EF0 tornado in Cumberland County, Tennessee

EF-0 tornado with maximum winds 70 to 80 mph touched down near the intersection of Pomona Road and U.S Highway 70N. Damage continued northeast approximately 4.5 miles to near the intersection of Potato Farm Road and U.S Highway 127. Numerous trees were snapped and twisted along the 50 to 100 yard wide path.

During the early morning hours on Wednesday, April 27th, twelve tornadoes occurred across Middle Tennessee. Seven of these were EF0 tornadoes and five of these were EF1 tornadoes. Numerous thunderstorm wind damage events, along with several flash flooding events, occurred across the mid state also. This severe weather outbreak was the result of a very unstable airmass across Middle Tennessee ahead of a strong frontal system, with a warm front positioned near the Tennessee/Alabama border. As this frontal system pushed across the area through the remainder of the morning through the early evening hours, several thunderstorm wind and flash flood events also occurred as additional severe thunderstorms developed.
