Yes, it was feeding straight up I-55 - our Memphis location got hammered yesterday also. Locally we had 5.82" of rain in 10 hours and 7 Tornados in the same time period. Yesterday was a weird day.

That same storm dropped close to 7" yesterday and it rained into the morning today. Last week we got around 14" in 24 hours. The damage in Mississippi caused by the tornados pales in comparison to the damage caused by Hurricane Ivan.

Imagine an 80 mile wide tornado that reached 60 miles in and that's what the devistation we had. I lost 20 very large oak trees, my shingles, my landscaping, and my house was pushed around causing cracks in my drywall and my garage door to be knocked off its rails. A tree went through my wifes car and mine had to be repainted due to the wind blown debris. We were lucky that none of the trees landed on our house.
