i also lived their and it was the day before my 13th birthday it came two houses down from us it hit my friends house

[BassSingerNC]

Is this part of tornado alley ?

i always thought it was oklahoma and the central states that got the tornadoes

[bookworm1960]

@BassSingerNC Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska get the MOST tornadoes, but they can happen anywhere in the world.

And waterspouts are tornadoes that occur over water.

There are tornado sirens in plenty places in Murfreesboro mtsu city square

[someguy4421]

we need tornado sirens in rutherford county (where murfreesboro is) we have no warning system at all

[killerfurball]

@someguy4421 the county itself doesn't but MTSU does, managed to get a picture of the thing on my cellphone before they forced us into the stair wells.

I heard that this tornado rated EF4

[ozzypossum]

half of these homes in these pictures were my friend's homes

[hhhhyyyffff]

why cant you just hide in a ditch or sewer?

[100Shadowassasin]

@hhhhyyyffff because i think this tornado was late change as a classification level 4 in a ditch u would be sucked up and die in a sewer the suction of it would suficate u to death

Would like to see credit for the music in this video.

It does seem that Tornado Alley has shifted to the east. It used to be more around KS, OK, MO, IL...lately, it seems SE of all of that. Horrible situation.

i was at the mall in tullahoma when this happened

[101cutiepye101]

i was there when it happened but it didnt hit the house that i was in. My dad saw it, and it hit by my aunts work and it did alot of damage.

[TragicFires]

Not from here, but from ATL, I have a friend there, was shocked when I heard about this :( Hopefully recovery efforts go smoothly

[bnoll01]

I almost died in this thing too! I live between Battleground dr. and Sulfur Springs rd. and I was at home! It was upgraded today to an ef-4. It is impossible to build underground housing here because of all the limestone. Middle Tennessee is on 1-2 feet of dirt and solid limestone rock for miles deep below that! No one even has a basement in their house here unless they are very wealthy and can afford extensive controlled blasting.

[vicvicbitter]

i'm in Australia, i don't understand why you folks don't just build underground, less heating in summer, less cooling in winter, and no house to blow away. we have underground houses out west. works well.

[bigme100]

you can't build underground here. You hit solid rock in 3-4 feet.

[zacefronisahotguy]

i live in rutherford county so it about got my house!

[sk8rkidme]

it was an ef-3

[HurricaneFreak30336]

it was revised shortly after to an ef-4

[adorkablefrancesca]

this tornado ripped through my backyard and left my house untouched but destroyed every other house. I am so lucky to be alive.

[jmw61587]

what part of town do you live in? it ripped through part of my neighborhood (regency) and did alot of damage at hanyes and sulphur springs intersection

[ericsummey95]

i was lucky this storm weakened when it hit my area. there was a tornado warning for my county, but not a tornado. i hope you and your family are okay.

[777drummerofdeath777]

i almost died in THIS tornado.

[mitchmsk]

I amost died in a tornado

[hlmudgl]

dude were you that close

[xaviervonrottie]

I live here. It was really bad to say the least...

[HurricaneFreak30336]

that's an ef-4 damage... maybe ef-5. we will have to find out.
