Today In The Upper Cumberland: 1974 Tornado

Revisit one of the worst tornado outbreaks in U.S. history from April 3, 1974.

It’s been two months since an EF4 tornado ripped across Putnam County. County leaders called it the worst natural disaster the county had suffered. Prior to this winter, that dubious honor belonged to the tornadoes of April 3, 1974. An EF4 tornado rolled across Putnam, Overton, and White Counties. It was part of one of the worst tornado outbreaks to ever effect the United States. Dubbed “The Super Outbreak,” at least 148 tornadoes struck 13 states, all the way from the Gulf Coast, to the Great Lakes. 330 died April 3rd and 4th, 1974. Marty Smith was serving Putnam County in emergency management as that storm rolled through in 1974.

Today In The Upper Cumberland: COVID Medicine

This week improve your knowledge of COVID-19 with Dr. Brent Staton & Dr. Ty Webb

The next phase of our fight against COVID-19 is set to begin. A gradual reopening of the Tennessee economy – Monday with restaurants, Wednesday with retail establishments. Governor Bill Lee emphasized Friday the economic benefits of reopening the economy, but he quickly pointed out if Tennesseans don’t continue to learn and focus about COVID-19, and practice the things that we know that will work, we’ll find ourselves right in the middle of more economic hardship. So lets focus on the learning as we bring aboard Dr. Brent Staton and Dr. Ty Webb with the Cumberland Center for Healthcare Innovation.
