Severe weather will be the story in the morning 

I know everyone is focused on Super Tuesday but tomorrow the story will be what was happening with the weather ... and not that polls closed early.

The death toll is not insignificant. The number of injuries is high. The damage reports seem, initially that is, to warrant the HIGH they issued earlier today. One supercell starting in MS spawned tornadoes into KY (may still be doing so) ... thats over 300 miles. Hockey fans were held in the Nashville area due to that supercell passing through just as the game ended. Memphis has damage. Jackson TN has extensive damage and CNN was even reporting 86 injuries in Jackson alone. Arkansas unfortunately has (last I read) at least 7 dead and I know of at least 3 dead in KY. CNN is reporting 16 dead as of midnight CST.

There is a pipeline burning in TN and reportedly a plane down.

Its late and this post is a mess. I'll followup in the morning (more of the same expected further east) ... Maybe even a derecho tonight? Why not ... everything else seems to have happened.

Prayers for the victims and their families I am sure would be appreciated ... My 6 year old asked that we pray especially for the "little babies" in the path of these storms. Y'all listen to him as well.

UPDATE: See national news. Death toll up to 47 per Fox News/CNN... Super Tuesday results lead both sites. Americans know what is important (see image below).



With daylight I think the real damage assessments will begin. A tragic, tragic event ...
