He's near Millersville (?) I think and their electrical transformer station took a direct hit. Report I saw said the house across the street from the transformer was scraped off down to the slab. I am seriously concerned. He's on night shift, yes. Lives NE of Nashville, yes. Probably dealing with power outages (duh!). And it's good he's got a chainsaw, as I bet he has to use it to get his car home. Or out. It's not unheard of to have bad storms this time of year in the south, but not so much and so widespread.

We had snow in the mountains again on Monday here.

www.weather.com, msnbc.com, cnn.com Lauri. www.yahoo.com also has coverage.

He's in Millersville which is usually classified as part of Goodletsville.

I give up, I'm just going to sit here with my sick daughter and worry about Chuck. My day is shot.

Lauri - We'll keep an eye on things. Don't expect to hear from Chuck for a while. Millersville is on the border of Sumner and Robertson Counties. Sumner has had numerous casualties and is a mess right now. Knowing Chuck, he'll be fine - he floats. He'd have been at work and in a sturdy building, and is probably busy helping out as much as he can. So don't worry about him too much, ok? We'll do that for you. - Nan

Yeah, he's a survivor, he knows where the strong walls are. He should he runs into them all the time. Knowing him, he was probably figuring out ways to blow up the funnels or tossing paper airplanes in them, because they were going faster. Although getting into his car I'm not sure about, does he have any more door handles left? He'll be fine, I'm sure he's in the thick of it helping out.

Might be wrong but when he was describing is caves/sink holes (you ever get the feeling he should move?) he talked about hills. He spoke of his driveway as having a grade to it and I think he's in a mountian setting, for lack of a better word, because he talked about openings further up it. Funnels will follow the topography of the land, seen it here, a lot. They don't like hills and will stay in the valleys, even very narrow ones.

1/4 mile long driveway, slope so steep up a hill that they couldn't get a bobcat in. Up the side of a hill. He had to re-gravel the drive by wheelbarrow recently. I would imagine he'll have cleanup to do, but it looks from what I can see on their local TV news as if the worst of it dropped out of the sky just a little farther north and east of him. Maybe only a matter of a few miles, but that is all he needs.

And he said just recently that he was tired of doing yard work and house-repair work. Oh my!

I think we should all go to like Colorado or Vermont or something. We could take over a ghost town and reanimate it.

As long as it has caves, I'm all for it. My body doesn't like the damp anymore. I've always been fascinated with the opal fields in Ozyland, I could live in one of those holes. Run out of storage space, expand a side space (splosions!!) and find opals (shiny thing!!), sounds good to me. As long as they have the internet.

The weather here is getting kind of crazy....A few days ago I was shivering through a cold snap
now we are looking at near 70°F temps.... Watch another cold snap and blizzard come and sock us.

Lurking. Waiting for the irrepressible Chuck! Sending Blessed positive vibes to share with her sick kid.

What conditions make ice and what conditions make snow? what does it tell you about changed climate?

I understood your earlier posts about the onset of signs of Spring.

We had a rainy day all day yesterday. We have had constant overcast days and showers throught the night,

THe dams in Brisbane are now 30% full. Some further south are overflowing. Yet it's too soon to be hopeful that the drought has broken.
