Storm that surged through Middle Tennessee included winds that exceeded 50 mph

The National Weather Service received scattered reports of isolated storm damage from Friday storms in Middle Tennessee with Perry County's Lobelville area hit especially hard.

A Perry County dispatcher also confirmed multiple reports of homes with roof damage and a barn blown away along with trees and power lines down in Lobelville and the surrounding area. No injuries were immediately reported.

There were individual trees, limbs and wires down in Nashville, and Davidson County also reported to the weather service and emergency dispatch personnel that a tree fell across multiple vehicles in Antioch.

A light pole at Smyrna High School fell and damaged automobiles, according to the weather service, and there were also reports in the Dickson area of damage to a business.

Wind from the storms that came through Middle Tennessee late Friday were regularly 30-40 miles per hour, according to the weather service. Measured wind gusts included 57 mph in Brentwood, 52 mph at Nashville International Airport and 51 mph at the Dickson airport.

Nashville Electric Service reported more than 5,000 customers without power late Friday as the storms rolled through. There were just under 600 NES customers without power early Saturday afternoon.

Middle Tennessee Electric reported fewer than 100 customers without power as of Saturday morning.

The weather service believes straight-line winds were the cause of damage in Middle Tennessee, meteorologist Sam Herron said. Crews could go out to the Lobelville area if new information warrants, but damage there also is believed to be from straight-line winds, Herron said.
