Overview

One week after Hurricane Harvey made landfall along the middle Texas coast, a weakened but still intense Tropical Depression Harvey moved across Middle Tennessee from Thursday August 31, 2017 into Friday September 1, 2017. Strong winds up to 50 mph associated with the circulation of Harvey brought down numerous trees and power lines, knocking out power to thousands of residents. In addition, supercells rotating around Harvey spawned four tornadoes across Middle Tennessee, and heavy rainbands produced 8-10" of rain in some areas, leading to major flash flooding in parts of northern Middle Tennessee.
