McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Update on Rose-Anne and tornado activity I heard from Rose-Anne. The tornado that was aiming at her touched down somewhere else in the county. They were still under watches until she went to work. The wind is horrible here in East Tennessee -- if this is what went through Mississippi earlier today, I can see why she was worried. Thanks for all the prayers in her behalf and on behalf of the other Mississippians who were in the weather's path. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2000 03:18:46 -0800 From: "Billie R.
