| Episode Narrative | 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. |
| Event Narrative | A small, brief and weak EF-0 tornado touched down in White House along Highway 76 just west of Highway 31W, then moved northeast across the Highway 31W and Portland Road intersection area before lifting near Reidway Drive. A few trees were knocked down west of Highway 31W and the sheet metal roof was blown off a building on Highway 31. Part of the metal roof was also blown off a variety store on Portland Road and a few more trees were knocked down east of Portland Road before the tornado lifted. A resident captured the small tornado on video as he drove south on Highway 31. Total path length was 0.71 miles. |
