NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The storm overnight brought in a lot of reports of damage from Fairview, to parts of Humphreys County.

A tree fell onto a home on Circle Drive overnight in Springfield, causing significant damage to both the house and nearby vehicles.

The good news is there are no injuries reported.

Springfield Electric said they will assess later in the morning when they can get some daylight to see how serious the damage is.
