Storm damage Mt Juliet

[RED333]

Tree blew down onto the power line just down from my place, pulled down my pole and bent my service entrance.  We are all ok, just waiting on MTEMC to fix things, they are busy right now as it is, so might be a bit,

Thankful y’all made it through that safely.  It sure did hit hard & fast!

4 hours and counting without power in Columbia.

Trees and some lines down all over it seems like.

[hipower]

Blew through my part of East Nashville about 5 I think. Lots of swaying trees and a few small limbs down, but nothing like you guys got.

[MacGyver]

We took a pretty hard hit in Brentwood

Lost my kids’ favorite tree.

Power poles snapped on the nearby street.  Worse, the fire department hit the live lines with their truck as the we’re racing down the street.  They whipsawed the attached transformer about 100 yards down the street.  Wildly, they didn’t seem to notice. They never stopped.

I expect it’s gonna be a minute before the power comes back.

Got pretty rough here in Dickson county. No damage to our house but a tree fell at my in laws and ripped the power lines off there house. A friend of ours down the road got some roof damage and some down trees.

My front yard. Just clipped the house.

Dang guys, hate to hear all this, but glad everyone seems to of made it through unharmed. Here in Clarksville we had some strong winds but nothing as bad as all that, just a short downpour then steady drizzle for a couple hours.  Hope the next one isn't as bad for everyone.

That’s going to be a big cleanup Mike. Hollar if you need any help.

Those straight line winds were no joke as the storm moved through. Luckily we did not have any major damage around us in Bellevue. We lost power but only for a minute or two. 

[Grand Torino]

What a mess...glad y'all are safe. No real damage around my place but that wind was crazy for a bit. I thought for sure trees were coming down. I wasn't really paying attention and it really caught me by surprise. I don't startle easily but I admit I was concerned for a bit.

[Mark A]

We got the snot knocked out of us in Santa Fe...

If it isn't COVID-19 it's the weather.  This year is just using our nads as a speed bag. Hoping everybody isn't without power for too long.

Still with no power, MTEMC has not been by at all, but I know they are very busy. Would not be so bad but the wires are across the drive way and can not get out.

[Chris]

Same here. Power lines across the driveway. That was a doozy of a storm. 

[peejman]

Glad you guys are ok. And glad it fizzled out before it got here. I wasn't looking forward to another late night storm. 

[AuEagle]

Happy you all are safe, hope the damage was minimal.

After having part of a tree fall on my fence a couple of weeks ago, this time I lost half a Bradford Pear. 

 

 

[RED333]

Bradford pear will drop a limb for no reason. Hackberry is the same way. They develop a deep crotch that'll rot and break away. And they're calling for more bad weather later this evening.

[Handsome Rob]

No major damage here, thankfully. Lots of trees & lines down in Tullahoma. No power since 17:00 yesterday.

You are right about that.  They are beautiful trees, especially when in bloom, but make sure you are not facing them when you sneeze. lol

Took some serious damage to our fence, does anybody know a good fence company that does work in Mount Juliet?

 

 

[gregintenn]

We missed the wind and only got rain. It looks bad around Gallatin and Lebanon as well.

AGREED!! Again, when I ran a parts route. I was in Brentwood almost every day. Bradford Pear trees will fall in a moderate wind I think. Beautiful trees, but very fragile. I can't even begin to put a count on how many of them I saw down when I did the Brentwood/Franklin run.

As far as Hackberry trees, I've had my share and more of fun from them. We've lived here for 16 years and it seem every year we have one, or a part of one fall. Having one high topped this week that is split and will fall on the house. Hate paying for it, but don't want the hassle of an insurance claim on it, cause it will fall after a large portion is taken out.

Sorry to hear that, Mark. I sometimes wound up there on my route. It's beautiful country.

Had an account that worked on VWs. Probably didn't see him more than twice a year.

I always said though, once I got there, I couldn't get out. It was far away from my usual stops. lol
