Tornado literally following I-40.

There are some really nasty looking embedded bow echoes in the squall line. There's one about to slam Clarksville, TN. Base velocities are in excess of 64 knots (hurricane force). Another thing to watch out for are tornadoes spawning on the northern bookend vortices of any bow echoes.

Let me answer my own question: It now looks like it's going west of Nashville. So, though it is bad for Dickson, Hurricane Mills, etc., at least it isn't going thru those same areas-- esp. where that bad fire is. (AP is reporting undetermined mumber of people dead from that fire.

Some nasty weather up there! I've been really watching since we have extended family in the Nashville area. It's so frightening! We're under just a slight risk of severe here, but the weather is so weird: sustained wind around 18mph, gusts to 30 or so, temp. @ midnight in early Feb. is 72, and the dewpoint is 67. I think I better sleep not only to face kids at the crack of dawn but also possible severe weather around the same time! Stay safe everyone!
