Probably too soon to talk about it, we should just send thoughts and prayers.
OT: Off Topic.

warnings got out too late. a pretty poor job by the weather folks of predicting it as well...

Channel 5 had some reporters out showing damage.
Seeing Germantown and parts of East Nashville very heavily damaged.
The Basement East is almost demolished.
I really hope not, but I bet the ballpark took some damage.

I know that they said some strong storms could come through, but no one really said anything about tornadoes. I didn't really even know anything was happening until I heard Darren on the post game show say something about the weather.

yeah there was a little chatter but nothing to make anyone think that a tornado like that was coming through..

Hey! You suck!
Yeah when I watched the news tonight they said it was a slight chance but didn't really make it sound like it was anything to worry about.
Hope everyone is ok.

40+ buildings collapsed.
i am guessing the numbers and fatalies will continue to go up till tomorrow morning. it touching down right before 1 am is what makes it even more dangerous.

Hey! You suck!
The news will likely get worse in the next couple of hours as daylight comes and the full extent is revealed.

Yeah I'm sure it will. Apparently I-40 going east of Nashville is completely shut down as well.

Man, this looks awful. Germantown got nailed hard, damn. I am staying there at an AIRBNB in a few weeks, sent the guy a message today to see how he is.
We heard some chatter about tornados while at the game last night. Didn't see anything on our weather app so went to bed without thinking about it. I know these things are tough to predict but it would be nice to know they go back and look at data to see if they could have done a better job getting the word out before people went to bed last night. Leverage it for next time.
I’m in west nashville and heard the sirens go off. I did not hear any roaring and my cats were behaving normally so I went back to sleep. 
I had no idea what happened until I turned my phone back on this morning.
Prayers for everyone affected. I bet the Preds do a fund raiser at Thursday’s home game.

idk, I watch local news multiple times throughout the day. They started with a low risk of Tornado in the days leading up, and about mid-day yesterday elevated the risk. Originally called for the system to move through between 10-12, then updated it to between 12-2, and repeatedly warned viewers to stay vigilant and be prepared.
The storm didn't have a long history to track either, it only really started forming in the Missouri bootheel, and then still only had en elevated risk of tornado, far from a certain thing. The formation didn't lead up to Nashville either, it formed on top of Nashville and moved through EN within 6 mins and into Lebanon within 20 mins.
So, idk what else anyone wanted to forecasters to do. They said be prepared between 12-2 and that's exactly when it hit, if you didn't heed the warning, that's nobody's fault but your own.

RIP Steve
Talked to my friends who live just east of the river on a bluff just south of Two Rivers Park in Donelson Hills, said it was scary as they hunkered down in their basement. His business does not have power this morning but they are all safe. Hope everyone here and their loved ones are OK.
