Nothing in my area but my inlaws live in the 'boro and had us all in panic mode for a couple of hours until everyone could check in. A few trees were down and everyone is ok.
Checked on Kevin [KDPate] yesterday and he's ok.

We got a few trees that got hit, almost damaged the horse barn, lost some shingles off the house as well. The tree that fell barely touched it, had it been one of the bigger trees in that same area I would have been SOL. I'll try to get some picks of it this afternoon and post them. Wind can be a powerful force that's for sure.

Ironically I grew up in tornado alley(well the southern fring of it in Dallas) and I haven't had this type of damage til I moved up here.

Just got back home from Knoxville and no damage to report here. Tornado started only a 3/4 mile from my house Got a chance to see some of the damage and it is just unbeleivable; the TV videos don't do it justice. They have several areas blocked off by MPD and THP due to rubberneckers. Just type in "Murfreesboro tornado" on you tube if you want to see some incredible footage.

Just wanted to drop in and say hello. My 4 years in TN ended last summer when my wife and I moved to AZ (back to AZ for me).

The in-laws house in M'boro got a little bit of damage, but the worst was downed trees. The house across the street under construction ... not so lucky. They're near Memorial & Osborne.

I hope everyone is doing ok and the damage suffered was minimal.
