As impressive as all the damage was, this was one weak-*** tornado. We got lucky.

of the same on Thursday/Friday....according to the PAID private service weather guys. Part deux of a nasty week.

It was akin to a scene from The Mummy. An 80-100 mph sand storm came up in 45 seconds or so. It only lasted 4 or 5 minutes, and was straight line winds; but it blew out truck windows, ripped hatch windows from Tahoes, etc... Iron patio furniture was thrown around the parking lot. Very surreal to see non-cyclonic winds pack that much force.

Yeah I live in castlewoods right on the edge of 25 and it was nasty. Windshields were blown out and part of a roof of my apartment complex came off. With me living on the third floor, and being off that day, made it a very scary scenario. My directv satellite was destroyed.(the only one in the complex destroyed, mind you) I had no idea that storm would be that bad. Seven year, you must live right by me.

in the worst hit area (am very lucky, but neighbors weren't). Still no power as of 3:13 PM Tuesday.</p>

 

[dawgstudent]

you should be getting it soon.

Entergy intially told us 10 PM Saturday. Then Sunday night. Then, "we are reasonably confident that most customers will have power by 11 PM Tuesday. They remainder should have it Wednesday." The next time, they told me "we are pretty confident most will be restored by Thursday".
When I went to bed last night, the other end of the street (the section with trees all over the power lines) had power as did the section of Ridgewood near us (the other section of heavily damaged lines the feed into ours). Yet, our section between the two where no power lines were down nor damage had no glow. A mullet/Pontotoc 'stache at lunch told me that we would have power by 5:00 tonight.

I sat in the dark relieved that my text message updates said that Memphis St. had lost. It was pathetic on so many levels.

I skipped most of the 2nd half and started watching at about the 5 minute mark.

the ones that are on Ridgewood Road across from Hallmark Cleaners....down from The Bulldog.
