rotation is scary...u never know if it will form by: Anonymous
i love your story....i too live in northern franklin county (rock creek rd)in tullahoma...when the april 10 2009 tornado(s)hit murfreesboro at 12 or 1.... i was saddened by the deaths of the woman and baby, and just as i was in disbelief of the situation.. storms were on me and my family...i remember watching the weather and noticing some familiar patterns in the weather radar on my computer and tv..and i kept walking outside looking at the clouds and coming back in again...at around 330 i went out and noticed the sky was all messed up....clouds were beginning to rotate ....so been i live in a trailor park i told my wife and 3 small children to get in the van and just as i did the tv said possible rotation in northern franklin county over blue creek rd..i looked in the sky on last time and seen it swirling in all kinds of directions ..so i went outside jumped in the van and took off towards tullahoma about 1 mile up the road.. by the time i got about a half of a mile down the road it was hailing baseball size hail busting my windshield and knocking dents on the hood and roof of our van...my wife was so scared ....i never made it to the main rd (jackson st) that day because the hail was so bad i had to pull over in someones driveway...but i realized that god had spared my family that day .....if that rotation had of touched the ground it would have probably been over a mile wide tornado leaving us nowhere to go...so today i watch the weather closer and dont wait till the rotation is right on us, i seek shelter at my sisters house in estill (with a basement) or walmart....i tell my wife that a tornado can take you at walmart too... but i guess she feels more comfortable around a place where alot of other people will die with us if something was to happen ......i dont know...at the least,thanks for your story .....we live in a tornado belt also huh.....p.s. i remember the huntsville tornado.... and my oldest sister told me about the ones in 1974....god bless and peace out bro. tommy elliott
