Here is info on Storms in middle TN... http://www.tennessean.com/article/2...nary-damage-reports?odyssey=mod|breaking|art2

I talked to my daughter living in Nashville near Franklin which is just north of Spring Hill and she said the storms that went through earlier this evening were pretty wild-- wind, hail, & rain. They were under a Tornado warning at the time but no tornado appeared, thankfully!

I hope your friend's daughter is ok and they hear from her soon. :please:

They had a tornado touch down in Paulding County (Dallas) Georgia and that is where our daughter lives.

Homes damaged, trees down, and power outages but they do not think anyone suffered injuries but they are still assessing the situation. Several planes were flipped over at the airport there.

I talked to our daughter and she said it hit right up the road from where they live.

It is going to be a rocky night for so many people. Please be safe and alert.

I still have power, but no internet so I am posting from my phone. The wind here is so bad that it brought down a traffic light. Lots of wires down. My daughters room is all windows and limbs are coming off trees, so now the baby and the two year old are in our room. I can only imagine how terrified everyone caught in the tornados felt. I've got winds less than half as bad and I'm scared stiff.
 
Nearby WS Evansville lost several power poles to the straight line winds passing through Redbank Rd area, I saved a $100 allowing the winds to trim some branches from our maple tree.
 
Hang in there NMK, just keep telling yourself that the winds have to stop eventually.
 
I can't copy or link, but the front page of CNN is saying 28 confirmed dead in 3 states. 15 in Indiana alone. Marysville. Was the hardest hit. Henry junior /senior.high school was demolished. A 9 year old boy is missing in Marysville. A 20 month old girl was found alone, in a field 20 miles from Henrysville, she was still fighting for her life. Indiana Ntl. Guard has deployed 250 to those towns hardest hit. KY is a state of emergency. They have 12 confirmed dead. West liberty, KY was reporting ppl trapped in damaged buildings. State officials had lost contact with the town. 1 death confirmed in bethel. Ohio. The path of last years Harrisburg tornado and this one were identical.
Can't link any of this from the phone, but its from the 5 page article on CNN front page.
 
crazy stuff.....i missed all the news yesterday and evening but hopefully it will calm down a bit.....i'm in houston and it's been mid 80s all week and muggy but today it is chilly....looks as if the front came in and pushed the warm gulf air back out :waitasec:
 
Violent Storms Kill 31, Death Toll Could Rise

Weather that put millions of people at risk Friday killed 31, but both the scale of the devastation and the breadth of the storms made an immediate assessment of the havoc's full extent all but impossible.

Death toll from twisters rises to 32 in 4 states

Rescuers scour for survivors after string of killer storms

WE made it through the night, and my family is slowly checking in. I have a nephew unaccounted for in KY, a sister, brother in law and niece, unaccounted for in IN. Fingers crossed that I will hear from them by the end of the day. We need a storm area check in thread for WS members, if no one has made one yet.
 
Many many areas recieved damage last night. Some were destroyed. One small town in my area was virtually destroyed last night and that is the one I am going to talk about.

Moscow, Ohio

This isn't Moscow's first brush with weather damage. They sit right on the river and floods have damaged the town before. But they are proud and resilent. They have always picked up, cleaned up and continued on. I don't know anyone in Moscow. But I have met others who live on the river. They are proud and determined and the river is so much a part of their lives that they won't hear of moving away. Floods may come and floods may go, they just rebuild.

But this time instead of waiting and watching and making educated guesses about when the river will go down, their town was destroyed in minutes. Instead of water, this time it was wind. As they took shelter, their homes themselves became missles that could harm them.

The Village of Moscow Ohio..... a peaceful spot on the riverhttp://www.moscowohio.org/

Wikipedia says their 2000 census counted 244 people, 91 households and 64 families living there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow,_Ohio

Reports coming in say that 70 to 80 percent of Moscow was destroyed last night. One of their councilwomen died in her home in the storm last night when her home collasped.
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120302/NEWS/303020168/Tiny-Moscow-takes-direct-hit-from-tornado

What will happen to Moscow now? Will they rebuild or will they move on? I don't know, but knowing the determination they have I have a feeling that if any town will rebuild, this one will.

Many many towns were damaged and some destroyed like this last night. Each with their own stories and their own tragedies. Each woke up today questions, basic questions like what will happen to my family now? Where will we live? How do I care for my family? Each will have way too much to do. Saving what they can, notifying insurance, trying to find government assistance and trying to find a way to cope with what happened to them last night and with the knowlege that moments their whole lives were changed.
Each town and each individual will be changed in ways that we can only guess at.

NMK my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Have you checked here?

We made it out last night. Sirens went off in Helen...just a few miles away but nothing touched down in our county. Prayers for all those affected.
 
Sooner checking in, the storms have missed us, I'm in Oklahoma and they will eventually come through here.

Sending warm hugs and Prayers for all that were affected.
 
this strange weather so early in the year worries me about the gulf coast for hurricane season. With us having basically no winter in the gulf region, what does this do to water temps for the up coming season in 3 months.....will the temps be much warmer much faster because they never really cooled down this winter? I have so many questions....lol
 
Thank you all last night for the sites and ideas for my friend. Finally heard via text her daughter was safe around 10 last night..
 
A baby girl found alone in a field in Indiana after Friday's massive, tornado-spawning storms is being treated in a Kentucky hospital.


A spokeswoman for the hospital in Salem, Ind., where the girl was first taken said Saturday that authorities were still trying to figure out how she ended up in the field alone. St. Vincent Salem Hospital spokeswoman Melissa Richardson says the child's family is from New Pekin, Ind., about 10 miles south of where the child was found.

The little girl is alive but critical.

Death toll in this article says 34
 
Indianna 14 dead
Alabama 1 dead

Each state also reporting injured people.

Above article now updated to read that the death toll is now 35 dead.

Kentucky emergency management officials say another body has been found in south-central Kentucky, raising the state's death toll to 17 people killed by violent storms.

Just for perspective on how crazy the nation's weather really is right now, my sister and her family have to dig out from underneath about 25 inches of snow in WI.
