Over this past week there have a series of very serious, very deadly storms that ripped through the Southeast and up into the Northeast. I am limited in my scope, but what I have seen is typical of the damage produced by these storms. Luckily we have remained relatively tornado-free in Knoxville, but straight line winds have caused their fair share of damage.
All of the photos so far are from Monday's storm damage. I have yet to get out and see the damage from tonight's storms but there apparently has been a huge amount of hail dumped around our area. I'm hearing reports of entire parking lots with every window busted out. There have been dozens of fatalities already confirmed from the storms, which really hit worst in Alabama. Keep these areas in your minds as things have been really tough the past few days for many people.
Seeing the damage on the news is always a bit dulled down due to the scale of it. Each of us can connect better with a photo like the one below. Just imagine if that vehicle was yours.
I will follow up with this post with more coverage of the damage and some video of the storm tonight.
