MT. JULIET, Tenn. - An EF-2 tornado touched down in Mt. Juliet, and one of the things it took aim at was a 3 story building where some people were sleeping on the top floor. The National Weather Service says the storm slammed into the city with winds of 115mph. It stayed on the ground for 5 minutes as it moved for 4 miles across Lebanon Road. Several buildings were damaged, including one with people in bed.
"I was laying in bed, looking up when the top went off the building," says storm survivor Stan Adams. "I jumped up and took off running, tried to get in the hallway and ended up getting stuck and everything fell on top of me."
Stan Adams and the rest of the men were trapped for almost half an hour under debris before crews could finally get them out safely.

Memphis suburbs to hold school referendum July 16
May 25, 2013 19:37 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- All six Memphis suburbs have set a July 16 date to hold referendums on establishing municipal school systems.
WMC-TV (http://bit.ly/11jsNCA) reports the Shelby County Election Commission approved the date during a meeting on Friday. The action came after all six suburbs passed ordinances calling for a referendum on the issue on that date.
Residents in the communities voted last year to approve the municipal school districts, but a judge struck the decisions down.
Tennessee lawmakers passed legislation this year lifts a ban on municipalities forming their own districts, clearing the way for another vote.
