CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tuesday's storms left a trail of damage across Middle Tennessee, but some Clarksville residents started coming together to begin the cleanup process.

Trees littered the streets, including East Regent Drive. Henry Washburn lives in the area and captured a video of a tree falling on his mailbox.

"I got home, let the dogs out on the back porch, looked out the back porch, and as I looked over my shoulder I seen it coming," Washburn said. "And all of a sudden, all at once, these trees went crazy. I rushed downstairs with the dogs and I still had to film the rest of it. Then snap, crackle, pop — all the trees were down and it was over with."

Neighbors gathered at Washburn's to help him pick up the felled tree limbs, but that wasn't the only place Montgomery County residents gathered. After the skies cleared, some went to help a woman in her 80s clear debris out of her backyard. That woman told News 2 that a shed in her backyard was completely covered by tree limbs.

"The tree's broken," Clarksville resident Wren Corgan told News 2.

"We got a little bit of roof damage and trees down in the back — maybe a broken window or two, but nobody [was] hurt," Ryan Corgan added. "Everybody [was] good and well, that's what insurance is for."

Overall, residents were glad to see that everyone was safe and sound after the severe weather. The National Weather Service has tentatively planned to assess damages in Clarksville and Montgomery County and hope to release any reports by Friday.
