EF0 tornado in Davidson County, Tennessee

An EF-0 tornado touched down along Greer Road northwest of Goodlettsville and moved eastward, blowing down dozens of trees, power lines and some power poles as it moved across Lakeside Drive, Freeman Hollow Road, Lickton Pike, Old Springfield Road, and Highway 41. More trees were blown down on the east side of Goodlettsville on Patton Branch Road and Madison Creek Road before the tornado lifted.

A QLCS (Quasi-linear Convective System) moved across Middle Tennessee during the early morning hours of May 4, 2021. This line of thunderstorms spawned a total of 14 EF-0 tornadoes throughout Middle Tennessee, at least 4 of which were captured on video by local residents. In addition to the tornadoes, significant straight-line wind damage also affected many other areas of Middle Tennessee, and was just as damaging as the tornadoes in many cases. Thankfully, no injuries or deaths were reported.

Special thanks goes to Middle Tennessee emergency management, tSpotter coordinators, and the public for their assistance and helpful information with these difficult and lengthy storm surveys.
