Got lots of family in arkansas. be safe billy.

I was walking through water that was waist deep getting to my daughter and her car right down my street.

The Civil Defense sirens are going now and we have a tornado bearing down on my area. so I am in my sunroom with all of the shades and blinds up and open so I can see what is coming. But the tornado is on the ground in Marvel and will be ripping through here. So I might come up missing for a minute until they figure where its going.

I already had one go over my house today I hop this one does the same thing.

Okay kids it is headed this way I am going to go outside and see whats going on and when I have to, I will come in and hide in the bathroom with the family.

According to the news I have 15 to 20 minutes before it is on top of this area.

Be careful out there. We just went under a flash flood warning and a tornado watch.

We had storms all night and all day and now it is at it again. We had 12 inches of rain!. The MED in Memphis had to close their medical ER and Labor & Delivery because of flooding and city hall flooded also. Many highways were flooded. Many people had to be evacuated from their homes. Dang sirens are going off right now !

How close are you to the wall cloud that just came across the river?

It missed us by about 5 miles when it went across the river it bobbled and shifted to the north and missed us.

Not sure, I have sat TV, which is out, and it's pouring rain and the sirens are blowing and it's very calm except for all the thunder and lighting. Not a good sign.

Last I heard we are in the path of that wall cloud

Funnel cloud was spotted outside of Millington around Munford on Hwy 51, heading north east.
