Apparently a tornado hit the outskirts of Memphis during the night, hence the storm and I slept through it, good job it wasn't direct, I wonder where I would have woken up.

 

20.04.11 - 76) It sounded like thunder crashing

I awoke to see lightening flashing

From my window across the streets

Rain coming down in sheets

Wind whipping it into a spray

Soaking everything in its way

But like as not, in my room it was quite hot

Door open slightly and the rain like mist

Cooling me as if by soothing balm kissed

Then thunder and lightening again let rip

So I thought time to get back to kip

Then on the road again

I would find the wind and rain

When I stopped a rest to take

From the driving take a break

A guy said he and his friends had a fright

A tornado blew near Memphis last night

Made them feel scared and ill

At their motel near Jacksonville

I said I never knew it

Cos’ I had gone and slept right through it
