A 5-10 mile wide swath of severe downburst winds struck western Montgomery County, including the northwest half of Clarksville. Dozens of power lines and power poles were blown down and thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted, with some falling on homes. Two houses and five mobile homes were reportedly destroyed, mainly by falling trees. Other homes and businesses received minor structural damage from the high winds, especially in northwest Clarksville, such as the grandstands at the Clarksville Speedway on Needmore Road which were toppled over, and the Clarksville Outlaw Field airport which had one hangar destroyed and a few planes damaged. A nursing home in Palmyra also suffered roof damage. Power outages lasted up to 2 weeks, with most Montgomery County schools closed during this 2 week period. Damage estimates from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency across Montgomery County reached $4.09 million. Winds were estimated up to 90 mph.
