WEATHER CLAIMS TWO LIVES:
Here in Tennessee, one man was killed in a tornado to our south in Franklin County and another man was killed on Interstate 24 near Murfreesboro when he lost control of his box truck slamming into a tractor-trailer. The rain, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, was a factor in that accident.
YESTERDAY'S RAINS:
Today, we'll see highs in the upper 50's in the Cookeville area and vicinity. We have another big shot at heavy rains coming up this weekend, but we'll get to that later. Speaking of rains, we recorded 2.16" yesterday. That gave us 6.44 inches for the month of February, which is 37% above the normal of 4.70" for this month.
