We’ve had a very active weather event today in the Middle Tennessee area. Using the traffic widget we happened to watch the Murfreesboro tornado pass over I-24 in real time. We hope everyone is safe this afternoon.

Update: Just wanted to add this clip from WKRN as the tornado passed over I-24. It’s a devastating situation down there. Pay attention to the local news if you have to be down there or are looking for ways to help.

The Tennessee Traffic Camera Widget has been updated to version 1.2 adding 20 new cameras to the Nashville area. Here is a list of the new camera locations:

• I-24 @ Bell Road
• I-24 East of Briley Parkway (South)
• I-24 @ Briley Parkway East
• I-40 @ 46th Avenue
• I-40 @ 28th Avenue
• I-40 @ Briley Parkway
• I-65 South of Armory Drive
• I-65 @ Armory Drive
• I-65 @ Craighead
• I-65 North of Wedgewood
• I-440 East of I-40 Junction
• I-440 @ Murphy Road
• I-440 East of West End
• I-440 West of 21st Avenue
• I-440 @ 21st Avenue
• I-440 @ Belmont Overpass
• I-440 West of I-65 Junction
• I-440 East of I-65 Junction
• I-440 @ Nolensville Road
• I-440 West of I-24

With the President in town today, it looks like TDOT has turned off the traffic camera system in Nashville. Just in case any of you widget users were curious about the ‘unavailable’ images popping up.

Version 1.1 was released today adding the cities of Chattanooga and Franklin. The Nashville camera list was updated as TDOT had changed the URLs to the Nashville images.

Just wanted to announce the availability of the Tennessee Traffic Cameras widget for all you OS X users living and dealing with Tennessee traffic.

TDOT makes available many traffic cameras on their website, but it’s less than easy to try and navigate their system. Hopefully this widget will provide an easy way to view cameras in your city, all in one simple interface.

Also a big thanks to Jimmy’s l337 JavaScript skills which saved me from hours and hours of suffering.

You can download the widget from the Tennessee Traffic Cameras website.
