Not a good time to go "Walking In Memphis"
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Storm systems packing winds between 60 and 100 mph tore through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, killing at least three people and prompting officials to try to get Memphis declared a federal disaster area.
The storms blew through the city early Tuesday, killing a man and leaving up to 300,000 without electricity. Straight-line winds knocked over hundreds of trees and tore off roofs, badly damaging homes, businesses and endangering entertainment landmarks.
Let's pray for our friends in Tennessee
