Tornadoes. Babies. Tornadoes.... Babies....

That is about all that's going through my head right now. I am literally SICK to my stomach about this tornado "talk" that's going around this morning. From what I understand we are a 9 out of 10 for tornadoes today.... My babies being away from me and out of arms reach is not making my stomach feel any better. And there is not a worse feeling, if you ask me anyways! :(

Here are a few things I've heard/seen about our upcoming weather......................

"Forecasters are especially worried about what this round of storms will bring late Friday into early Saturday morning. Experts say nighttime tornadoes are more likely to be deadly than daytime ones."

"These storms could produce large hail, damaging winds and a few intense Tornadoes" (this statement was already in bold!)

"Large, violent tornadoes are possible in these areas. Prepare now!"

"There is an elevated risk for strong, long lived tornadoes (whhhaaattt?) across central Tennessee and Kentucky."

"High risk areas are extremely rare and are typically issued once or twice a year. This is a very serious situation for Kentucky and north/central Tennessee"


And here is a picture I saw. Below the picture it describes what all the colors and numbers mean.

"In this image, the numbers/percentages show the probability of a tornado within 25 miles of a point. Areas that are hatched show a 10% or greater probability of EF2 – EF5 tornadoes within 25 miles of a point. A 30% hatched area is VERY significant!!!!"


Eeeek!!!



PLEASE, if ya'll don't mind, say a prayer for us Tennesseans today!!! We could really use them. I've been praying since yesterday when I heard about what was to come.... Praying for everyone to stay safe!

  1. I am not sure it is any easier when you are with them... not knowing if you can protect them or knowing the safest place to be. I am totally freaking out.
