Severe Weather Threat May 7-10, 2024

[Jpgood97]

When I woke up and felt the humidity and just how heavy the air was, I knew there was potential today. Just never expected this

The second storm that's about to climb Sand Mountain is looking stronger again. Almost same track as the first storm, I hope the responders and people surveying their damage don't get caught off guard, or disregard new warnings.

Henager requesting all available personnel from Powell FD which is further west of Sylvania. Sounds like Highway 40 is blocked.

I still don't have a good read on how widespread the damage is. Looking at Google maps I see red traffic areas all along Highway 40 and, of course, at the 40/75 crossroad.

Confirmed that one of the areas on 40 near the Cadence Bank was heavily damaged. It was stated that a home was completely destroyed. 5 adult occupants and 3 children. No information on injuries. Drive-in theater is also in the same vicinity.

County 911 just did a freeze on any further units responding until this cell passes. They've been getting frequent updates on the coming tornado warned cell over the county FD/911 radio network.

I'm a little less worried about responders than I am the family with a tree on their house (and they're otherwise fine, so no police/fire with them with their radios), power's out, and no one can hear the alert on their cellphone as they're milling about looking at it. I don't mean that in an insulting way, I had a tree down on my house four years ago and that's what I and my neighbors all did right after, stand around outside looking at it.

79.0°F/74.0°F in Memphis. That is a really high dewpoint.

Been saying it for hours. Memphis area has remained untapped. Anything that makes it into that area has a lot to work with.

Spann is giving a live report now. He's talking about what happened in DeKalb Co.

 

[Jpgood97]

I’m setting my alarm for 2am. Until then

 

[TornadoFan]

Haven't felt this drained since March 31 last year. Could barely keep up with the warnings.

 

[Kds86z]

Why is Maury county reports so quiet?

 

[Evan]

The Henager situation is just heartbreaking to me. It's such a beautiful little town with the nicest salt-of-the-earth people you can find.

Damn. Scanner just went out right as the new Henager cell started to get a tight couplet.

 

[Brice W]

Haven't felt this drained since March 31 last year. Could barely keep up with the warnings.

And just about everyone is getting a piece of the action. Iowa, Oklahoma, the Midwest states and more.

 

[The Nino]

Cc drop near henagar. Just awful, praying for those folks

 

[Evan]

Oh my God. TDS again. Some of the same area already hit.

 

[Clancy]

Madness.
