Kassia Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Glad you are okay. Those are some scary storms. I saw the video from Hendersonville and it's horrible. I have three friends in Clarksville who are all okay but they said the damage is very bad and there have been fatalities. 😞 Hope everyone is safe.

fairfarmhand Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Powers back. Dh on the phone trying to get power to various plants in Nashville. And the pics from Clarksville and Hendersonville do look terrible . Dd21 works at Clarksville Chick-fil-A and spent the evening sitting in their freezer. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my grandmother isn’t watching the news tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching friends there post that they're okay and also posting pics of the devastation. Dh's former co-worker lives about a mile from the touchdown. I miss my friends there, but I really don't miss all of the tornado scares there. We have some in Ohio but nothing like there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about the greater neighborhood ( I’m new here and a bit of an introvert). 114 houses destroyed and over 800 damaged. 3 deaths, 60? injured. Schools have been closed for the week. 1100 still without power. Public school bus drivers are transporting volunteers to affected areas. Churches have set up the donations, portable showers and laundry trailers. So many local business are cooking or donating their services free of charge. The outpouring of help is amazing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 We were in Goodlettsville during the tornado for my BIL's Celebration of Life. It was in a golf clubhouse which was mostly windows. We were without power for a couple hours. There were many families there who came for the piano recital of his students and they had planned to leave thought better of being on the road at that time. Since we were in from out of town and not familiar with the larger Nashville area, had no idea were the path was in relation to where we were. I spent much of the time in a hallway by the bathrooms while most of the attendees hung out in that death trap of a room. My super sweet daughter was entertaining her 4 year old cousin by making shadow puppets with the phone flashlight. I am so sad to hear about the death and destruction. Glad to hear that the boardies here are safe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
