Tornado cloud over Murfreesboro 4/10/09

Bad phone video of the cloud that turned into a tornado over MTSU.

*edit*
Looks like there were a few traffic accidents and the Blackman Community has been hit really hard. Casualties and homes are wrecked. Its been a bad day there.

*edit 2*
So now we are hearing 2 dead for certain. Maybe more due to flying debris and people not found in the rubble. Once again, sorry this video is bad, but if you have news and could share here, id appreciate it.

Too bad the quality is poor on this vid.

I was awakened by tornado sirens in the Stewarts Ferry area of Nashville.

News vidso is still on all local channels. Murfreesboro looks like a disaster srea.

Good luck.

[wimpyisdead]

[timoz26]

This is the damndest thing; a tornado is on the ground and everyone is driving around like nothing's going on. I see this alot in tornado videos. What's with people?

My son and I just viewed the tornado destruction that hit just three weeks or so ago in Murfreesboro and took a few pictures. We saw the damage from I-40 and followed the path of the tornado from some businesses which continued through this neighborhood of homes. The destruction was like an Atomic bomb had been dropped on the area. Homes were leveled and looked like match sticks!! ...rubble everywhere!!.. It was indeed a sad sight to behold, and my heart goes out to all these people..(Reece)

I live in Blackman Grove...right beside the Oaks and we had no damage throughout the neighborhood. We were blessed bc we saw the fingers going up in the clouds

Me and two others were traveling 99 from eagleville when we spotted this tornado. We followed it until we lost sight of it when we reached the over pass near the dairy. Unfortunately we forgot the camera, but had talked about bringing it. Watching it run parallel with us was unreal!

i just looked out the window to see debris flying 70 feet in the air and a eerie, roar type sound. next thing i know, im hiding in the bathroom.
