Today has to be better.
Yesterday, Nashville was hit by tornadoes that caused the worst storm damage here in at least 30 years. After suffering through wave after wave of explosive weather, Middle Tennessee will awaken today to inspect damage in a wide band that has been declared a disaster area by Gov. Don Sundquist. Across the state, seven people died in storm-related incidents, including two in a traffic wreck in Davidson County. For the first time in recent memory, Nashville city officials asked downtown workers to stay home today for safety reasons. Falling debris from office towers and downed power lines could pose threats.
