On This Day
1951- A rare late-season winter weather event produces an inch of snow at Nashville. The high of 43 is the lowest high temperature ever recorded on this date.
2006 – Tornadoes and hail as big as softballs ripped through eight Midwestern states, killing at least 27 people, injuring scores and destroying hundreds of homes. In Tennessee, tornadoes killed 23 people, including an infant and a family of four. Severe thunderstorms, many producing tornadoes, also struck parts of Iowa, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Strong wind was blamed or at least three deaths in Missouri. The weather service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said it had preliminary reports of 63 tornadoes. The worst damage occurred throughout the Tennessee Valley. This outbreak produced an EF-1 tornado in Cumberland County. The storm report filed by the NWS Nashville states,
” Six homes were destroyed (2 were mobile homes). 6 other homes with 50% of the structure damaged and a total of 181 homes damaged. There was $3.2 million estimate for just homes. This estimate did not include out-buildings or vehicles. Final debris estimates on clean-up have reached over $200,000. Final damage estimate will approach $4 million. SHAMBURGER (2015): Radar data and Google Earth aerial imagery indicate this tornado began further southwest and had a longer path than originally determined, and the time and path length of this tornado were corrected accordingly. Of note, this tornado was the 5th tornado since 1995 to affect the same two mile wide zone on the south side of Crossville.”
