Nice and quiet today, just the way we like it. Not so on this date in 1970: an F4 tornado moves across Montgomery, Robertson, and Sumner Counties. The storm begins 8 miles south of Clarksville, passes 2 miles south of Springfield, south of Fountainhead, and ends near Bethpage. Many homes and farm buildings are leveled between Springfield and Greenbrier. Another home is leveled near the end of the 42 mile path. Damage is estimated at $1.5 million. The tornado path is 400 yards wide. There are 3 fatalities, and 85 injuries. Courtesy of the Nashville National Weather Service.
