Nashville has been under a severe weather warning since approximately 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The on-and-off threat of a tornado combined with pretty consistent thunderstorms made for some remarkable imagery involving the clouds overhead.
Let’s take a look at some of the craziest occurrences!
Before we go any further here, let me first stop to say that my thoughts and prayers are with anyone who has been impacted by these storms. That includes people as north as Indianapolis and as west as Arkansas. One storm chaser in the Natural State was nearly overtaken by a tornado during his escapades earlier this week, which provides a real sense of just how scary these last few days have been.
I should also note that when I say “Nashville,” I am not only referring to downtown. A large number of these storms stayed away from the metro area and stayed in the suburbs. My wide-reaching label includes Williamson, Dickson, Cheatham, Rutherford and Marshall counties, among others.
That being said, the city itself was also smacked by some gnarly wind and rain. Tornado sirens kept us awake during the early hours of Thursday morning.
Even the city-slickers like myself spent most of the night in the lowest, most central area of our homes and apartments. Belmont students were pulled out of their dorm rooms to hunker down in a parking garage.
The lightning show was straight out of a movie.
Although the tornado warning in Davidson County eventually expired, tornado watches continued on and off over the next few days. And the rain did not stop.
Some of the videos and images to come from this string of weather are truly insane.
