After a thorough review of the damage by the National Weather Service (more information may still be forthcoming), spanning an area from just west of Nashville east to the Cookeville region, one of the strongest tornadoes I have seen in a while affecting a populated region did indeed produce EF-3 to EF-4 damage along its path.
At least 2 dozen people died with hundreds injured. This was a night time event complicated by the storm's forward motion approaching 65 mph! In addition, the report states it could have been worse, but the churning tornado producing EF-4 damage dissipated before reaching the most populous area of Cookeville.
Honestly, even with a weather radio, it would have been considered miraculous if nobody died.
Many thanks to the efforts of on-air meteorologists, the NWS, first responders, and other emergency response officials during this tragic event.
