27 april super cells sliding by

            About 1900 the first warnings that concerned me were posted.  A line of separate and entrained super cell thunderstorms moved into the Chattanooga area.  They were the lineal descendents of a cell that hit a hospital in Alabama.  By sundown, the cells extended into N.E. TN and their proximity and severity increased inversely to the remaining daylight. 

            The winds that seem calming. Benevolent, and cooling during non-storm days are now insistent upon our attention to their flow and alterations in flow.  They must be listened to tonight and they bring concern from all quarters.  In the absence of daylight and with no early warning system beyond the NWS radar feeds and the local TV stations, it is a night to listen intently.
