Sorry, I did overstate the death toll from last weeks' storms, it was only 12 souls lost during this go-round, which doesn't in any way diminish the tragedy...many more were injured, including a mother who shielded her young children from flying debris with her own body, suffered a broken back, & will likely be a permanent parapalegic...an extraordinary act of bravery, & an ordinary act of motherhood, IMO...

...I guess the higher number had come from the similar storms that hit west TN only a week earlier...

With all the wreckage and this being a big college town, no one was killed, thank G-d!

there was one fatality in the county southeast from here, the person was in a trailer home.

A fried of mine who still lives there sent me some pictures too. Looking at all of those places that I recognize that have been destroyed just gives me chills. I'm just glad it was things that were destroyed and not the people.

Amen! As bad as the loss of "things" can be, it's the people that are most important.
