Tornadoes heading my way
:scared: No warning yet, but the storm cell is heading in our direction. I've got the mattress ready by the door. We don't have a basement.

6. I live in Memphis.
Nasty weather is about to hit us. Still no warning, yet. I'm right by the bathroom, and I put my son's matress in there, so I can grab the kids real quick if I have to.

9. good luck
it is going to be a long T season this year we already have had a few yesterday. Just keep a weather radio with good batteries handy because if it comes close power will be the first to go.
