Default Major Storms

Just wondering how people have been weathering the major storms that are hitting the South today.

I'm here in Murfreesboro, TN, and we've been hammered. Houses gone, businesses destroyed, and damage all around.

Yeah. I just got a more detailed report from around here. We had at least 4 tornados touch down within the county, dozens of homes are completely destroyed, a lot of local businesses are shut down, there were 35 injured, 7 criticals, and two deaths, which was sad because it was a mom, and her 9 week old daughter. EMS crews are serching the houses, because they think there are still some more people trapped, and powers out over a large area.

Sorry to hear 'bout all the bad luck guys.


We got alot of rain last night...
The rain seaped through the top of the door like it wasn't even there. ... all over the dash, speakers and seat.
This is about the 5th time in two years its happened. But I can never replicate it w/ a garden hose.
