TENNESSEE TORNADOS

I am interupting my I Love...series to post a bit about what is now national news. There were several tornados to tear through the state of Tennessee this week. The sirens began to blow around 4:15 p.m. and remained on for about four hours. About an hour and a half later, they came back on and rang for another hour or so. I think we as Southerners are jaded to storms. Just as those from the midwest are jaded to snow. We all kind of know what to expect and just hunker down and get through it. Unfortunately, some people in Memphis did not get through this storm. My prayers are with their families. It's been a stormy couple of years for me (there's the whole Hurricane Katrina thing). But, I am grateful for my safety from this week's storms. My friend Regi sent me these photos and I decided to share them. This tornado damage is about 10 miles from my house.
