I've seen a bunch of them, and thankfully they were going away from me.

Sirens were going off in Bruceton, yesterday, but no tornadoes that I know of.

It got windy as hell, and the temp dropped rapidly, but nothing.

No freight trains, except the ones on the tracks.

As a kid saw one at night during the lightning strikes. The second one, still a kid, was during the day and not very organized, could see the clouds in a column swirling. It did some damage at a nearby industrial park. Was going to Florida and was near Hattisburg MS, never saw it, missed it by a mile or so, pitch black darkness, traffic came to a stand still because it had just crossed the road we were on. Debris everywhere, had to detour around because of the damage. Was at a Funeral a few years ago, saw a funnel, that soon after touched down.

A few years ago, straightline winds came through Memphis, also known at "Hurricane Elvis", woke up was looking out the window to see a wall of blackness, debris, and rain headed our way, screamed, wife and I grabbed kids and got into the hall bathroom, it was over. It was crazy. Night time, no advance warning is scary. We bought a weather radio right after that.

They just said that the chattanooga tornader yesterday was an f0 on a scale of f5. This had winds of 48 miles per hour LOL. That is a baby tornader.

One hit Oklahoma back in may 1999 that had the fastest recorded winds ever recorded on earth at 318 miles per hour. It was an f5 and killed 44 people, injured hundreds, and destroyed thousands of homes.

I heard that. IMHO 48 mile an hour winds is a wind storm not a tornader. Probably why it was a big fat 0.

its a bigger dirt devil LOL

[Chief07]

Prob an hour ago or less

Wow! Awsume. Hope everyone made it through ok.

[Guest tnxdshooter]

Lol,

This is how inaccurate meterologists are. This tornado that hit Chattanooga was classified by local meteroligists as an F0 tornado which would have winds of 65-85 miles per hour. Well, for the longest time during the storm I watched as the meteorologists tracked the storm and kept saying the winds of it were 48 miles per hour and at one point got up to 81. Now a tornader investigator with the national weather service has classified it as an f2 which has winds upwards of about 110 miles per hour. I can see how winds that high can do damage but not 48 miles per hour blowin roofs off the house. Perhaps I should be a meterologist as it is almost like a politician all you have to do is lie lie lie and not worry about anything. PAUL BARYS SAID IT WOULDNT BE LIKE THIS with winds that high. LOL WHAT A JOKE OF A METEOROLOGIST.

So it was an actual F2?

[Guest tnxdshooter]

So it was an actual F2?

According to what the Chattanooga Times Free Press article is saying YES! They had an article this morning in there where they interviewed some kind of tornader investigator from the National Weather Service that was in town to inspect/investigate. He says F2 and is going to document it as such. So sounds to me like 3, 9, 12, and fox 61 need to get new weather radar as theirs said at the highest 81 miles per hour but that was in alabama and here they said 48 was the total here so.....I dont know.

Yeah well I dont know if you know paul and cindy barys as well as I do but I can tell you he likes to tip the bottle to much and perhaps he was in the bottle when he said f0 tornadoe? The barys's are known in chat town to throw wild parties at their house.
