Strong storms moved through Middle Tennessee on Monday afternoon, knocking down trees and power lines. The National Weather Service will be sending out a survey team to assess damage in Lewis and Perry counties on Tuesday. The storms were a triple threat - bringing downpours, lightning and winds in excess of 60 mph. Winds snapped a tree from its roots on Hobbs Road in Green Hills, landing on a moving vehicle. It was a close call for the driver, who was not injured. Lightning struck a home on Nevada Avenue, sparking a fire. Several people were inside at the time. They are all OK, but they said they lost a pet. A tree fell down on Fairmont Drive near West End Avenue and 31st Avenue, crushing two vehicles.
