EF0 tornado in Robertson County, Tennessee

An EF-0 tornado touched down north of Morton Road to the northeast of Greenbrier and moved eastward. Numerous trees were blown down, an outdoor shed was destroyed, and a home on Distillery Road suffered minor damage. More trees were blown down on Gideon Road with at least two homes damaged by falling trees. Additional trees were blown down along the north side of Herbert Shannon Road before the tornado lifted near Highway 76.

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.
