I'm in middle tn (murfreesboro just outside of nashville)... Was walking into jasons deli, something didn't feel right so I turned around to see a tornado forming about a quarter mile away. First thought was to stare at the beauty of it but then I decided yah... I better get inside. Scary fucking awesome shit.

Much better vid...

Working on pics from the neighborhood...

Here is one of a house on top of a house. The foundation is off to the left out of the shot.

The hole in the house is where the white car to the right came from... it got ripped out of the garage through the brick.

AWESOME! I've only see two form and it was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Those storms are coming my way later on and I saw it's popping up a crap load of tornado warnings (meaning funnel clouds sighted, etc).

Did you see any green sky?

I'm stuck in jasons deli as far away from the windows as I can be plugging away on my bberry...
No green sky I didn't have enough time to really look but it seemed more grey/black as I recall.

You've probably got a camera on that, make with the PICS!

Mother f... I heard earlier that a house was flattened a couple of miles from mine. I just read 'assistance called out to indian creek area'. Great, that's where I live.

Woah that's crazy. GL, hopefully there wont be too much damage. Seeing something like that must be both awesome and scary at the same time.

Same thing happened to my wife and I last summer.

We were walking from a pet supply store across a parking lot to a Home Depot to get whatever and next thing we know the air felt "weird" not sure how to explain it, and we see a tornado form right on the other side of the parking lot from us.

We ran our asses into the Home Depot and they had everyone in the store go into the back where the employee lounge was, just in case those shelves they have that go to the ceiling came tumbling down.

Shit was crazy, people were all panicked, kids were crying, etc...
