March 3rd, 2020, a supercell makes its way across Kentucky and sets its sight on Tennessee. Not long after 10 pm, an EF1 tornado touches down in Gibson County in West Tennessee. This is just the beginning of a night of terror. At 12:30 pm, an EF3 hits Nashville, carving a path of destruction as it heads east. In the end, Cookeville Tennessee is hit the hardest, when the same supercell spawns an EF4 tornado around 1:50 am and lays waste to residential Cookeville taking 19 lives, 5 under the age of 18. That night 10 tornados ranging from EF0 to EF4 touched down in Tennessee, leaving approximately 1.6 billion dollars in damage and taking 25 lives.
