The National Weather Service in Nashville has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for several counties in Tennessee, including Northeastern Montgomery County, Northwestern Davidson County, Central Sumner County, Northeastern Cheatham County, and Robertson County. The warning is in effect until 11:15 pm CT, with severe thunderstorms moving east at 65 mph. Wind gusts of up to 70 mph are possible, which could cause significant tree damage and damage to mobile homes, roofs, and outbuildings. A tornado watch is also in effect until 3:00 am CT for Middle Tennessee and Clarksville-Montgomery County.

Residents are advised to move to the lowest floor of their building's interior room for safety. The severe weather could particularly affect mobile homes, roofs, and sheds, which are likely to sustain damage. Firefighters have already been busy in California after days of heavy rain, rescuing cows and other farm animals from deep mud. Video footage on social media showed wind funneling off roofs and hurling debris into the air, leaving at least one person injured in the tornado. People are urged not to drive through flooded roads and stay informed about the latest weather alerts.
