Hopefully the back up office can take over if the offical one was hit. The unwarned area's need warning.

Annette, have you had any severe stuff in or near the Summertown area?

People trapped in homes and a college near Gallatin.

This sounds really bad.

The NWS is working out of Morristown/Knoxville for the moment.

Stupid question -- where do you find NWS storm reports? It's probably right in front of my eyes, but I can't see it on the Nashville page.

Morristown WFO taking over for Nashville,

Not really updated recently though, a lot of the reports are from local media.

All the schools in the Nasville metro north are under lockdown until further notice.

Not yet, Eric. There's one cell just to the county west of me (Lewis)
that has a rotating cloud being watched by spotters. If it stays on
track, it will graze just to my north.

Which they should be. It is only for north Nashville for the moment (north of Briley Parkway - the main beltway)

Actually, I meant the text lists of storm damage, sorry.

#153 Postby **CrazyC83** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 2:53 pm

Two new supercells approaching the metro area...one should remain in mostly rural areas between Franklin and Spring Hill (but threaten many commuters on I-65), the other should cross South Nashville.

The TVS should stay in the southern part of town. Areas such as Bellevue, Brentwood, La Vergne and Antioch are at risk.

Nashville you probably mean - April 16, 1998.
