Looking back at the 2020 tornadoes, and tips to stay safe in the next big storm

On March 3, 2020, tornadoes killed 25 people in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. They destroyed more than 1,600 buildings — including more than 400 homes — and damaged some 2,700 others stretching from Benton County, through downtown and East Nashville, and into Cookeville. In this episode, we get some historical context for the tornado outbreak and find out if we’re likely to have more tornadoes this year. We also talk to two residents who were displaced by the 2020 storms about how their lives were changed that night and the difficulty of rebuilding in one case, and relocating in the other. Then, we’re joined by a panel of experts, who do some tornado myth-busting and go over the steps you can take to stay safe during Nashville’s next major weather event.
