Legacy Sports to invest $350 million in Murfreesboro with new facility
Paywall for the DNJ, but also... WTF??? This is one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" things, but a 6000 seat hockey arena in Murfreesboro?

Hey! We suck!
I can see it. Murfreesboro has exploded plus you may have MTSU that may make use of it as well in the future. It will also pull from areas around it where going to Nashville is just too long of a haul.
This looks great. I'm just trying to envision how insane it's going to be routing traffic in and out of that place, especially during rush hour.

Under the gun from a "massive, extremely dangerous" tornado that has apparently already demolished Mayfield KY. Pray for us folks up here if you're the praying type...
@AnalogKid hope you and yours are ok
Edit... passed about 5 miles south of me. But hearing reports of lots of damage to several towns south and west of here.... scary night

Mayfield, Princeton, Dawson Springs all took direct hits
Glad you are ok.
Edit: just saw this on Twitter
Hope everyone is safe and well. Scary and rough night for many, I’m sure. We had it very mild here in Gallatin.

We got a ton of rain here in Shelbyville but as far as I know everything else is ok. Prayers go out to everyone affected.

It's been brutal. Mass casualty protocol at my hospital. When I got there at 5 am the ER had 70 patients waiting to be seen. I sewed up several faces and fixed a broken nose and things are settled enough that I could come home.
Heard the siren and my cats were awake so I sat in my safe place for a bit. Didn’t hear anything alarming (freight train sound) and went back to bed. Prayers all those affected and their families, sounds like it was very bad up in KY.
Ironically, my cats didn’t wake up when the tornado passed 5 miles from house.

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
Yes, no damage to the house, power is on. I've talked to a few who had no power earlier but it has been turned on since then.
I had stayed up til 1:30 ish and then dozed off. I'm not sure what woke me up--the hard rain, the wind or my phone alarm going off to inform me of imminent danger. I heard the winds were clocked at ~ 80 mph at the airport and I don't live far from there. I checked Severe Weather on twitter and once it said danger for Davidson Co was past I went to sleep--only to be awakened by the tornado sirens. But we had no damage and are safe. Finally went to sleep at 6 AM.

I can't believe that Bowling Green was hit again! That Corvette Museum had a sink hole a few years ago that swallowed up a few cars. Now they get hit by a tornado.
My prayers are with the stricken communities in Tennessee and Kentucky. Even though the tornado below didn't hit me, it was close enough that I will never forget that day. I hope that the survivors get counseling, they may need it.
I was near the Xenia, Ohio tornado back in April (3?) of 1974. The sky turned black, which didn't worry me on my paper route. Then it turned green like the ocean and that scared me big time as I had never seen or heard about that happening before. I heard ambulance sirens wailing for at least an hour from my home. The were coming down Highway 49 (Salem Avenue) about 2 blocks from my house, so I walked over to the intersection with Hillcrest, which was my walking path to get my high school. The ambulances came from all these little towns to the north and west of Dayton. Most of them I had heard of, some of them I had never heard of in my 14 years. About 100 people died in Xenia, which is east of Dayton. (Wikipedia says 32, but from the beginning I heard that the death toll was suppressed) The funnel laid down like a giant lawnmower and ran over the town. The same tornado hit Saylor Park in Cincinnati, 70 miles to the south west. Our branch counselor warned us about it while we were waiting for the papers to arrive. That tornado ran for a long time to the northeast. It hit Xenia instead of Dayton. Xenia looked like a bombed German city after WWII. The old stone courthouse and the Greene County Hospital building survived, but most of the downtown area was flattened.
Channel 7 in Dayton won an award (local Emmy?) for their news coverage. They had enough video tape taken from their news chopper for a 2 hour TV special. CBS used their footage for the national coverage.

That same 1974 tornado came through my hometown. Fortunately it only touched down for a minute and then went back up in the air. Really fortunate for me since when it did touch down it hit the building next to me dads office and he was in it. A bunch of bricks fell on a client's brand new truck parked outside. Crazy day. Wiped out Brandenburg KY later that day.

Hey! We suck!
For as many tornadoes as we have in this part of the country its a wonder we haven't seen more of these. Generally ones big enough to wipe out hole towns are the kind you see further west in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.
I'm getting older and my memory isn't what it used to be but it just feels like these larger and more impactful tornados are shifting our direction more frequently now. Just like it feels like the winters aren't as cold when I was younger.
Armourboy
Hey! We suck!
They aren't but some of that is because we had some of the coldest winters on record when we were younger. If you are somewhere around 40 those winters weren't actually normal, they were actually colder than average. That's the reason basing climate off of what you have seen isn't the best way to go about it. We literally set records in the 80's.
I didn’t see dive the data here but it does basically match with my memory. I think the day counts probably tell the story better than the averages.

Whatever came over Hendersonville, came about 1/2 mile from my house.
I stayed up because I knew it was going to be bad storms, but I was falling asleep and woke up one time, heard it raining and put on the news. I saw one cell and I thought oh that's going to the south of me, but then they put the radar on the northern cell and Hendersonville was in the red-dead center of their cone. And when the one girl started saying street names in my neighborhood I gathered a few things, cleared out a place in the hall closet (I don't have a basement) and waited. I could hear the wind and rain and it sounded like an airplane going over. The power and lights flickered about 3 times and then everything went silent. I looked back at the tv and the rotation had passed to the other peninsula. I went outside a little while later and I could hear the tornado sirens from Old Hickory still blaring. They didn't stop for at least an hour after the storms passed.
Today I went down to Lock 3 and there were a bunch of trees down and some of the personal docks were collapsed into the water. There was some metal sheeting that was wrapped around some trees and sign posts. There was a lot of debris in the water. The lake water had covered almost the entire beach area. It wasn't as high as the 2010 flood, but it was pretty close to that.
A few streets down from there had a lot of damage. Lots of trees and power lines/poles down. I didn't go over to the Indian Lake peninsula but I heard it was bad over there, too.

Yeah what interesting is going back and looking at the reports they have from way before the 50's. You'll see some crazy stuff and alot of it will mimic what you see now.

Christian County and Todd county Amish folks took a lot of damage in the Pembroke and Trenton areas. I work with a lot of those folks and it is just heartbreaking.
Insane how one night has pretty much changed an entire region.
