YESTERDAY'S STORM!!!!

Well this topic doesn't have to do with anything concerning my paper but of course it is a very interesting topic. I am quite sure everyone has their own story about the whole ordeal. Well here is mine.

All day yesterday I heard news that it was going to be a severe storm that day. But by the way it felt yesterday you would have thought that there was no way that there was going to be a storm. But then again you knew something wasn't right because it was wayyyyyyyyyy too warm to be smack dead in the middle of winter.

However, a little after we were released from school people all over Tennessee began to spot funnel like clouds. The whole ordeal was extremely weird because the whether was extremely warm and calm. In my neighborhood we only received a little bit of rain and a whole lot of wind. ALOT!!!!!! Unfortunately, I experienced the high winds a little too close to home. My favorite mall in Memphis, THE HICKORY RIDGE MALL, was destroyed. (Well half of it!) Too some of you guys this unfortunate situation might not be of any care of yours, but that ordeal was a tad bit too close to home. (LITERALLY)!! I don't stay that far from the mall. Debris was found in my backyard from the SHARP WAREHOUSE, that also received ALOT of damage. ( That's like down the street and around a couple of corners from my house.)

This whole situation was extremely scarey and I wished it would have never happened. As I was driving down Mendanhall, by the FORMER Sharp Warehouse, the street and that whole area felt extremely eerie. I felt like I didn't belong. The feeling is really indescribable. I just pray that it never hit its 70's again in the middle of winter.

GLAD TOO SEE THAT EVERYONE IS OKAY

LOVE. <3 TEE
