No problem, I heard a rumor that some others may have gotten some footage as well. I hope they put it on youtube.

Anderson and Knox now under nader warning.

Looks like the strong tornado threat has diminished...but there still could be spinups on the leading edge of an organizing squall line...we'll have to watch the straight line wind threat as this goes alot more linear especially the eastern most counties. By the time this reaches the eastern most counties there could be some small bowing segments.

Sky looking interesting west of me. Looks like the grand finale is moving in very soon. Gonna try to get some video of the show.

This has been an amazing day, thankful for the safety of those I love. I want to thank each of you for taking the time to share your insights on this forum, I am glad we have this place, to get together and discuss this amazing thing we call the Weather!

Sadly there are 18 confirmed fatalities so far from today. This does not include West Liberty Kentucky which was leveled.

Toot, it is starting to look like a bowing of this line. I am sure there are some strong winds with the line as it moves through East Tn.

No doubt... and that super cell that is embedded in the bowing segment looks to have some big hail with it. That cell looks to go thru Knox..Jefferson..Hamblen...etc counties

yea, cells heading into knox county taking on more of a bowing signature

death toll now stands at 20, just heard that dyersburg...

Man that sucker is really bowing...probably gonna be some slight damage with that signature

I would say that is an intense and big meso low thats moving thru the east TN valley...pretty fascinating stuff there

Whew. Just had about 30 secs of dime sized hail, crazy strong winds and only about 2-3 minutes of sheet rain. Just leftover thunder and lightning now. Hope everybody did alright and are safe.

death toll now stands at 27...

A couple more rotation signatures are showing after I took that pic. Down in the SVR warned area...

Check the wind bullseye out

Man, really hate to hear about those deaths.

I was very lucky here. As far as I'm concerned this was the ideal storm. Had some amazing lightning and thunder, some very stout winds, and heavy blowing rain but not a single pellet of hail. It's possible we had a limb or two down but overall it was just pure awesomeness. Got about 15 minutes of video of the light and sound show. Hope people east of the line fair as well as I did.

This has been fascinating to watch tonight. Thanks everyone for contributing to the discussion.

Toot, Math/Met, Andy good luck with that thing. Howell is still talking about rotation.

There is a little rotation showing up in Cocke Co.

Mudslide reported in Jellico!

EMS is saying that a funnel cloud was spotted in Bristol earlier, no indication that it did make touchdown...
