Final damage assessment reports by Murfreesboro Building and Codes employees indicate a total of 519 structures were impacted by an EF-4 tornado that ravaged northern and northeastern areas of the city Friday. This morning, the storm path was increased from the original 15 mile long, half mile wide path to 30 mile long path.
The devastation and destruction is horrible. There were actually 4 or so different tornados that touched down in our community. Many of our friends lost their homes completely. For us, a storm passed over our area but fortunately the tornado stayed in the area and did not affect our home.
Thank you for all your prayers, e-mails, and calls during this time. Your concern is very touching. We are expecting another day of severe thunderstorms, so you can imagine that everyone is rather jumpy today.
