Thousands without power (including us). Power lines in the middle of the streets. People looting. Roof literally torn off buildings. Hickory ridge mall severely damaged (looting). People shooting back at cops to get what they want. Please pray for Memphis. They say more twisters will touch down by midnight. I'm on my cell.

Wow. That is horrible. Looting AND shooting? With more to come? I'm praying for you all.
I'm surprised CNN hasn't picked this up yet, but considering what today is, I'm sort of not.

I'm surprised too because I've been basically glued to CNN most of the day and I haven't heard anything about this. My goodness!!! Stay safe Herman!!!

Reports say there has even been loss of life.

I heard from him last night.

Cool. I was in the area last night. Trees were down and Tchulahoma was blocked. Â On our end Winchester is blocked due to the mall situation and all the debris.

My goddaughter was hungry and they were in the dark. I went by Little Caesar's (the only thing open in Hickory Hill on my end) and took it to their house.
It took me an HOUR to get down Shelby Drive.
Then, I turned on Tchulahoma to go to their house. After I crossed Raines, I couldn't go any further. White trucks were blocking the rest of the street because of all those trees in the middle of the road. I immediately thought of you two.
To get to their house I had to go back up Shelby Drive to Airways, go back to holmes and then turn on their street from the back way. The pizza was "lukewarm" but my baby ate! LOL!

My friend works in Hickory Hill (my neighborhood). She just took these and e-mailed them to me.

I was thinking about everybody in Memphis and Arkansas last night. Hopefully you all are ok. Nashville, TN dodged a bullet last night. The tornado sirens were going off all night in my area. We got some serious wind and hail in my neighborhood. I did hear that "roar" during the storm and just prepared myself mentally that I may not make it through this storm. The tornado literally skipped over Nashville and came right back down just north of here. They showed the wall cloud going over the downtown area. It was rather scary to see. They also reported that about 20 tractor-trailers were blown over near the Jackson, TN area. I have been in a few storms where my truck was getting blown around and it is not a good thing to experience. I-40 was outright shut down due to these trucks overturning. So far the total death toll is at 42.
Those of you that are checking in, I am glad to see that you all are ok.

I hope to own one of those one day(along with a Lamborghini Murcielago as well). There a couple of those in Memphis to my knowledge. I may be coming to an annual car show in Memphis this summer that features exotic cars.
Now back to the original topic.

You wrong for that :D
Did yall see the pics of the lambo that flipped over and caught fire. The driver could not get out because the car was upside down, making it impossible to open the doors.(that flip up) I think I'm gonna stick to cars with normal doors.

Yeah. For reasons like that, I'd keep it parked in front of my house as a chick magnet and only drive it to the store and back! LOL!

Last night was scary. I thank God for protection!

In one case a father borrowed a friend's Lamborghini and went to pick up his son. Then he was speeding and hit a curb and flipped it. He and his son were trapped and killed. Another case, this guy had a Lamborghini, went to a restaurant, and a waitress told him that she liked his car. He then offered her a ride, and trying to impress her, he was speeding, he lost control and flipped it. Both he and the waitress were trapped and died. If you drive responsibly, you can drive one of these cars without incident. The Gallardo has regular opening doors. But when push comes to shove you can get trapped in any kind of car.
I saw that, and that has made me rethink if I really want a Murcielago(of course I have to get that kind of money before I consider anything). But a lot of people get in those cars and think that they have to drive it 150mph. Then they lose control and get themselves in trouble. Just like that guy that was on YouTube driving over 200mph in Phoenix. That was purely idiotic. I used to have a Camaro Z28 and I pretty much drove it fast all of the time. I even would race on the interstate when challenged. Being stupid, I thought I had to take them on since I had the car to do it with. Then one day I almost hit someone(I was racing a Porsche 911 and someone pulled out into my lane when we were doing about 100mph) and almost lost it. Thank God nothing serious happened. I then decided that it was time to grow up and drive like I had some sense before I ruin my life and someone else's. Alright, enough about fast cars.
Back to the original topic.

Man, I just thank God, that all my family and friends are ok. It could have been the other way around. And my prayer go out to the people in Jackson. My aunt stay in Jackson by Union University.
