Are all Middle TN posters okay?

[bamawriter]

Maybe this should get moved, but I was hoping for a kind of check-in thread to make sure all posters in and around Nashville are okay after the tornado. I live South of town and had nothing but heavy wind and rain. But the images coming out of Germantown and Five Points are terrible.

Please let us know if you're in need of anything.

I'm still waiting to here from my friends down there. Hope everyone's friends and family are safe and sound.

Nine dead at last report. East Nashville & east to Cookeville bore the brunt, I believe. Here in west Nashville this F-3 tornado passed north. Scary stuff. Thanks for the concern.

my son lives near Charlotte Pike and Vandy/Belmont campuses....the storms went around him but devastation is everywhere.

We live in Murfreesboro and don't have damage, but my nephew lives in Mt. Juliet and his house was hit hard. All are ok, as the kids heard the sirens and woke up mom and dad and all got to a safe room. Prayers are appreciated, as I am so grateful they are ok..

 

[Boca Vol]

I saw this earlier today. Hope all are safe...MadWorld, glad your nephew's family is OK.

So thankful all of my family there is safe. Prayers out to all those affected. Especially those who lost loved ones

I don’t live far from John C Tune and slept through the whole thing

Just raised the death toll to 19. Putnam county with 14 of those. So heartbreaking.

My youngest son was about a mile north of the track as it passed over 65 and my Brother in law was about a mile north of the track through Mt. Juliet.

Whoa. That's scary. Really glad everyone's okay.

I am and all my friends/family are too. My place of work...not so much. Most of the campus completely demolished. i'm currently on the longest conference call in history discussing our disaster plan and getting the servers back up and running.

Went through Mt Juliet around 1 AM. Phone went off and work me up. Got my kids and wife crammed into the bathroom closet. Found out me and the dogs are on our own now. Didn't hit us but houses about a mile to the north got hit hard.

I live in Lebanon. We actually got under the house. Scary scary stuff.

We're fine. Ended up being about 8 miles north of the track of the one that hit Mt Juliet and Lebanon.

My bride of 32 years and I were walking around the yard this morning at about 6 am picking up bits of styrofoam, insulation, shingles, and other construction materials deposited at 5-foot intervals across the lawn. Literally thousands of scraps of what used to be homes and businesses. Very few pieces bigger than your hand, all ground up in the violent winds before being rained back down. It felt almost like we were standing a vigil for some poor folks we've never met. I'm sure the tornado that hit East Nashville and Hermitage is the one that carried the litter that ended up on our grass ... the tornado that hit nearer us was on a track too far south to have dumped debris where we live.

Heart goes out to all those families and business owners and workers who are in a tough way today.

Have several family members that live in the Nashville area and are ok....One said it went about a mile from him in the Donelson area.

 

[sport3500]

I am listening to 99.1 and hope everyone in Nashville and the surrounding areas are safe.

 

[GreveHaller]

Donelson Christian Academy is gone. West Wilson middle school too

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

EF 3. 22 confirmed dead now. We are about 15 miles south, just missed us.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

These things are worse when they do night marches. It makes them sneaky, hard to see, and most people are off guard. Will pray for all and hope they setup phone donate number shortly, they usually do.

 

[Offset Eye]

Missed me in Mount Juliet by a quarter mile. Damage is horrible. A bunch of homes and a couple schools are destroyed. Awful.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Childhood and family Church was destroyed. Otherwise fine.

Donelson Christian Academy is gone. West Wilson middle school too

being at night I guess it saved alot of lives - cringe to think if school was in session
