Post by: DCEPTCN on April 17 2011, 04:15:56 PM: The night before last I drove from Greeneville TN (east of Knoxville) to somewhere west of Indianapolis and was in a torrential downpour the entire way. That was about 9 or 10 hours of the worst rain I've seen in years. One thing I can say is that folks in TN/KY cannot drive in rain for some reason...smash ed cars sitting dead in traffic lanes without any notice is pretty scary. At one point one of my wipers broke from being on for so long so that it reduced my visibilty to zero and looked liked the skinny black arm of a retarded kid waving at me. The day previous I had had a sparrow fly into my grille...after the rain there was little let of him but a skeleton- pretty wierd.

I drove from Enterprise to Nashville today and along I65 N just before Birmingham there was a good mile of so where trees were split in half from a tornado. If I remember going back I'll get a pic. I'm in Nashville for seminar for the next few days if anyone is up this way.

Post by: gn85 on April 18 2011, 01:24:13 PM: We had tornado warnings. There was an F-zero that was confirmed near my parents house. I haven't seen much in terms of damage as I've been driving around, so I guess most folks made out OK.

Good luck to y'all in Carolina.

Hope the latest event was uneventful too.

Kind of scary when the color code them and show you the paths of the tornados that night.
