Good news is that I think most of this mess will miss Memphis barely just to the south :-)

The timing couldn't be worse. Many folks in the path will be sleeping and possibly not even aware what's happening.

I agree! The police departments down there are reporting a lot of major damage. Many businesses and homes have been completely destroyed. Early reports indicate that Trussville, Alabama took a direct hit by this massive twister. I am fearing the worst.

You'd think they would have learned something from the mass destruction last year.   :-k
