  • Between April 15th and 16th, 1998, 13 tornadoes raged through Middle Tennessee, two of them touching down in Nashville. One of those hit The Hermitage, the former home of Andrew Jackson, nearly taking out the nearly 200-year old mansion he used to live in.

      That was a CRAZY day!!! I was in after school at Jones magnet in North Nashville (on Buchanan Street). We learned they issued a tornado warning while we were doing a tornado drill. Now, during the April 1995 tornado, I was a kindergartner at Cora Howe, and remember very well that they issued a warning that day, and nothing happened other than some really dark skies and heavy rain. So naturally I thought we'd be fine. Boy was I wrong! About 10 minutes later, while it was pouring, the lights started flickering, and then the power went out. Finally the storm passed, what felt like an eternity later. Then my dad picked me up. While we were crossing the Jefferson Street bridge, another warning was issued, and while no tornado touched down from that storm in the same area where the first one hit, being stuck on the bridge for 20 minutes was terrifying. I lived on Petway in east Nashville at that point, and we got home to no power, but no damage other than a few shingles missing. But just 3-4 blocks south of our place, on Eastland, past Stratton all the way to Ordway, tornado damage was everywhere, notably narrowly sparing the house of then-future mayor Bill Purcell. 0/10, hated that day

    Another neat bit of trivia about this event is that the guitar company Gibson made guitars out of the wood from the destroyed trees, and themed them around Andrew Jackson.

      @@aouyiu History is history. He was a slave owner too. No one decent will argue that the trail of tears or the enslavement of a Africans was right. I think it's important to learn about history. In many cases so that shit doesn't happen again. Because it definitely can. I'm mostly white and look it but I'm 10% central African and 20% native American. They might have held questionable ideals but they built this nation that I fought for. It ain't perfect but it ain't north Korea. More people need to be aware of genocide against Natives Jackson championed and ultimately authorized.
