OT: Did Anyone Get Hit by the Tornado in Memphis?

It was a very big tornado storm. I got lucky I didnt get hit by the tornado. Did anyone get hit or was anybody in the path of the tornado?

The sky outside was very scary to say the least. There was one scenario when the lightning struck in my neighborhood. The color was green. I thought that the tornado was going to start there and do it's damage. By miracle, it bypass my neighborhood and hit the Hickory Ridge Mall and that DTS warehouse. Unfortunately two ppl died and several people were injured in the tornado. Scary day in Memphis today.

Was crazy out my way. I work in Collierville and live in Olive Branch. Fortunately the storm passed to the north of us.

eek bad night...but this might sound dumb but the grizzlies can really get some fans if they go out there and hep out. It worked wonders for the titans.

A caravan like the Titans do in the spring and summer time. It's a good idea to promote the team regularly during the offseason.

As for the storm. I'm glad to heard everybody is doing good in the aftermath.
