Here are a couple snippets from around 536 pm as listed on said link (capital letters produced by the Memphis NWS):
"ROOF BLOWN OFF OF PINNACLE AIRLINE HANGER AT MEMPHIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. PLANES WERE MOVED. AIRSTAIRS MOVED 100 YARDS. MOVED A 737 AIRPLANE A FOOT."
"ROOF DAMAGE AT FEDEX FIRE STATION AT MEMPHIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 73 KT GUST REPORTED BY WIND SENSOR."
Wow, I've been watching the news since 5ish and had't seen that reported. Maybe I was just watching the wrong station, but they has focused mainly on the Hicory Ridge mall which sustained a lot of damage.
