In the first of a three part arch about the 1998 Nashville tornadoes, we meet Tom Colletta and Kevin Longinotti — men who were pinned by two of the 20,000 trees stripped, uprooted or blown over on April 16, 1998. We also talk about the time I — a 15-year-old juvenile delinquent from Maine — got Kevin Smith to donate to the recovery efforts.
If you have stories to share about the tornado, or any TN natural disaster for that matter, please leave a voicemail with your story at (615) 348-8165. What are you seeing? What gives you hope? Let us know your experience.

Rabid Dogs, Spanish Flu and Acid Atta...
I was going to do an episode about Spanish Flu in Nashville—I very well might at some other time—but instead I decided to look at what life was like in the city, and the country at large, in 1918. The two big stories of that year, in retrospect at least, is the end of what we now know at the Firs...
