Are we beginning to see supercell storms?

Last night, east tn there was no warning whatsoever when a line of storms formed and blew(literally) through the area. Almost all of knoxville and surrounding areas lost power, schools lost their roofs, trees down, billboards down, etc etc.

This is the second time this year there has been no warning of storms that just fire up and race off here. We weren't even under a watch last night, had less then 20% chance of even seeing rain.

Some of the storm pictures can be found here on the local news channel.

I know tell me about it. Each hour we would be in severe warning mode of when it would be over and didn't end until close 2:30AM, First they said it would be end by 8:15, then it went to 9:15, than to 11:15., then 1:15, and finally 2:00AM, they couldn't make up their minds.
