| Sometime Between 4:00-4:30 AM this morning, a Tornado Hit the Downtown Clarksville Area. Preliminary damage estimates are in the multimillion dollar range. According to emergency services workers, there were no deaths, and only one minor injury. While no one except emergency workers are allowed in the blast area, a local firefighter described the downtown area as "wiped out". | Apologies to channel 4.... |
Further Information on the damage can be found at:
This is possibly worse news than many suspect (bad as it is). The Workers of Trane are on strike, for reasons everyone not directly involved see as silly; apparently the tornado took the roof off of plant 3 and scattered air conditioning units everywhere.
Is it going to be worth Trane's while to rebuild? The workers (who are the highest paid workers in the area) on strike, apparently just because they can....major structure damage...and lots of plants elsewhere they can pack up and move to.
It looks kinda grim to me.
