NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

Strong storms swept through the Mid-State late Sunday night into the early morning hours on Monday.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Tennessee between Midnight and 1 a.m. on Monday that lasted until just before 3 a.m.

Five tornado warnings were in effect just before midnight for Western counties.

Davidson County received a tornado warning at 12:53 a.m.

Strong winds caused tree limbs to fall in roadways and knocked down power lines leaving several neighborhoods without power across the mid-State.

The Nashville Electric Service power outage map remained close to a steady 1,800 customers without power. At one point close to 3,000 residents were without power during the morning storms.

Fallen limbs and trees were reported throughout Davidson, Sumner, Perry and Dekalb counties.

Winds caused minor structural damage in many eastern counties.

A home in Clarksville suffered minor damage from a fallen carport around 12:30 a.m.

"[We] looked out and here come tin across the front yard, around the corner of the house," homeowner Noble Brooks said, adding, "[It] doesn't do any good to get mad or upset about it. When [my insurance company] contacts me, I can start tearing it down and get another one put up.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

News 2 Meteorologist Justin Bruce reported temperature's to be in the upper 50s on Monday with dry conditions.

More showers and thunderstorms are expected mid-week.
