MM’s Severe Wx Concerns
On This Day in Wx History
1925- An F-4 tornado rips a 60-mile path from near Buck Lodge (8 miles north of Gallatin) to Barren County, Kentucky. Homes are swept away in many communities, including in Keytown, Angle, Oak Grove, and Liberty. As many as eight people die in one home. Trees are blown down in steep valleys as well as on hilltops. At least 29 people are killed in Sumner County, with one woman dying from her injuries one month after the tornado. Crossing into Kentucky, the tornado strikes Holland, killing 4, and Beaumont, killing 8 more. Over 150 homes are damaged or destroyed. There are a total of 41 fatalities, and 95 injuries. This is the 3rd deadliest tornado ever to strike Middle Tennessee.

MM News
Thanks to generous donations and a grant from Volunteer Electric, we raised enough money for tablets for my Meteorologist Mark classes for kids!!! How awesome is that!? In addition to the hands-on activities that we do, these tablets will even further enhance the learning experience! Thank you all so very much!
The last MM class was postponed due to weather. That class has been rescheduled for March 24. We are always thankful for TCAT’s support in hosting our classes and for being so good to us!

Our next book signing event will be Saturday, April 30 at GrinderHouse Coffee on Main Street in Crossville. Come out and visit us between 11:00-1:00! We sure would love to see ya!
I’m proud to be the Deputy Director of Creative because Creative benefits mainly local low-income residents with various housing needs, including rent, utility, or mortgage assistance. Anyone can encounter a time when they need a hand up and Creative is here to help in any way we can! Since January 1st we’ve helped 12 families with rent/mortgage/utility assistance who have encountered loss of work mainly due to sickness. We can help with these needs even if you are not considered “low-income” because we know anyone can fall on hard times because of sickness or a death in the family.
With the help of donations, we’ll be able to help even more folks, including our veterans and elderly residents who need our help. For more info on our organization or to give (any amount is appreciated!), please see https://ccihomes.org/ and/or let me know if you have any questions or fundraising ideas!
If you or someone you know needs a high school diploma just let me know and I’ll help you get that degree! Contact me or someone at the adult education center today to get the diploma you’ve always wanted! http://www.pcsstn.com/home
You all have a great day and keep lookin’ up!
