On my way to Franklin with my youngest son for his Select Ball tournament, which turned into a storm chase. Was too far behind to get to the Franklin tornado, but did see some funnel clouds w/another supercell that blew up SE of the Franklin storm. Pray for those impacted. pic.twitter.com/2DqDEHA9Ys
