Default What I heard

This site shows you all the tornadoes that have hit Tn county by county, not many in Knox and none since 1995. Hope it helps,

Tennessee Tornadoes

Roxy33, I don't think you will ever have to worry about the kind of catastrophic storms you have experienced in Florida hitting you in Knoxville.

Check out the website that gailli put up for you and as SmokyMtnGal suggested, there have been many threads and posts on the forum about this scary topic. Here is just one of the threads on severe storms in E. TN.

moving to east tn cookeville or knoxville?

Default Tornadoes in Knoxville

Dear Roxy: We used to live in Memphis, and it seemed as tho tornadoes tore through Arkansas and showed up on our doorstep about every other week in the spring. We have lived here for 4 years, and have had less bad weather in these 4 years than 1 year in Memphis. I'm not trying to slam Memphis, we had lots of friends and enjoyed our time there, but the weather was defintely worse when it came to storms. Check out the websites mentioned above, and then come and enjoy east TN!

There have been two tornadoes observed in Knox County since 1993. An F1 tornado occurred in Fountain City in 1995 and an F0 in Powell in 2000. There have been only 2 tornado related fatalities in Knox County since 1953.
