 You are supposed to be trained professional, proficient in report
 writing, and yet your spelling sucks.
 I've worked in the Law Field over 14 years, and I've never turned in
 reports which look like this;

 MM> daybreak and continued all day long with Tornados all day. I have seen
 MM> many natural and manmade disasters from NY on and finally rode one of
 MM> these out. Before today, I have been arond Totnados but this one was
 MM> different Nashville itself was hard hit by 2 Rornados following
 MM> basically same path. My 16 year old son was working in East Nashville
 MM> on Woodland Street and my wife went to get him at about 3:00 pm and
