well I am alive... the only thing I did wrong is stop the video about 5 seconds too soon... there was a full sky light up of lightning just after I stopped the video

amazingly I still have power

Lots of rain and wind... not sure if there is any damage I would say 60-70 mph winds

Around Nashville I think was the worst damage. At least 1, probably several, tornadoes confirmed there and many reports of 80 mph winds.

I was skeptical, but they we're right. Thats why they're the best.
