The house where the lady died was flipped completely off of its foundation and landed on its roof. It was a full-on house, not a trailer. It is three miles from my house. The tornado hit and destroyed several other houses and quite a few barns and out buildings. One of those barns was 1000 feet from my house.

We spent a few minutes in a closet. No damage, but the whole front of our neighborhood had debris. I spent a few minutes this morning picking up insulation and roofing material from my yard.

I feel very fortunate but also sad for the lady. I didn't know her but it sounded like she was well-liked. And far too young at 41.

Thank you, I wasnt able to get over there this morning. Glad you and yours are okay. Is there any sort of cleanup effort? May try to round up a few people tomorrow on my day off.

Big 10 has more parity and is more competitive. OSU is the best team? Purdue ran them off the field. Michigan May very well best them.

And that all with OSU probably running 75% of the SEC teams off the field.

All I’m saying is the SEC is boring. Honestly, is there any doubt who the best team in the SEC is? Is it even close, or even worth watching? It’s a race for second, nothing more.

So you are punishing the SEC because Alabama is on a historic run? But saying there is parity in the big 10 because Purdue beat Ohio State this year? Ohio State has ran through that conference with little resistance for years, Clemson has done the same. Put Alabama in any of the other conferences and they will run through it. SEC is where it's at, on 247 I think 10 of the top 20 teams in the recruit rankings are in the SEC.

I also live about 3-5 miles from where it happened. Luckily we had no damage. You towards Unionville or towards Murfreesboro?

Honestly, I have no idea. Surprisingly the damage isn't widespread. It severely damaged or destroyed four homes that I know of.

Overall, it took a very fortunate path, missing three neighborhoods that would have made it much worse. That doesn't make it better for the ones affected.

The sheriff department was keeping non-residents out today, but they were gone this evening. If I hear anything, I'll let you know. Getting dark earlier doesn't help. There are a few donation efforts.

Anyone else grow up cheering for Duke? Like battier era?

Have loved Duke since I was a little kid. I know that is not popular. Battier is my favorite all time Duke player.

This Duke team will be exciting to watch. Not sure they win it all or even tonight. Also, Barrett and Reddish might be better than Zion and that’s scary.

In the same boat.

Come back when KY beats Bama. Because that is roughly equivalent to Purdue beating OSU. That ‘ish aint happening.

I’m also not punishing the SEC as much as I’m punishing CFB as a whole. It’s Bama every year going forward. What other team can make it to the playoffs while still losing a game. They lost their state, division, and conference last year and still made it in. What other team in country can say or even expect that?

Are they doing it clean? Does the conference office in Birmingham or NCAA compliance care or step in?

Bama’s current run is historic, no doubt. But it’s not fun for anybody other than Bama fans and it’s as much of an indictment on the sport as whole as it is anything else. I can’t sit here and realistically believe there isn’t a single coach or program in the country that can’t catch up to Saban and Bama without the guys in Tuscaloosa having an advantage no one else does.

I watch UT games, and maybe a few other teams or a top match up...just to see if there will be upsets. But as a whole, CFB is not entertaining at all. Moving forward it’s Bama, every other year at least, if not every year. It’s just not fun to watch a race for second place, outside of watching my Vols.

Just to the north of the path so more toward Murfreesboro. We're all counting our blessings in this area. It's never good when the weather lady points out a new area of rotation as "the best I've seen tonight."

Mind your weather alerts, boys and girls.

I (along with other duke fans) have been spoiled as a Duke fan growing up. UT has been the exact opposite for the last 10 something years...
