cinciman7 2 Posted April 8, 2006 We were lucky! High winds, a mountain of Hail piled up against the house and 3" of rain. All in about 5-10 minutes. Lots of local stores had there signs destroyed. Looks like TN got pounded again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 360 Posted April 8, 2006 8 deaths in Sumner Country, just 20 or so miles north of me. Thats where the city of Gallatin was hit really bad. The footage from a helicoptor showed the damage where a tornado hit Volunteer State Community College tearing the roofs up and scattering cars around the parking lot, Across the street it hit 3 car dealerships and left cars and trucks on top of each other as well as damaging the buildings. It then hit a large subdivision where it did major damage, tore up a lot of homes, took off roofs, took off entire second floors and left piles of rubble where homes used to be. These were large brick homes. They showed metal power poles bent in half, tractor trailers overturned along the roads. Rough day in this area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some pictures Some "good" pictures of the damage. They said it was the worst day- tornado wise- we've seen in 8 years. Fred, Sho Nuff, what part of Mid Tenn do you guys live? I'm out in Lebanon. We had one storm cell hit us about 4 pm, hard rain, pea sized hail, and steady lightening & thunder. Wilson County was pretty much spared, but Sumner County, right next door, got hammered. At some point we should consider a Mini Geekfest during the off season. Maybe at the Beer Seller one afternoon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EndGame 0 Posted April 8, 2006 I'm a little shocked to see that we didn't have any here in Richmond, given the way the winds were for a while there. I would have thought there would have been at least a microburst or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Antioch near Hickory Hollow mall. All we got here was a little hail, nothing bad. Beer Seller wouldn't be a bad idea. I usually go there about 2-3 times a year before Titans games.
