The Fort Worth tornado hit around 7pm, so all the 9-5 folks had gone home. I can't remember what time of day the Nashville one hit.

The Nashville one in 1998 was mid-afternoon. I had just gotten out of school, but they kept us all there because of the storms. We watched the funnel cloud spin over the school before it dropped down a few blocks away by Vanderbilt and then on into downtown. My dad was working across the interstate from the Titans Stadium (LP field now) and it was being built. He watched out the window as all of the cranes and buildling equipment lifted up and slammed back down.
Besides that one, I just tend to be way too close to tornadoes, and not actually right up in them. I've started to think the damn things are following me around... Nashville, then 3 in Jackson, then Memphis... I just keep being thankful I haven't been caught in one yet.
