MULTIPLE TORNADOS HIT MEMPHIS !!!

I knew when I left for work this a.m at 0600 and it was 60 degrees- it started storming really bad... and the tv just reminded me to make an emergency kit; Guess I will. Multiple tornado's have hit Memphis -and I'm headin' down to Memphis town in two days. They have round two and round three of tornado's heading into Memphis in the next few hours. Tornados' are heading into Nashville right now -then into our area. I'm going to bed. Certainly not to rest easily. Lovely, don't'cha think. I went to bed once under these conditions before April 8th, 1999, I woke up and it was April 9th, 1999 and a tornado had hit my area.....it was ugli. Veri ugli.

and they say it's only just begun:
