Large tornado touchdown in Nashville ~1 am. Lot of damage, live coverage Nashville, Tennessee News, Weather and Sports | NewsChannel 5 WTVF | newschannel5.com as I write this. Wow.
We are expecting the same here in nola, i will have the 996 and the dmr radio set up in my car, but gut tells me it may be minimal threat in our area red.We are in for slight risk in Louisiana later on today and Wednesday. My prayers go with you good folks. I have a good friend who lives up there, he was my Captain at the Sheriff's Office in Baton Rouge. He retired and took a job as Chief in Lynville. He and family are ok.
Prayers for them all!!
I lived thru the Joplin tornado.
I listen to Red Eye Too, as far back as when they first were named Midnight Trucker's Network. Gary McNamara used to be out in Rockford IL and golfed all the same places I used to, ate at the same haunts. His Dad lived out there If I remember. I enjoy his stories about Chicago and Rockford. Eric and Gary are alright. I went to bed right after I posted that comment last night. I was hoping it wasn't as bad as it looked on TV Roof-CAM. It was worse. Sad to hear so many people got killed and hurt. Glad to hear the President is going to visit. I remember the last thing they had in the Nashville area. The FLOODS. By the time FEMA finally got around to going there back then? they (Gubment) were shocked on how much the people and private sectors did to fix things and rebuild by themselves. Nashville will recover again the same way.I was listening to the nationwide overnight Red Eye Radio REDE-CM show and heard the breaking news announcement; WTVR was on the air with news crews out and about. Watched the live coverage for a while. WTVR apparently has preempted regular programming ( Live storm Coverage ) as I write this. I note the station streams via Roku as well. The Tennessean newspaper and wsmv.com TV have extensive coverage as well.
Unfortunately people died and the search continues.
President Trump will be going to Nashville on Friday, the 6th.
