I’m wondering where the northern most WF is. I hope it didn’t make it across the valley. These storms might rotate more off of it. The line moving off the plateau has breaks and offsets which sometimes indicates mesos imbedded in the line.


.

Hard to say. I looked at temps on wunderground and it looks like a little warm nose trying to push  up west of the plateau ahead of the main warm front.

Not heard anything out of Ooltewah yet. I am hoping that the tornado weakened as rapidly as it intensified. The CC appeared to be weakening just as the intense circulation unraveled over Ooltewah proper. However, that went crazy fast and may've unfortunately hit some residential structures.

We are in Ooltewah. Woke my wife up and we got in the closet under the stairs. No reports of damages yet in our area. Rumors there was a touchdown but I'll wait until I see ground reports. Our house is 4 years old and built solid. The wind was howling. Hopefully we have no loss if life in our area. I'm hoping no damage at our house. We have underground utilities and lost power for 20 minutes. Lost it a 2nd time for 10 minutes. Everyone stay safe.

 

I cracked the closet door 1 time and you could literally feel pressure. Im guessing that was just from the main winds from the storm being so strong. Just hope we have no damage
