The wind is strong. The rain is heavy. The sirens sound. Flash flood alerts are on. Tornado warning. Turned on the radio and the regular programming is interrupted. The weather center is offering live coverage and it's almost like a football match live report. Here are excerpts... there's a lot of vocabulary I do not understand.We continue monitoring the storm for you, it's supposed to affect Perry county, Davidson county, Robertson county, Rutherford, Williamson county... The worst probably over in Belvue... Potential for rotation, straight line winds... Franklin should take cover now, it's really getting pounded with heavy rain... Dickson, Franklin, Cool Springs, Nashville, Murfreesboro, Lebanon... Knocking things down right and left... it's in Belmeade now, 7.6 miles southwest of Nashville and moving northeast fast... Damage is expected in the downtown Nashville area as the storm starts arriving now... It's going to be brief but it is going to intensify and the rains that are heavy now are about to become torrential... It's that sort of moment that you hold your breath and hopefully it is moving fast enough... if you are in your home stay away form the windows and in the lowest floor of your house, that's always the safest place... in downtown Nashville it's already beginning to head off... if you took cover, hold for another 10 minutes or so, so that the water gets off the streets... it's still about 25 minutes from Murfreesboro, 35 from Lebanon... numerous wind reports from various weather stations, 60-70 miles an hour, several trees down in several places... 24,000 people without power just in Davidson county... we will continue tracking the storm for you...
It was fast indeed!
