Severe Weather Outlook for TONIGHT ⚠️

Confidence continues to increase in at least some portions of Middle TN seeing strong to severe thunderstorms overnight tonight. Damaging straight line winds are the main threat but large hail and a tornado can't be ruled out.

OEM crews deployed 2 boats to aid with searches of the riverbank area. Addition of sonar equipment was requested with this launch & crews will work a path set in coordination with Metro Nashville PD as they continue to investigate the whereabouts of the missing 22 year old student.

Our OEM personnel worked hard to launch our Public Safety Drone program. Take a look at Mye Owens exclusive first look. #OEMProud

Don’t underestimate the power of water ⚠️

It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock over and carry away an adult, and 12 inches to carry away a small car.
