(38,187 posts)6. That is certainly higher on the EF scale that we are used to in
and close to Dixie Alley. Usually, we get them around EF1 to EF3 at most. That one looks like it might be EF3 to EF4. That much destruction is pretty serious.

today's.

I have good friends who live on a large farm in Wilson County near Lebanon. Hope all is well with them. Just texted them. Hope to hear something soon.

warning until 2:45am. Raining now. I live in a motorhome, in a campground just off i40 east. Sleepless in Crossville. Son and granddaughter/family live in White House just outside Nashville. Haven't heard from them. Guessing they're okay
