I can't imagine how terrifying that would be. One minute, a normal storm is going on outside, the next you'd hear a massive amount of noise as that thing shredded everything in sight. If you are lucky you have somewhere safe to hide.

Daytime tornados are scary. Can't imagine how frightening at night.

Drai and Davy must have been doing laps around the city on their rollerblades...
Neal added the -20 weather.

This thing passed by the airbnb I'm staying at for a stag next month by like 200m, hoping the house is ok. I mean obviously it would be crappy to find a new place but I've dealt with the guy who owns the place and I'd feel awful for him if his house was damaged. Pretty serious situation over there right now.

Wife's cousins were in town to watch the Oilers (black sheep of the family). Sounds like they flew home today, as scheduled.

A couple of colleagues were also in town and flew out today, also as scheduled. They were a few blocks away from touchdown and were evacuated from their rooms and waited anxiously with the rest of the guests in the lobby and ballrooms. They wound up being fine. Must have been scary.

You can see the weather to the north and west of Nashville when the Oilers and Preds charters flew out after the game.
