As you can read in my post, the National Weather Service (the official group that confirms tornadoes) has designated the damage as EF-1 tornado damage, meaning that it has officially been established that this was a tornado.Dewdrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507315890846359262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-64619930802623484762008-05-22T00:20:00.000-04:002008-05-22T00:20:00.000-04:00We live on Chickasaw Run as well.

I'm disabled and in a wheelchair and my daughter stays with us. My husband was at work. I looked out the front window and saw a huge cloud with a funnel and didn't know which direction it was coming for but when golf-ball sized hail hit the roof my daghter and I hid in the bathroom. We have 8 trees down in our yard and one against the west side of the house. Many houses are so damaged that people can't get into them. It looks like a war zone. So it definitely wasn't a microburst.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737081045006956196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-80889279104417931532008-05-21T11:48:00.000-04:002008-05-21T11:48:00.000-04:00Wow, thank y'all for the updates and input.

It looks like it started in the town of Holly Springs and moved south east through Lebanon and Woodstock before dissapating.

I am anxious to see the determination of the Weather Service, as they seem to be avoiding using the "t" word (tornado) to describe the situation. I actually heard microburst used this morning. The radar was one of the more impressive that I have seen in a while.Dewdrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507315890846359262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-23420310004156500862008-05-20T21:44:00.000-04:002008-05-20T21:44:00.000-04:00My friend called and said that my brother in law w...My friend called and said that my brother in law who lives in Arnold Mill Rd. his home was destroyed by the "storm" which we actually think now was a tornado path that passed right through his home.
