Lil Larry of Hot 107 was sponsoring a Young Jeezy concert at a new club called the Atrium in Hickory Hill, a building that was formerly the Martini Room. I had thought about going, but decided not to, and headed down to the Grove Coffee Shop in Southaven for a breve latte instead. On the way home, I began seeing dark, low clouds and bolts of lightning to the northwest, and once I was home, the storms began in full force. My mother had gone to pick up her husband in Jackson, Tennessee, and they were driving back to Bartlett in the severe weather, so I called them, but they said they were all right. Even so, I was relieved when they got to the house.
