Saw a large mountain lion on the way home from work this morning (driving down Mount Lemmon). First one I've seen in the wild since moving here in 2019. Enjoy!

Classic hook echo and Tornado Debris Signature on Radar east of Memphis very close to Slayden. Seen many of these today. Bad #tornado outbreak. Hope folks are heeding warnings. #severeweather
