Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 2:09 PM CDT, 2 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 209 PM CDT MON JUN 8 2015 .DISCUSSION...STORMS ARE MOVING INTO AND ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE IN MULTIPLE WAVES THIS AFTERNOON, WITH THE ENTIRE MID STATE ALREADY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 7 PM. SO FAR, THE MAJORITY OF THE REPORTS WE HAVE RECEIVED ARE HAIL-RELATED, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED REPORTS OF STRONG WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. THE LATEST (18Z) LAPS SOUNDING FOR BNA SHOWS A LIFTED INDEX AROUND -5 AND CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY OF ALMOST 2,100 J/KG. PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS INCREASED TO 1.86 INCHES WITH THE K-INDEX A ROBUST 35. WIND SHEAR IS MINIMAL WITH 0-3 SRH OF ONLY 50. SOUNDING ALSO SHOWS A PRONOUNCED MID-LEVEL DRY LAYER CENTERED AROUND 600 MB. THEREFORE, THE SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. EXPECT THE COLD FRONT TO COME THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE MAINLY BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z, WITH POP'S DROPPING OFF CONSIDERABLY AFTER 06Z AND GONE ALTOGETHER AFTER 12Z. EXPECT ONLY A SLIGHT DROP-OFF IN TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WITH THE WIND SHIFT, BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE RIDGE MOVES EAST OF THE MID STATE. AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK, THE GFS & ECMWF DEVELOP AN INVERTED TROUGH TO OUR WEST WITH DEEP GULF MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE, WITH A CHANCE OF STORMS ON THURSDAY, AND AN EVEN BETTER CHANCE FRIDAY & SATURDAY.
