Old Hickory = north Nashville, so that makes sense - they must have had at least strong winds and hail...

They defintely lost power.

I hope they get the backup office working, because that storm is about to be in unwarned counties.

Oh yeah... it's only a matter of time. BMX is expecting explosive development after 4pm in the northern parts of their area, shifting southward SLOWLY through the evening. Could be well after Midnight before it clears the area.

All of the local Nashville stations are off of cable, right now, as well - I
