Best Use of Twitter

Daniel Meigs

Walking through the wrecked neighborhoods of Nashville in the wake of the Super Tuesday tornado, something interesting came up again and again — thanks for a Twitter account. @NashSevereWx has long been an area (and Scene) favorite due to their quality coverage of the weather goings-on in Davidson and Williamson counties. But we heard from a number of people who said the Tweeterologists’ warnings about the tornado may have indeed saved their lives. The three guys behind the account — Dave Drobny, Will Minkoff and Andrew Leeper — typically hate it when you tell them stuff like this. They’re pretty humble and are just trying to share their love of weather and help people out, not seek attention. That only makes us love them more. STEVE CAVENDISH
