Daughter didn't hear any sirens at all. Even standing and looking at out of the window, she heard nothing. She is on 5th floor of apartment though in northern most point in the Gulch.

I just saw that -- 17 of the 23 confirmed dead are all from Putnam county/Cookeville area. No words man. That community is going to be rebuilding for a long time. It sounds like the Baxter area got hit from all sides

Yeah we had minutes before I felt the house vibrate. It was surreal.
I feel so lucky after seeing East. It was just devastating.
The community was already coming together to clean up though. I even saw several kids with wagons and wheelbarrows filled with debris. That’s a tight knit area and they’ll be ok.
I echo the North Nashville comment above. Some of those lower income areas are destroyed and I doubt will ever rebuild.

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.

Some of them were holding out for property values to keep going up and then cash out. Now they're screwed. I feel for them.

Also, the highest they can rank these tornadoes is EF-3. To rank higher they need professional engineering surveyors to come in, so look for these storms to be upgraded.

Strong 3 or weak 4.
It was a big stovetop.

Now up to 19, and as of an hour ago only 50% of the homes have been checked. I grew up there, it's heartbreaking. Smh.
The aerial footage shook me. Nothing left but foundations. Houses reduced to matchsticks.

Finally got the aerial footage over Putnam county. I grew up going to the pool you see at the :35 mark. Looks like a very powerful tornado

My God. The 1:00, 3:20 and 4:30 marks

Man just obliterating house after house in the middle of the night.

Horrible news

That is extremely difficult to watch.

Had one of these for years.
Get alerts on it a good 2-3 mins before EBS or text alerts.

That is horrible

It’s eerie watching the overhead videos from right after these big tornadoes, it looks like someone rolled a 250’ diameter bowling ball weighing 100 tons through these areas. Such a distinct path of travel. Big tornadoes and tsunamis are two scary arse situations I don’t ever want to find myself in

Lot of them folks in Putnam Co. didn't have a chance. No where to run or hide from that. Posted on 3/3/20 at 6:27 pm to BigOrangeBri
That's tough to see man.. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was impacted by the Tornado.
Posted on 3/3/20 at 6:32 pm to BigOrangeBri
Man, that's hard to watch. My parents live off of Plunk Whitson Rd which got crushed. I live in Knoxville and am not overly familiar with that area outside of the route I take when I come visit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the clip. I got emotional today thinking about how close it was for them being gone in the blink of an eye and for everyone dealing with losses & having to pick up the pieces from it. Is everyone you know in the area O.k?

This tornado is really a reminder of the importance of having a good way (or multiple good ways) to get warnings. Tornado sirens cannot be heard by many people (unless you are nearby them or are outside), particularly when they are asleep. Weather radio alarms and the built in alerts on your phone will scare you to death when they go off in the middle of the night, but they certainly do their job. I wish everyone would see that having a NOAA weather radio in your home is right there with having good smoke detectors in terms of importance.
