A confirmed tornado tore through the Ridgetop/Ivy Point area of Goodlettsville overnight, ripping the roof off a barn and snapping trees and light poles, according to neighbors and response crews. Residents said they heard a roaring, train-like sound around 2:30 a.m. as they rushed to shelter. By sunrise, neighbors were out with chainsaws and tarps, clearing yards and securing damaged properties. Officials reported no injuries as emergency and utility crews moved in to reopen blocked driveways and roads.
Radar confirmation and storm tracking
According to the FOX 17 Code Red Weather team, meteorologists spotted a debris signature and clear rotation on radar just after 2:30 a.m. That prompted the National Weather Service to upgrade an existing tornado warning to a confirmed tornado warning for the area. FOX 17 shared images from the damage path, including a barn stripped of its roof and a twisted light pole left leaning at an awkward angle.
