There are 6 injuries It started, apparently, in the north-central part of Davidson County about 8 miles north of Nashville, being first observed near and to the east of some hills that rise 200 to 300 feet higher than the surrounding country. It moved eastwardly across the Dickerson and Gallatin pikes, through the village of Edenwold, across the Cumberland River into the Powder Plant, and on into the southern part of Sumner County, where it spent its force. The length of the path was about 10 miles. Its width varied from 50 to 200 yards, being determined to some extent, no doubt, by the rolling character of the country. Fortunately, it passed mostly through open country and not much timber was destroyed. A few large trees were in the path, some being uprooted, others twisted into shreds, while still others were carried away entirely leaving only a portion of the trunk standing. The storm crossed the Dickerson Pike near Lowe's Store, about three miles south of Goodlettsville. Here one residence and five barns were damaged to the extent of about $2,500. A house a mile or so east of this pike was partly wrecked and a portion of the roof dropped into a yard near Edenwold, more than a mile away. From that point the destruction was of little consequence until it struck a large handsome residence a little east of the Gallatin Pike, tearing a gaping hole in the roof and wrenching off and carrying away a two-story veranda extending a distance of 125 feet along two sides of the house. The village of Edenwold, next in its path, suffered severely, several residences, two stores, and the schoolhouse being completely demolished and other buildings partly so. Six persons were injured at this point, one seriously, but, strange to say, no lives were lost. In one instance, there was nothing left of an eight-room cottage except the floor, and yet the occupants, a mother and two daughters, received only slight injuries. A man was buried beneath a pile of brick and debris as the roof of another house collapsed, but escaped with only cuts about the head. One house clearly showed the effect of the sudden expansion of the air within. The roof was entirely gone and two of the walls were flat on the ground, as if pushed outward, while the remaining walls were unharmed. The loss from the storm in the vicinity of Edenwold was probably not less than $35,000, at least half of which was suffered by the large mansion, mentioned above. The storm turned slightly outheastward from Edenwold and after crossing a mile or two of open country it devastated an area of the U. S. Government Powder Plant (Old Hickory), wrecking seven iron buildings, either partially or totally, the estimated loss being $25,000. Fortunately, the government stores, consisting of smokeless powder, were not damaged by water as they are contained in water-proof boxes. Had the storm taken a different course through the reservation the loss might have been tremendous, in as much as the buildings are compactly arranged and represent a total outlay of more than $50,000,000. After leaving the powder plant the storm crossed the river again and continued somewhat southeastward into Sumner County, where it is reported that any trees were uprooted.

The tornado touched down at 330 PM one mile west of Charlotte Pike and I-440. A tree fell on an ROTC student at Centennial Park. He was attending an ROTC picnic. He died later on May 4 from his injuries. The tornado went through downtown Nashville at 340 PM and on toward East Nashville, Donelson and Hermitage. The tornado blew out many windows on office buildings. The Nations Bank Office Towers were one of the hardest hit buildings in Nashville. Tennessee Performance Arts Center (TPAC) and the Tennessee Towers sustained damage. TPAC had over 100 windows blown out. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts from the Tennessee Towers and was off the air for about 24 hours. 30 private airplanes were damaged at Cornelia Fort Airport. Estimated damage to the airplanes was 3 million dollars. 35 buildings in downtown Nashville were "red tagged", meaning these buildings were structurally unsound. Many signs in Davidson county were blown down or severely damaged. The tornado blew down 3 out of 10 construction cranes on the construction site of the Tennessee Oiler's Football Stadium near the Cumberland River. The tornado continued east and hit the residential section of East Nashville. At least 300 homes National Weather Service Forecast Office; Nashville, TN; were damaged in East Nashville. Many homes lost a good part of their roofs, trees were uprooted, telephone poles Tornado Database were knocked down. St. Ann's Episcopal Church, which is well over 100 years old, received major damage. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ohx/tornado/davidson.htm Uprooted trees, damaged roofs to many homes was the story across Donelson and Hermitage. Numerous windows were blown out from the Gaylord Building in Donelson. About half the trees, that is over a thousand trees, were blown down at Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage. The Hermitage is a 600 acre estate of the former President. Some of those trees were well over 200 years old, and a few of those trees that were destroyed were planted by Andrew Jackson himself. Mayor Phil Bredesen closed downtown Nashville of Friday, April 17. Many workers had an unscheduled holiday. The downtown area was reopened Monday, April 20. This gave time for cleanup crews to remove broken glass and repair downed power lines. Nashville Electric Service said 75,000 customers were without power. 37 Nashville Metro Airport 16-Apr-98 3:20 PM Tornado F2 0 0 28 50K 0 Trees were blown down. There was some damage to homes from fallen trees. This tornado was not as strong as the first. It started between downtown and Nashville International Airport and continued into Wilson county.
