After a tense night in the dark we found out that the tornado went right down Main Street and did tons of damage. It was classified as EF2 with winds between 120 and 125 mph. At our house, just a short ways away, we barely got any wind and not much rain so to see the extent of the damage was shocking. It completely wiped out a major power substation in Hendersonville, you can see the explosion in several videos like:
They are saying it will be up to five more days before we get power back and tonight temperatures are supposed to plunge. We could get by with our fireplace, but for safeties sake we found a hotel that takes pets and the five of us are going to stay there until things get back online. The five being myself, Mari, Dad, Maddie and Gigi.
This is us on the road. You can see a demolished building on the left that used to be a party supply store. Traffic is backed up for miles because almost every road is closed so there's only one way out of town, and that's towards Gallatin. Our hotel is in Goodlettsville but we'll have to head down to Gallatin, then take the freeway back.
