Line is getting closer to the mountains of eastern TN/KY now....west of Nashville it's flatlands. BUT I've seen tornadoes in the mountains too...so that theory won't work. Forgot, I worked a tornado in the Great Smoky Mt National Park in the 80's.

[charlesw]

we are in a valley here ... all around are mountains... but we still will be getting these winds.
