sigh... why doesn't that surprise me?
I thought it was just GRLevel3 at first, but of course...
The closest radar site now is KGWX.

The situation in south TN sounds dire, multiple impassable roads are hindering emergency services. THP dispatch recently advised they have been unable to make contact with Hardin County (next county east from Selmer).
Edit: LE just advised KNQA has lost power

Neither Memphis radar seems to be updating now which is not ideal during a TORE; GWX it'll have to be

They've lost power per law enforcement.

Yeah both radars are down. That's unacceptable. That just cannot happen.

Appears a significant hit on Grand Junction, TN is becoming increasingly likely. The CC drop has only deepened on its approach to the area.

That literally just happened to PAH earlier in this outbreak, but fortunately they have a backup generator and their radar is still operational.
Maybe MEG doesn't have a generator? Who knows. In any case, dire situation unfolding.

The entire Memphis NWS office is offline. They took a power hit. Shreveport is backing up.
EDIT: Radar's back as of 0138.

Got out of bed to go to the bathroom, and checked my phone just to see what might be the most violent tornado yet.

Memphis is back!
We were staying so lucky all night... Now it's direct hit after direct hit. This is terrible...

New scan from MEG came in. Power is restored.

Terminal is back too, though it's getting out of range; probably gonna be a long tracker as it's just as intense looking now as it was when we lost several scans for a bit

This tornado passed about five miles south of my home.

Looks like the tornado actually moved more to the east, a direct hit on Grand Junction, TN from a violent tornado is now imminent. Next scan will reveal just how significant it will be.
