Here goes my first post:

Below is a pic a friend took of the tornado in Franklin County at Sewanee.  The pic is at the intersection of 41-A and University Ave.  

I didn't actually get to see the tornado myself because I wasn't in the right place, which burns me up because it was probably within a quarter mile of my dorm.  Maybe next time.
