At least nine people have been killed according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency -- four in Putnam County, two in Nashville, two in Wilson County and one in Benton County -- after a devastating tornado ripped through Nashville in the early hours of Tuesday morning with authorities saying many others being injured and multiple businesses and homes flattened.

The destruction came amid an outbreak of at least reported five twisters in three states -- Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky -- and East Nashville as well as the suburb of Mt. Juliet were hit particularly hard.

Mt. Juliet Police Department issued an update in the early morning hours Tuesday.

Nothing from the SPC or NWS on Tornado Strength yet.  I am guessing F4.  If so, last one that strong in that area of TN was back in '98.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

That is a large number of deaths for a tornado.

I wonder if there were a lot in a building that collapsed.

(I have relatives in the area that, thankfully, are fine).
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I imagine since the tornado touched down around 1 AM that most folks didn’t know this was about to happen. I also imagine there were thousands of young children traumatized waking up to the otherworldly sound of winds in proximity to the funnel. Lot’s of future nightmares were spawned last night.

CBS Affiliate Reporter’s Harrowing On-The-Ground Tornado Video Looks Like A Scene From The Movie ‘Twister’

A CBS reporter for the network’s affiliate WTVF filmed a harrowing on-the-ground video of the deadly tornado as it hit the news station in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday morning.

Photojournalist Dan Blommel shot the video, which began outside and showed the lightning flashes from the incoming tornado. The reporter’s voice was stressed as he instructed Blommel to get inside of the building, and the duo continued the report as the tornado made a direct hit.

“The tornado is coming,” the reporter can be heard saying. “All right Dan, there it is! Go! Inside! Go! Now! Get inside, folks.”

Been on the phone with my brother and family all day... My brother lives just outside of Nashville. He was south of it, but his office was perilously close. Thankfully all is well with him and his, though he has friends he can't yet contact.

NWS Nashville
✔
@NWSNashville

Updated info from today's surveys:
Germantown/North Nashville: EF-2 (125 mph)
East Nashville/Five Points: EF-3 (136-140mph)
Donelson: EF-3 (160-165mph)
Mt. Juliet: EF-3 (155-160mph)

The damage in these neighborhoods is quite possibly from the same tornado. Stay tuned.
