I once saw the aftermath of a tornado, visiting Ohio. Hurricanes are also destructive. But, you have advanced warning for a hurricane. Not, so much for a tornado, or earthquake. I have visited Memphis, known for Barbeque, Blues and Jazz music, and Chattanooga, known for the Civil War Battle at Lookout Mountain. Nashville, TN, I have never visited. But, known for the Grand Ole Opry, and country music. I sympathize with the residents of Nashville. The tornado was at EF-3 level. Eighteen lives have been lost. Some children. Disasters, are slow to recovery sometimes. But, family survival is more important.

I am in a hospital recovering from surgery on monday. The tornado went 100 yards alongside the hospital. Close call. It actually made the building shift in the wind!

I feel for the people of Nashville,
it is very sad for the families, lives lost, homes destroyed.
This really hits home for me, as I'am a survivor of an F4 tornado in 1989.
My home was completely destroyed, myself, my wife, and my two children that were aged 7 and 3 at the time.
My daughter did not survive, the rest of us had injury's which took over 6 months to recover from.
Still after all this time still have not recovered the loss of our daughter, although it does get easier, but with the loss of life you dont get over that.
The house, cars , belonging's are all replicable. Ours was so bad that some things that were ours were found 30 miles away.
Attached is a photo of my little girl.
Sorry for rambling on....

I grew up in Oklahoma, where tornados are a common occurrence. I live in Florida now. We get clear warnings when a hurricane is on its way. I have a friend, who lives in California, who told me that he would not live in Florida because of the hurricanes. I told him that we get plenty of warning when a hurricane is coming. And we have hurricane parties while waiting for them. Do you have earthquake parties in California?

My county and hometown (Putnam and Cookeville) lost 18 lives in that tornado, the most of any locality struck by that storm. that tornado has been rated as an F5.
My family dodged a bullet with this one. My neighborhood was in the extended path of the storm and was peppered with debris fallout from the storm. It apparently lifted from the ground and passed over the northern half of the city.

Please be aware that it is not just Nashville but rather a sixty mile strip affecting numerous cities and counties.
While Nashville is featured on the news the most significant damage was felt the entire path, including my father in laws house in Lebanon TN which is about thirty miles from Nashville.

Do any of you people in Tennessee know anything about Millersville??
I am wondering if they had damage or were affected by the storms.

Millersville is pretty far north, not in the path at all.

According to google it is only about 15 miles.
They must have had some effects from the storm as I have been trying to call the city hall now for two days and nothing. The web-site for city hall says phones are down.
So I'm assuming they had some kind of damage.

Millersville was not in the path of the tornado, but that was a pretty strong line of storms and there could have been wind damage in Millersville.

Thanks for your family story. Sad, it is. Your daughter is adorable. I can understand why you missed her so much.
