I hope all the Nashville and other TN FReepers in that storm’s path are safe. That was a nasty, long-lived storm.
We haven’t been hit with anything yet but the southern end of the line hasn’t gotten here. Our turn will be later this morning. That end just passed Memphis and the storms look to be strengthening a bit.
Oh no! Two confirmed dead in Nashville. Just reported on Channel 5.
No school
Election Day
I’m in Lebanon about 25 miles east of Nashville. Tornadoes went from Mt. Juliet to about 10 miles east. Tornadoes stayed about 200 yards to 500 yards north of I-40. A lot of houses destroyed in Mt. Juliet. Many businesses with no power and accepted cash only if they were open at all. Mostly fallen trees and broken windows and roof damage to houses in Lebanon. Many, many power poles blown down.
My wife and brother and I took the truck and chainsaw and cleared trees off houses and out of driveways within 3 miles of our house.
We had no damage at all. Power was out from 1:30 am until about 4:30 pm. Internet is still out. Using my cell as a hotspot.
My daughter is at school at TTU in Cookeville where 18 are confirmed dead and 77 still unaccounted for. Search crews have been called off because it is too dark and dangerous to stumble around with all the debris.
