Thanks Dan for those thoughts.
We lived in Tennessee for years and we absolutely loved it. I even went to college in Clarksville!
The storms which seemed like they came nightly, were very scary. It seemed like the worst storms came in the night. I remember many nights waking to the alarm and heading down to the basement.
Being in tornado alley was the only thing about Tennessee we didn't like. It's all a part of living in Tn, but we never got used to it.
