Mitch and I experienced our first big Tornado Warning in Nashville this last Saturday... and my lucky mom and sister's, who were visiting from Washington State, got to experience it as well. Saturday started out as a typical Tennessee spring day, mild and warm with some overcasts. Mitch, my mom & sisters and I spent the day in downtown Nashville. First we visited the Country Music Hall of Fame, then we checked out some souvenir shops followed by spending time in the Honky Tonk bars on Broadway, which are all ages until 7pm. (Tootsies, The Stage, etc...) We were just about to leave, and were snapping a few photo's outside on the sidewalks when all of a sudden a loud siren started blaring above us. It was a Tornado Warning! Then, literally within a minute, it started pouring down rain, with thunder and lightening. It was insane how quickly the weather changed!
My sister actually caught much of the excitement on camera,
check out these videos... they're pretty funny!

This was definitely one intense storm, though it could have been much worse. The streets and sidewalks flooded, and the thunder and lightening was so loud and close, but thankfully, no tornados formed. :) Hopefully we won't have a scare like this again for a long time.
