On Friday, 4/10 (Good Friday), several tornadoes came through the city of Murfreesboro leave a devestating path of destruction.
Around 1:30 pm, one of the tornadoes touched down as I stood and watched it from the clubhouse of my apartment complex. It was an an amazing sight to watch. I watched as the tornado formed. It started at the far left and spiraled and swirled until it touched down on the ground in front of the elementary school right next to my apartment. The tornado was said to have been 1/2 mile wide and traveled most of the city in a diagonal path.
It is such a site to see how one side of a road is completely destroyed and right across the street the houses are untouched.
In its path more than 450 house were destroyed(100) or damaged(350) and at least 30 people were injured. Two lives were tragically taken as well. A mother and her 9-week old daughter.
The above pictures are of two neighborhoods that are no more than a two minute drive from my apartment. (No damage was done to my apartment complex but the houses directly next to us were hit.)
It is amazing what human nature can do in a matter of seconds.
(And it's true what people say, the winds/tornado do sound like a train passing by.)

It's true, it's amazing...but it's not HUMAN nature, it's GOD'S nature. He created tornados...it's an interesting creation. Praise God you were protected and our apartment is still around.
