for real.
