Posted via VolNation Mobile | Yeah, the homes not being made of brick was a major factor. My home is made of brick as well. Of course, I'd rather have a concrete storm cellar, which I'm sure is something we'd all love to have.

As I write this, storms are firing up in northern Arkansas right now. These are probably the beginning of long track supercells....probably will rapidly intensify

| I just can't get over how violent this tornado season has been. Stay safe and take precautions early, west Tenneseans. The last place you want to be caught is in your car.
