CNN says that two people were killed by the Murfreesboro storm, which we have new raw video of now, check the player to your right momentarily.

UPDATE 6 PM: Below is video from the Murfreesboro tornado. The StormMatrix below shows 18 tornado reports today, with 350 Tornado Warnings issued in the last 24 hours. For further updates tonight, follow my 'accuweather' Twitter feed or view J's Breaking Weather News at right.

UPDATE 3 PM: Check our News page for a video by Henry Margusity and a photo of the Murfreesboro Tornado, and more details from the local newspaper.The SPC has issued a rare high risk for severe thunderstorms in northern Alabama and Georgia and the Chattanooga area... so this may get worse before it gets better. RADAR WALLPAPERS!




UPDATE 2 PM: Incredible volume of Tornado Warnings issued today -- over 100 issued today, but over 50 in the last hour alone! According to the StormMatrix, at least one tornado has been spotted in Kentucky.

A terrifyingly strong supercell thunderstorm is currently in northwest Alabama:

StormMatrix Stats Box:

At noon, Tennessee is covered from top to bottom in severe storms and tornado warnings. The Nashville webcams are about to get interesting. No tornado spotter reports have come in as of 12:30 PM, but monitor the live StormMatrix Stats Box below this afternoon. As of this writing, there have been 143 tornado warnings issued since 8 PM last night.
