You're lucky. I lost Satellite for 20 minutes. It looked to me like the storms started to weaken after they moved out of Knox County.

I watched a sub station or transformer explode right out back about an hour and half ago... Impressive. My buddy down the road said he thinks a small tornado hit northshore+choto area with some decent damage.

That's where there was some broad rotation, so it's possible.

My buddy sent some pictures off of Choto, big bradford pears snapped off at the ground. I know those are weak trees but that takes incredible force to snap a mature tree at ground level and blow it down the road. Rural Metro says 100+mph downbursts in the area.
