Day 9 - Nashville to Memphis
It took us about 3 hours to drive from Nashville to Memphis. The drive was monotonous because it was mile after mile of green trees on either side of the highway. A few miles of it was fine but 3 hours was a little too much.
The view from our room is fabulous. It is on the fourth floor and gave us a grand view of what was about to happen.......
The weather report put us directly in the path of a tornado. We asked our hotel hostess what we should do if the tornado should strike, and she told us to come down to the lobby for a wine party...or was that whine. Anyway, the lobby is 4 stories floor to ceiling windows and so we are still wondering why we should huddle under masses of glass.
We started watching TV and all the channels were predicting severe weather, thunderstorms and tornado strikes.
We found the tips on TV to be quite interesting. Although there was quite a bit of hoopla, all we saw was about 30 minutes of light rain, no lightning and NO TORNADO. It was an interesting evening though, wondering if we had to run for cover.
