Storm Summary
At approx.4pm yesterday April 16 strong Tornados of magnitude F-3 hit Nashville,Tenn. At approx.730pm a tornado warning went out to western NC counties (Buncome,Henderson,Etc.).A strong mesocyclone was verified on doppler radar and was tracked past Statesville as a strong cell still not producing any tornados but carring the sig. of tornatic possabilities.As the storm passed over Henderson County (where I live) it dropped egg size hail and was accompnied by 40mph winds. There was ninimal damage to property buy I would say the nerve damage will be here for a long time since the people in this area of the mountains are not used to this kind of weather.
