Episode description

It has been two years since tornadoes touched down in Middle Tennessee on March 3, 2020. The tornadoes killed 25 people, 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.

This episode examines what has changed since the deadly storms. Host Khalil Ekulona speaks to residents who were displaced by the storms about how their lives were changed that night.

Later in the show, the conversation shifts to the steps you can take to stay safe during Nashville's next major weather event.

Guests: 

  • WPLN Special Projects Editor Tony Gonzalez

  • Tamara Williams, a Cookville resident who is rebuilding her family's home after the storm

  • Terry Warren, a Nashville resident who was displaced by the storm

  • Krissy Hurley, warning coordination meteorologist with National Weather Service in Nashville

  • Andrew Leeper of Nashville Severe Weather

  • Lelan Statom, NewsChannel 5's senior meteorologist
