03/03/2020 12:09 pm EST
East Nashville
Footage from East Nashville showed an entire tree ripped up by its roots, which fell on a parked car. Reporters noted that the damage was getting easier to see as storm conditions faded and daylight resumed.
Germantown
The residents of Germantown were faced with winds strong enough to turn over a box truck, and to take down a utility pole near the base. In the background is a tree apparently stripped of bark by the force of the storm.
Germantown Pt. 2
Another angle on the damage in Germantown shows the refuse scattered all over the streets after the tornado passed through. Thankfully, it looks like the power lines did not land on any homes or property, but the broken pieces of wood and metal cause another public safety hazard.
N. Mt Juliet Road
A video clip from Mount Juliet shows extensive damage to an office complex, West Wilson Middle School and Mt Juliet Christian Academy. Homes in the area were also hit hard.
Five Points
A street in Five Points became completely impassable after the storm, with broken boards filling the road and downed power lines tangling overhead. Cars in the area were apparently trapped within the wreckage.
Donelson
Heartbreaking footage from Donelson shows the damage targeting more residential areas, with pieces of homes and personal belongings scattered everywhere. Several houses had their roofs ripped off, making them uninhabitable for the time being.
Main Street
Finally, a 36-degree view of Main Street in East Nashville reveals the extent of the damage, with at least one store completely leveled. However, it is one of the most hopeful looks at the area so far, as it shows crews already working to restore power and rebuild.
