Well, Lisa is the chief meteorologist at the station and ahs been there the longest. She also did this when Nashville was hit in 98. Also, they did not expect to see it visually themselves as it was happening, which lead to the clamoring, they were all trying to hammer the threat home.

I will never forget that day. I remember looking out my window and seeing a tornado.I live right on Highway 96, so it went right by us.

If that tornado did not shift I wouldn't be typing this now and I remember the fear in my little brothers eyes and my older brother trying to help me breath cause I'm chrostphobic and I was stuck in a tiny closet with my two brothers my two dogs and my hamster who died a few months ago.:( and kids at my school that it was cool and one said I Slept threw it but I don't get how it was cool

@jdailey19811 That is a little far from the truth. The husband recovered from his injuries physically and was interviewed in a follow up news report several months after the tornado hit. He was a local contractor and I remember them talking about his business during the interview and while I don't know what hes been up to since then I do know he survived and is alive and well. Thank the lord

The day before my birthday. I still shudder when I think about it. A woman and her baby were killed, and the husband/father died days later from his injuries

I WAS IN MY DORME ROOM AT TENNESSEE STATE. THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET.

THE STORM SIRENS WENT ON AND OFF EVERY OTHER 10 MINUTES.

WE GOT PEA SIZE HAIL(WHICH LASTED 10 MINUTES STRAIGHT). JUST TO PUT ITI IN MORE PERSPECTIVE: NASHVILLE TO MURFREESBORO IS ABOUT 32 MILES,

MTSU doesn't let out for Good/Bad Friday. I spent an hour and a half in a stairwell cause of this monster. although I was lucky and was with people who had the attitude, "if we die, we're gonna die laughing!" luckily none of us did.
