A series of deadly tornadoes blew through the southern state of Tennessee early Tuesday morning with much of the destruction concentrated in Nashville and nearby Putnam County.
Authorities believe up to 25 people have been killed in the twisters and many others have been reported missing.
More than 100 buildings including homes and businesses were either damaged or destroyed.
Many residents were asleep during the strong storms and those who were awake had only a few minutes warning.
