I was there that day in Chattanooga. Paul Barys here saved lives by refusing to go to commercial and pinpointing with accuracy where the tornadoes were headed.

Lived through it.  Longest, stressful day ever.  Chattanooga got lucky.

Paul Barys will always have my respect for this, man was recovering from heart surgery and he came in to work during all of this so that he could give the people information they needed and maybe save some lives through this crisis.

Without a doubt Paul Barys and his weather crew were the best in the business. I grew up watching Channel 3 and trusted them more than any other news channel. I remember being terrified when the April 2011 tornadoes raged through the South. I spent that day watching the newst and prayed and watched Paul. His calm voice, his early warnings, and his refusal to go to commercial probably saved a lot of lives that day

I will never, ever EVER forget that day.  Neighbors and us dropped everything that day and stayed together watching out of the windows/door and Paul.  The map was like popcorn with the way the cells would pop up out of nowhere, drop a tornado, another cell pops up, repeat.   Nope. I will never forget this day.

I graduated in 2011 from Cleveland. I remember rather than celebrating, spending so much time doing cleanup around my neighborhood. Years of therapy later I’m doing better, however that was easily one of the darkest chapters of my life. I got so lucky- my house had minor damage. I just remember being glued to our weather radio all day with mattresses over our heads, pets herded into closets coming out in between rounds to see if our neighbors were okay. Emerald green sky overhead, shingles littering the streets we’d all gather in the street and exchange what little information we had, then head back into shelter for the next line. I’ll never forget it. I was 17 and that was the first time in my life I saw real fear on faces of people I loved. I got lucky. I knew too many who didn’t though.

I was in the 4th grade back then I remember getting checked out 9am that morning went to my aunts house the storms were literally non stop tornado warning after next scariest day of my life worst tornadoe outbreak of all time

I lived in between Ooltewah/Apison and Ringgold. The skies got super dark and I've never seen a storm quite like that.

I heard that a sign for a funeral home in Trenton, Georgia was later found in the Knoxville area.

I remember that day and how Paul guided us away from the storms. Much of our equipment and vehicles were damaged in Ringgold, Apison, Cleveland i still credit Paul with saving our lives.

Worked at Dupont Chattanooga at the time. I watched on weather channel on the computer while on night shift and was worried. That day is a day I will never forget. I live on Flat Top Mountain in Soddy. We had a EF3 follow the ridge of the mountain and destroy houses a quarter mile from my house. Was unbelievable. The lightning was biblical

I lived on Cherokee valley road in ringgold ga. Our house was a total loss but everyone thankfully was ok.

Me and my wife were in Cleveland. Tornado put two trees on out home. Hole in the roof and tore the front part of the house apart and front roof off. Scared us both but made her afraid of storms from then on. Tonight April 13 2019 is supposed to be bad again. My little soulmate wife passed away Jan 3 2019 a few months ago so she wont have to go through it. Im glad she wont be scared. I hope this storm puts me with her. I miss her so.

I remember this day I live in Cleveland and I remember running to my aunts house and hiding in a close (I lived in a trailer and she lived in a brick house) I remember 3 trees falling on my house and the roof coming off

Live in trenton ga...will never forget

"That is the Funnel Cloud that moved over Ringgold".  Ma'am, That is a F4 Tornado, not a "Funnel Cloud".

Looking for the footage before 10:53pm leading up to this.

I live in Benton... I remember this storm, I lived in a trailer when this happened.

10 years ago, unreal

I have an uncle and some cousins that used to live in Ringgold. Luckily for their home it touched down a mile or so east of their house. I lived in Lawrenceville at the time and was thankful the Atlanta area was somehow spared. The tornadoes that hit GA either split towards the mountains or more towards central GA like LaGrange, Griffin, Barnesville,etc.
