It has been two years since tornadoes touched down in Middle Tennessee on March 3, 2020. The tornadoes killed 25 people, destroyed more than 1,600 buildings — including more than 400 homes — and damaged some 2,700 others stretching from Benton County, through downtown and East Nashville, and into Cookeville.
This episode examines what has changed since the deadly storms. Host Khalil Ekulona speaks to residents who were displaced by the storms about how their lives were changed that night.
Later in the show, the conversation shifts to the steps you can take to stay safe during Nashville's next major weather event.
