good I've been told. Parts of Bragg blvd are still closed. Posted via VolNation

Little to no damage west of Bragg. I feel lucky though as the tornado touched down a half mile after it passed over my house.

| wow, glad you're safe 7th. From what I understand everyone else in my company (i'm attached to a different battalion) is ok and didn't suffer anything too severe. My Team Leader does have a hole in his living room. He's not with me now, but in a different part of Afghanny and is supposed to be heading back next month. They might let him go early. I won't be back until August.
Also all the families in the battalion I'm here with seem to be ok, but from your reports and others that I'm hearing, things are pretty bad there. Good luck with everything, I'm sure everyone will be needed for cleaning all this up. | |

| Thanks bill, yeah things are pretty rough around here for some. I figure the tornado will be rated a strong 2 or 3 considering the damage. From the pictures I've seen, it literally looks like a giant bomb exploded. Where there used to be buildings, there's nothing but a slab left.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | It ended up being more of a typical southern snow event. Got three or so inches in the morning and most of it was melted away by evening. Now its just cold rain. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Dyersburg, Halls and Jackson are notorious for getting bad weather. I hope there's nothing too bad tonight | |

IMO, the bulk of the most severe weather will be north of us in Southern Mo., Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky.
We will probably see a good squall line begin to build in Arky and move across the Miss. river, into West TN.
Any super cells ahead of that line will be the ones to watch
