Storm Damage Reports across Tennessee

**STRONG STORMS AGAIN**
Looks like the severe storm chances will be from Cookeville eastward today. Many reports of storm damage across Middle Tennessee yesterday. Storm reports list here

**TURN UP THE HEAT**
Expect temperatures for Thursday and Friday to be in the lower to mid 90's here in Cookevill and even hotter to our west.  Nashville will hit 96° while other cities to their southwest will be even hotter. I would not be surprised to see a few places in southern Middle TN to approach 100°. We'll cool down to the upper 80's for the weekend.

On this day in 2001, a weak tornado touches down in Newry, Maine exactly where another tornado hit a year earlier.

On this day in 2000, lightning strikes a home in Shop Springs, TN. The ensuing fire destroys a workshop and part of the home.
