"Nashville Tornado: Explosion, Victims, Cleanup, and Insurance Claims"

Multiple tornadoes swept through the Tennessee Valley, resulting in at least six deaths and 23 injuries. One tornado in Hendersonville, near Nashville, caused an explosion at a power station, creating a fireball. The explosion momentarily disrupted the tornado's visibility, but did not significantly affect its overall structure. The idea of intentionally bombing a tornado to weaken it has been deemed impractical and potentially more destructive than the tornado itself by the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
