March 12 & 13, 2016.. I am sorry I am late in getting the update out for yesterday (March 12th). I were delayed in getting our internet access for this apartment today due to not having the network password. 
We left home on Saturday headed to Little Rock at 7:20am which was a little earlier than we normally are able to leave by about 40 minutes. We thought we were doing well with the early departure. We decided to take the route through Bulls Gap to get on Interstate 81, but as soon as we got up on the entrance ramp we saw that all the traffic was at a standstill. The delay was due to a truck burning, and we found out later that a woman was killed due to a secondary accident after we came through that area. 
We had an uneventful but tiresome trip to Little Rock but when we got to Memphis, there was another backup due to road repair. My brother, who lives in Memphis, told me an alternate route to take to avoid the repair area. We also took time out to visit with my brother for about an hour and a half while in the area. We left Memphis in the rain and later it was raining hard and was dark. It was really difficult to see at times. We arrived at the apartment at Pallisades at about 10:15 pm EST.
We just rested up and enjoyed having no schedule today. We have a busy test schedule the next two days. 
Right now, there are tornado warnings out and the warning sirens are going off all around the area. It is a pretty unnerving sound. I have never heard a tornado warning siren before.  It looks like the situation might be getting better now for the area where we are located. I sure hope so.
