NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Storm 5 Alert has been issued for this Friday because of the chance for damaging winds and the possibility of a quick, spin-up tornado.
The alert will go from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m.
The details include a wet and windy system with sustained wind speeds between 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 45 mph through the daytime hours. This may impact travel throughout the day and bring some trees down. East-to-west travel will be the most impacted because the wind will be out of the south.
A line of storms embedded within the gusty wind will bring the greatest threat for severe wind gusts. It will move through between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
