TREE DOWN 10:50 PM We have another tree down across the road in the 3400 block of Possum Trot Rd. Reportedly, a fairly large tree is blocking half the road.

ARCING POWERLINES
Up near Riley’s Country Charm Market at Highway 431 and Lakeview Road, officials are responding to reports of arching powerlines. Those who live in the area may be experiencing power interruptions.

TREE DOWN ORLINDA

We have another report of a tree down over the road somewhere on S Lamont Rd in Orlinda. If you are out this evening, drive with care.

POWER OUTAGES 7:50 pm

We have about 1200 people in Robertson County who are currently experiencing power interruptions due to the weather. It’s unlikely the interruptions will last for any significant period of time. Crews are hard at work restoring power to those affected.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY TREES DOWN REPORT 7:50 pm

We have two separate reports of trees down in Robertson County affecting traffic flow. One at Blackwood Rd and Wilkes and another at Jernigan Road at Archer Rd. If you’re out and about, drive with CAUTION -it’s a little gusty out there.

Weather Safety Announcement from EMS & EMA

Robertson County EMS Director Brent Dyer is pushing out a special Public Safety Announcement ahead of today’s weather.

We urge everyone to take precautions for tornado safety. If tornado warnings get issued, please remember to seek shelter in a sturdy building, preferably a basement or an interior room without windows. Stay informed by listening to weather alerts and have an emergency kit ready with essentials like water, food, and a flashlight.

The Robertson County Emergency Management Agency has been in contact with TEMA and the NWS to closely monitor developing storms.

Robertson County EMS has staffed additional personnel with two reserve ambulances for the brief operational period when the severe weather is most likely to impact Northern Middle TN.

Please refrain from entering the affected area in the event of a touchdown. During December’s tornado damage, first responders encountered challenges in maneuvering equipment due to sightseers. For your safety and to facilitate emergency operations, we urge you to avoid impacted areas. Stay informed through reliable online news sources such as Smokey Barn News for the latest updates. Sincerely, Robertson County EMA Director Chance Holmes
