LIVE briefing on the NASHVILLE TORNADO with preliminary EF3 rating

[@jenniferbossert2088]

I’m in Cookeville TN and they have confirmed 16 fatalities. The destruction is devastating! 😭

[@Deansweatherwatch4167]

Jennifer, so sorry for the loses in Tennessee. Whenever tornadoes knock buildings down y'all get back up and rebuild

[@acescionti711]

I live here too I agree

[@josephhoward4697]

I just wish you guys had better warning. I was watching it live with GR2Analyst when it made its way through. I knew it was going to strike more than fifteen minutes ahead. It was horrible to watch, because I knew people were going to die without proper warning.

[@bradschuh4618]

Jennifer Bossert it’s now 23

[@bryantc2899]

25 now

[@LilJigglypuff999]

I appreciate you Reed. You definitely do an amazing job.

[@ericaferguson7169]

Thank you Reed for doing these briefings for us. It’s been quite awhile since I used the math associated with meteorological events, and I’ve become quite rusty over the years. It’s been 15 years since I last participated in a productive chase, due to developing Multiple Sclerosis. I’ve done some milder recon and storm spotter duties up in the Twin Cites over the past several years, but nothing substantial. Watching these briefings bring back a lot of memories.

[@dylancrowder915]

I live in Tennessee not even 8 minutes from Nashville. I can tell you personally it was crazy, and I have never seen this kind of damage. Reed I have watched you forever and I love your content. I have a video on this channel on the main damage in downtown Nashville. You can check it out if you want to but this was absolutely crazy.

[@MG-cu6ny]

Reed is starting to look like Chuck norris, I guess it was only a matter of time.

[@lesshrubb203]

Thanks for the analysis, Reed. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.

[@mattsnyder7814]

Good stuff Mr..T ......God bless the folks in Tennessee

[@alexaortiz4714]

I just moved to south west Kentucky two months ago. It got pretty bad here as well. No casualties though. Praying for the ppl that got caught in the tornado.

[@susanwahl6322]

I have relatives in Nashville. I hope that they are all okay. We haven’t been able to reach any of them.

[@coletteg.4548]

🌪 It got pretty crazy here in Tennessee last night . I don’t think anyone was expecting this .

[@mdstmouse7]

do you not pay attention to the weather?

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

@@mdstmouse7 At 2 in the morning?

[@mdstmouse7]

@@MalleusSemperVictor it was 12:40 and yes I watched it online. And I definitely would have been watching if i lived in Nashville.

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

@@mdstmouse7 I get that. As I understand it, it was hitting Camden and people should have been forewarned. I feel like there was a bit of failure in EAS and incident planning. I heard that there was initially a tornado warning that was retracted at first as well with no sirens activated at all during the entire incident.

[@F5Storm1]

@@MalleusSemperVictor sirens were activated

[@ItsLilRobs]

Why does reed do the majority of these on Facebook? I literally refuse to use Facebook it’s such a crappy platform

[@Tcrror]

You "literally" refuse? As opposed to figuratively or metaphorically?

[@aingle4239]

Guessing since it’s easier to reach people live on there for him

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

Not to mention a dead platform. I don't even know anyone who uses Boomerbook anymore besides 40 year old soccer moms.

[@ericaferguson7169]

Agreed. I boycotted Facebook a LONG time ago.

[@bryantc2899]

30 miles away from the ef3 killer, watching it on radar scope, pickle radar apps. Thought about chasing the storm last night, but decided, it was too dangerous to chase at night.

[@bethrn]

I'm a spotter in NW TN. I was up, but all we got up here in Dyer Co was pea sized hail. I stayed awake and watched Omega and RadarScope til morning, then saw the news start pouring in. So sad. My prayers are with all affected by these horrible storms.

[@mpk6664]

I love what you do, and how you explain things, Reed. Keep up the good work.

[@aubreymasseyjr.676]

Reed, NWS rated the one through Cookeville as an EF4. You planning on doing an analysis of that tornado that rolled through Cookeville here?

[@Scott.Farkus]

That same system moved across us here in Abingdon, VA early in the morning. I just happened to be up when it did. There was a lot of lightning and rolling thunder, and some wind. It looked like we were going to get hit at first, but it blew over pretty quick.

[@julymiller2308]

Thanks for this information, Twister Tim! 🙂 Keep up the good work!

[@BlueMolly2024]

As a weather geek, love these videos.

[@acescionti711]

I predicted an ef rating between 2 and 4 with a personal rating of ef3 because I saw footage of it on the news when it had a typical cone shape due to the fact that shape typically forms around the ef2-4 rating I did all this wile it was coming through cookeville last night I’m impressed with myself I used to watch you all the time when I was little on storm chaser,s guess I still remembered a lot thanks for the help reed

[@kristinnunez2702]

Great video and analysis of how all the factors came together. I'm really respecting these briefings; there's so much to learn from them. God bless those who have passed due to the storm, were injured in the storm. And God Bless that town.💜💜💜

[@ajdavis98775]

I want the old Reed back that use to get right up in the middle of Tornadoes. Last few years watching this KZbin platform has been kinda boring

[@noahkb80]

I hear what you mean, but I imagine hes probably had his fill of almost dying all the time. Hes earned his cushy office job. But yes, we always miss the great ones when their done with their run. He , fortunately, is still young. And has his health. He'll be back out again. BUT, not with that friggin stash! Bro, that sh*t needs to get ripped off by some debris

[@davidspangler4430]

Have u all seen his on foot intercept of the Mkcook tornado last year, dude bout went flying lol. He's chased every big day this winter, just nothing like this came up, and this wasn't anticipated or he'd been there

From what I could see from FB it look like a EF 4 that hit. Thoughts n prayers .

[@LeeGarrard]

excellent videos reed..wish you did youtube live..

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

This was YTL. It even says as much in the title

[@mstalcup]

The worst damage in Cookeville has been given a preliminary EF4 rating.

[@zelkuta]

Meteorologist Reed makes me feel dumb. I'm so caught up with classical setups that when I took a look at this I didn't seriously consider it. The is another recent examples of very strong feburary low cape tornadoes. You're right tim, and I don't think I was the only chaser dude that didn't take this setup seriously enough. We need to be keeping a sharper eye on low cape events.

[@bradleyhoskins1023]

Mike Morgan and David Payne said they had a tornado warning then cancelled it and it re-ramped quick no sirens no warning and people blew it off wen it went down to severe thunderstorm warning. But it came back quick. There was still a good hook on it wen it was downgraded and Mike and David, who i trust alot, said that they made a big mistake doing that.

[@spitefulraven]

Crazy. We've already had 4 tornadoes here in MD. I saw that one picture of the car in the apartment building, I think it was actually just perspective making it look like it had been picked up, it was actually parked in a driveway behind that building.

[@darylstreet5749]

Good job Dr. Timmer. You da man!

[@tkuenzli1]

What was the name of the app you mentioned?

[@jonstirling9169]

Hey Reed, big fan. That tornado missed me by a few blocks. It strengthened over Old Hickory Blvd in Hermitage. Must of dropped and lifted again to miss me. But then took out a neighborhood less than a mile away. I would love to know more how the cyclical events of a tornado produce damage. Thank man. :) it’s hilly here. Does that change the dynamic- I would imagine?

[@quantezcosby6432]

i near like so close to downtown Nashville i always wanted to see one and this one was close to my house it just missed it

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

I’ve tried to like Radar Omega. Wish they could get at least somewhat close to the radar return data of RadarScope Pro. It has promise but the returns are still a bit too cluttered for my liking. Not a horrific product overall, and their warnings and statements are better than most other radar platforms. Once they iron out their actual return data, I think it will overtake RS.

[@korloq8968]

This was a monster storm.

[@timothyconwell6834]

Reed i have probably watched every storm chase you have done does doing this stuff make you happy or does storm chasing just saying some people are meant 2 chase and you my friend are one of them I can just tell !!!! But either way I appreciate your videos! Your excitement chasing is second to none get back out there buddy!!!! DOMINATE UM!!!

[@sirenlover100]

My sister (who's in Nashville, she and her friends are fine) told me that her dorm only told those who were already awake to take shelter

[@jonahmiller3645]

I miss the old goofy reed where u helped me understand them and it was entertaining. RIP dominator1 dominator2 and dominator3

[@BluechewRudy]

It doesn’t make since all the news stations was say tornado was highly unlikely like 2% we had no warning it’s sad 25 people lost their lives. Please watch the live local news they under played the whole storm

[@MontyOfTennessee]

FYI the red car was was not thrown on top of the apartment building. It was an optical illusion.

[@negan2714]

The apartment building took shelter under the red car

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

Hate when that happens. I’ve already lost three cars for the exact same problem. Buildings kept trying to hide under them

[@mitchellchristie4753]

yes people have been torn from their homes in the wake of a deadly tornadoes

[@dan-falcone832]

Quick question Reed, why did you stop doing the show? I enjoyed your Chasing. Learned alot through watching it but I loved your show in the past. Just wondering @Reed Timmer

[@markmnorcal]

News station footage was good. It hit their studio during a live stream.

[@cherylsibson8457]

Reed, I don't know all the technical side, I'm not always smart or brilliant and I was so glad when you were working on trails on a machine to enter the tornado so I'm listening to Dr. Dr. Anthony Fauci talk about DNA about braking down the DNA and using strategies that help people with different diseases and ailments that provide relief from symptoms of an ailment and help aline them to using strategies to benefit their lives, that science requires money and time. The science that you do is doing the same thing, you are a scientist, not a weather reporter. So get the funding and figure it out. The funding is there when you ask for it, people have high regard for your work will pay for it. I stand by you.

[@robertstewart8224]

Reed, most of the people I’ve talked with this am say no sirens. RStewart

[@PopLightBrown]

The sirens were going off in Nashville/Davidson Co. Most folks were asleep.

[@Mrs_Gorl]

Sirens went off in Lebanon about 7-10 mins before hitting. Got woken up by the phone alert and then immediately sirens started.

[@F5Storm1]

Sirens were definitely going off, you shouldn't rely on just sirens

@Safety First I will take your word for it. I read an article on Google it said it was ef-2. Then I read another article that said it was rated ef-3. Maybe they have upgraded it since then.
