Tennessee tornadoes
Over the past few weeks there have been several tornadoes touching down in Tennessee near where one of my wife’s sisters happens to live. She has been fortunate to not have been a victim of the tornadoes, but it certainly is nerve wracking to both my wife and her sister that the tornadoes are touching down so close. From what my wife has heard from her sister, one of their favorite restaurants is on a block where a tornado touched down and several of the businesses were destroyed but the restaurant itself was spared. I have never seen the destruction first hand of a tornado, and we live in an area where tornadoes DO happen. My wife gets very worried when tornado warnings appear on the radio and television and talks about going down into the basement until the warnings are over. I guess that is another good reason to get our basement finished – even if no one ends up living down there we could at least be comfortable staying down there until the storm warnings pass!
