STORM UPDATE - ELKMONT

Once again those of us on the Hill Top were spared from tornado damage.  As is often the case when the projected tornado path is on a beeline toward Elkmont, the storm will turn to the east and go south of us.  If you look at the paths of various tornadoes since 1951, they either disappear before they get to us or stay south.  

We do have our share of cleaning up to do today after yesterday's storms but ours is the occasional downed tree, limbs, or flooded basements.  The Hill Spirit has six inches of rain in a bucket that was left outside.  We also had big hail yesterday. It was reported that our fire department had baseball size hail.
