A tornado has hit Kimball, TN in Marion County. Kimball is about an hour and a half from my home. At last report, I was hearing about 9 or 10 possible injuries, none serious. My company owns billboards in Marion County.

Great coverage, Michael. Congrats on the severe weather.
Thanks Dew...we're still waiting to hear about some our billboards in that market.
I lived in Marion until I was 18 years old. I'm currently a Junior Meteorology Major at the University of South Alabama in Mobile... This was "BIG" news last year. I knew Marion County was due for a Tornado. The last Tornado that occured was in 1995. I watched the storm as it was moved into Marion County and was in total shock. I had called, Emailed, and Text Messaged everyone I knew that was in the path. Thankfully, everyone was ok. It's really a tough being 400 miles away knowing my hometown was being nailed by a tornado.
