1. Midtown is the best part of Memphis --
culturally, not socially. Hope they all make it through this okay.:scared:

The weather guys on WREG are saying they do not see a tornado. Some funnel clouds but no tornado according to them.

6. those hailstones look like huge cloves of garlic!
great pictures.

we're having the 4th siren warning of the day where I am, but a front is heading in with even worse weather - which means you'll see it too, tomorrow.

7. midtown and most of Memphis is out of danger
But north and south, lots of action.............

Some factory had a roof blown off. That is all I heard so far. But they did preempt most of the American Idol finals.
