How many warnings did National Weather Service issue in Tennessee for April storms? Over 140
Tennessee had more than 140 weather warnings issued from 7 a.m. Wednesday through the overnight hours to about 10 a.m. Thursday as rain, wind and hail pummeled the state.
There were 53 tornado warnings issued throughout all of Tennessee, according to Iowa State University's Iowa Environmental Mesonet, which tracks weather warnings. There were 20 flash flood warnings and 70 severe thunderstorm warnings, according to the data.
Several outdoor tornado siren site batteries were drained in Nashville because of extended use as power outages prevented them from recharging immediately, according to the Nashville Office of Emergency Management.
Tennessee severe weather: Tornado watch issued as flooding concerns remain in Nashville
"That's a rare event to have that many storms like that all (wanting) to put tornadoes down and the biggest challenge is staying on top of them, and I think we did a pretty good at that," said Jacob Bruss, a meteorologist at the Memphis office.
More rain and storms are expected into the weekend as flooding will become a chief concern, according Nashville National Weather Service meteorologist Faith Borden. The weather service is still "dealing with active flooding," and didn't expect the Nashville office to send personnel out until Monday to evaluate tornado touchdowns. Borden said.
Some areas could still see 6-8 more inches of rain through the end of the week, Borden said.

2025 hurricane season begins — why you should prepare for expected ‘above average' season
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — The forecast is still quiet for now, but hurricane season is just getting started. Sunday marks the first day of the 2025 hurricane season, and from now through the end of November, everyone will be keeping a close eye on the tropics. MPD: Two people shot at Saenger Theatre in downtown Mobile 'A hurricane can change everything,' Phillip Wilson, with Paris Ace Hardware in Foley, said. 'After Sally, you know, my house was without power for two weeks.' At his store, the shelves are already stocked with all the essentials. 'It means we're having to be prepared to anticipate things that you might not normally think of throughout the rest of the year. It means having batteries. It means having other supplies on hand,' Wilson said. This year, experts are calling for an . That has people double-checking their hurricane kits to ensure they have everything they need in case of an emergency. UPDATE: 75-year-old man shot, killed by Mobile police after pointing gun at officers 'We'll stock up on water and maybe some batteries and whatnot,' Al Mullins, a Baldwin County resident, said. 'We'll get the hurricane lanterns and all that stuff, and we have a generator.' Once a storm is in the Gulf, stores can sell out of certain items fast. That's why it's important to stock up now. 'What people don't anticipate is how scarce supplies come. We can sell out of chainsaws in a day, and we may not be able to get any in,' Wilson said. 'We try to anticipate, we try to stock extra amounts, but you don't know if you'll even be able to drive down the street.' 'The closer the storms get, the less the big box stores are going to have supplies,' Mullins added. 'The plywood is going to disappear, the water is going to disappear. 'You don't want to wait till the last minute because you never know when you have to run.' UPDATE: Mobile Police says crashed cruiser was responding to gunshots call When it comes to hurricanes, being ready early can make all the difference. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Farmers stunned as mystery disease devastates staple crop in key region: 'The rice inside is not there'
Rice crops in India are being affected by an unknown disease, placing a strain on farmers who rely on these crops for their livelihoods. According to The Shillong Times, "paddy fields across the plain belt region of Meghalaya" are losing 20-80% of their rice crops due to this mysterious disease. Rajabala MLA Mizanur Rahman Kazi said, "The paddy crops look fine and normal from the outside, but the rice inside is not there." According to Iowa State University, plants need three things to get a disease. First, the plant needs to be able to catch the disease. Second, the pathogen must already be present. Third, it requires favorable weather conditions for the disease to develop. GeoPard Agriculture said some of those conditions are "low or high temperature and excess or lack of moisture." Down to Earth reported that India's earliest heat wave was recorded in March 2025. Krishi Jagran also reported Meghalaya was forecasted to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall at the end of April. While weather events were already going to occur, rising temperatures intensify them. According to a blog post by Journalist and Tech investor Molly Wood, rising temperatures are like steroids for the weather. The rice crop failure is "raising serious concerns over food security and economic stability in one of the state's most agriculturally productive areas," per The Shillong Times. Kazi said the extent of the damage won't be clear until a formal survey is conducted. Kazi contacted the sub-divisional officer of Dadenggre to get in touch with the Agriculture Department so an official investigation could occur to determine the cause. He also wrote a letter to the agriculture minister, Ampareen Lyngdoh, hoping for swift action. What is the biggest reason you don't grow food at home? Not enough time Not enough space It seems too hard I have a garden already Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Since rising temperatures are caused by reliance on dirty energy, humans must transition to non-polluting energy sources, such as solar power. By installing solar panels, you can also become more resilient during extreme weather events. For instance, you won't have to rely on the grid to power your home in a power outage. EnergySage offers a free tool to help you find the best deal on installation, which can even help you save up to $10,000 on installation costs. Solar power can save you money, too. It can get your energy bill down to almost zero. While the Indian farmers don't know what's happening with their crops, it's vital to explore critical climate issues to understand how to combat them.
