@NWSNashville @NashSevereWx what’s going on with the ballon launches from OHX?

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@CalebAJohnson @NashSevereWx Scuffed up a little but no big deal! Thanks.

@NashSevereWx big hailstone in Franklin! #tSpotter

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@CalebAJohnson @NashSevereWx It absolutely was! Didn’t get a picture but got this video from inside the house. Sounded crazy!

@NashSevereWx @NWSNashville Why does it look like we missed the 1200 UTC ballon launch?

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@NashSevereWx Just slid a good bit through north Franklin/south Brentwood. Go maybe 8-10 mph slower than usual + room to stop and you’ll be alright. Also scrape your windows.

@NashSevereWx bunch of limbs and some power lines down. West Main Street Franklin.

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@BennoGriffiths @NashSevereWx Hahaha. I sure did…

[NWS Nashville @NWSNashville]

A @NWSNashville storm survey along with radar data & #tspotter reports has determined a brief, weak EF-0 #tornado touched down in Franklin (Williamson County) on Saturday, August 12 at 11:45 AM CDT #tnwx

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@NWSNashville some better/clearer maps would be appreciated. i know i wasn’t the only one who noticed a weak velocity couplet/echo associated with this storm. it was evident many frames before this tornado occurred. i understand it was weak, not sure if a warning was considered or not but…

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@ftnweatherman @NashSevereWx @NWSNashville i swore i saw a weak couplet on radar moving along new hwy 96!

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@CityOfFranklin notice how no one is replying to this tweet with “aw man how cool is that!” we’re sad. everyone who knew this time is heartbroken by this.

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@CityOfFranklin i can literally see our house. and PGS where we went to school.

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]

@CityOfFranklin i lived in founders point when this picture was taken. so sad.

@NashSevereWx beautiful stacked plates pushing into franklin! #tSpotter

[Ben Grizzell @BenjaminGrizz]
