We here in Clarksville were incredibly lucky during the heavy thunderstorms earlier this week.  Our neighbors to the south in Nashville were not as lucky.  The storm that woke us with heavy winds and loud storms brought Tornadoes to the Music City.  Buildings and homes were destroyed, and lives were lost.

Lots of us our wondering what we can do to help our neighbors and there are some things you can do right now to help. From our friends at Channel 2, here are some things you can do to help.
