Preliminary Information Regarding Monday Night’s Tornado Damage

NWS Storm Survey crews have surveyed damage across Davidson, portions of
Wilson and Smith counties with these findings:

John C Tune area: EF-2 (130 mph)

Germantown/North Nashville: EF-2 (125 mph)
East Nashville/Five Points: EF-3 (136-140 mph)
Donelson: EF-3 (160-165 mph)
Mt. Juliet: EF-3 (155-160 mph)
Lebanon in Smith County: EF-1

** PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a tornado count. We will work internally

to determine if we can connect damage paths from today`s surveys.
It is clear, however, that an EF-3 tornado impacted the Nashville
Metro area early this morning.

Storm surveys will continue on Wednesday with teams working in

Davidson and Wilson Counties. NWS Nashville still needs to survey
damage in Putnam County. This survey will begin once it becomes
safe to do so. Information is being released as soon as specific
locations are surveyed, but it will take considerable time to
cover all locations and make final conclusions. Results may be
adjusted over the coming days. Details and maps will be released
as soon as possible.

We ask for patience as these surveys take place. You can monitor
our website and social media posts from the National Weather
Service in Nashville for updates over the next couple of days.
