wow!!!

[yesfanstill]

me and my dad was stor m casing we wear right at the side

[theappletons]

Thank you for the compliment. I was nervous and the ol adrenaline was pumping, plus they were saying there were two funnels, so I was looking for the other one, and talking to my neighbor on the phone. I wish I had more opportunity to film weather. I work in law enforcement and take a Vado to work with me just in case.

I survived this tornado, i live in indian creek and i live right behind the houses that were destroyed. its been about a month but im still not over it.

[animerox1995]

were u amazed or scared? and how many tornadoes hit Tennessee cuz Tennessee is my dream state so yeah

[theappletons]

I was amazed, and I was worried that the thing would turn and head towards my house. I heard on the two way radio that there were two tornadoes so I was worried about that too. From what I've read online, only 3 tornadoes take place in middle Tennessee each year. Unfortunately Murfreesboro has had two tornadoes in a three week span.

[lanegjones]

dont believe the stats ,like you said m' town had 3 in a week.JUST REMEMBER ALWAYS HELP IF YOU CAN WITH MONEY OR JUST VOLUTEER SOME TIME TO HELP CLEAN UP!!!I promise good luck will follow you for your services

[theappletons]

Very good advice. I plan to do just that!

[animerox1995]

yeah at least it didn't hit ur house and 3 thats not bad so i am going to live in tennessee and go to college in tennessee when i move there that is

[daziedgirl]

That is so not true do more reading. I have lived here 25 years and can name many of times when more than 3 have hit the whole state in a year. In fact they are now saying Tn is part of tornado alley with the highest tornado fatality toll last year with a 150+ people. Stay away from M'boro though bc they are more prone to them along the Jackson Tn area.

[Bororeed]

The state averages 16, so if you were to break it down into the 3 Grand Divisions, that'd be an average of 5 per GD. However, most occur in W and Mid. TN. Murfreesboro was hit by 3 in a 1 week and 6 day span of time, 3/28 and the 2 on 4/10. The 3rd was a small, EF-1 on the far SE edge of the city about a hour after the EF-4.

[theappletons]

That's right, I lumped the damage on Bradyville Pike with the rest of the damage, thus the third tornado.

[theappletons]

glad to hear that it didn't hit your house. I would guess that you're in Texas.

[lanegjones]

if you didnt beleive in god i bet you do now

[theappletons]

I've believed in God for as long as I can remember. I thank God for being spared.

[lanegjones]

glad to see you guys didnt get hurt,ive seen 2 and its pretty insane

[theappletons]

thanks. it's too bad you couldn't just see them out in the countryside and not in urban areas.

[g0dsp3lls]

so it didnt actualy hit ur house?

[theappletons]

no, it did miss my house. I would say that after looking at the damage nearby, it was a mile or so from me.

[g0dsp3lls]

lol just today a tornado hit our town....maybe i jinxed it o.O :( it didnt hit my house though thankfully

[wwjoshdew]

I live near the Church St and 231 area and it didn't touch us. So many streets and areas are blocked off. its sad to see so many homes destroyed...

[theappletons]

It is sad for sure. Lucky that we had fewer fatalities although the two we had are sad.

[G33KChik]

lol, you were talking on the phone with me when filming! thanks for posting and thanks even more for keeping us safe! :o) -amy

[theappletons]

No problem. At first I couldn't tell which way the tornado was going so I definately wanted to call you guys.
