Jim, Sounds like Nashville today. I picked up my daughter from school and was back in Brentwood when my soon to be ex wife called in a panic. It seems a tornado had hit downtown Nashville about 5 minutes after I left with Ashleigh. There were no warnings or anything. I had been listening to the news radio station as we had been having tornados all day long and the sky was BLACK. I was going to head to the lab, but the wind was kicking up and I could tell it was fixing to storm so I decided not to, but headed straight home. This intersection where I was going to turn was really hit hard. The building right next to my daughters daycare was damaged pretty badly in the storm also. Oh well, I'll be out all morning tomorrow shooting clean up with my R8, R6 and M6 and send the film to New York. What fun. Black Star called and asked if I knew anything about the storms and I told them that considering I was in my basement with my daughter as the weather service was indicating a tornado right over my house and it was hailing ... yes I knew about the storms. I probably should have gone out tonight, but it there were still tornado warnings for our area and I did not want to leave my daughter. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
