Ice storm warning for the Memphis area..

Ice + Memphis drivers = disaster

Preach it brother. I thought it was supposed to clear out today but guess I was wrong. Coming home from class yesterday was terrible with people not knowing how to drive. My old man works for TDOT and said he passed all kinds of wrecks yesterday.

Yeah man if your dad works for TDOT then he seen some crap yesterday. I have a buddy that works downtown and it took him 2 1/2 hours just to get from downtown to West Memphis....Crazy!
 
It's coming in on us in western arkansas now. You guys will get it tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
We are in a tornado watch at this time expecting 3+ inches of rain.

You guys take care
 
It looks like its going to be a long night in the Memphis metro area. The sun has been out all afternoon and that was the only uncertain ingredient for tonight's outbreak. The atmosphere will be more unstable. It will not surprise me if a PDS tornado watch is issued. Stay safe guys.
 
Count,


Where you at? Do we need to batten down the hatches?

Yes

The tornado threat should diminish as the storms move east.

Squall line with high winds and hail

Storms will be moving in excess of 60 mph

Straight line wind damage will be widespread
 
An EF-2 tornado struck Mt. Juliet about 4 a.m. It did moderate damage including flipping a parked tractor trailer onto its side. The driver was asleep but uninjured.

Another tornado on I-24 in Cheatham County picked up a tractor trailer. The driver said he could see asphalt by looking straight out his windshield. I don't know of any more from the middle TN area.
