Well, thanks to the wind, a tree fell on my wife’s car that we’ve had almost a year come Monday. Thankfully she and my son had gotten out of the car and were in the house. When she called and told me, I was expecting the car to be totaled. Just some damage to the door, roof, and hood.

Analysis of the winds from this last event. It's wild that we even had a gust to 64 mph at the airport in Knoxville that wasn't even related to a thunderstorm.

MRX Discussion:

As of 3PM ET temperatures were warming into the low to mid 70`s
underneath partly cloudy skies. Radar shows a line of showers and
a few thunderstorms developing across middle Tennessee associated
with an approaching front. SW low level flow continues to advect
a moist and increasingly unstable airmass northward this afternoon
with RAP analyzing MLCAPE`s between 500-1000j/kg across the
central/southern valley and plateau areas. The front will continue
to progress east this afternoon with moisture advection
continuing. Expect a gradual increase in storm coverage and
intensity over the next couple of hours as this current activity
moves into a more favorable airmass situated across east
Tennessee. Shear will be more than adequate for updraft
organization as deep layer shear increases to 40-50 knots (higher
north of I-40). Shear vectors oriented just off the boundary will
promote at least some discrete convection and line/bowing segments
into the evening. While damaging winds will continue to be the
main hazard, the threat of tornadoes certainly shouldn`t be
ignored. Shear within the lowest 1km between 15-25 knots along
with favorable LCL heights will maintain the tornado risk through
the evening, especially south of I-40 where better instability
will be located. Additionally, any rotating updrafts will contain
a risk of large hail.
