At least seven 9 19 die after tornadoes strike Nashville, middle Tennessee
|
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Gray News/AP) - Tornadoes ripped across Tennessee early Tuesday, killing at least seven people.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency confirmed the preliminary death toll as first responders search the wreckage.
One twister hit downtown Nashville, collapsing about 40 buildings around the city. One was a concert venue that had just held an event for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ahead of Super Tuesday voting.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper and the sheriffs of Putnam and Benton counties reported the fatalities across a landscape littered with blown-down buildings, snapped power lines and huge broken trees.
Authorities are pleading with the able-bodied to stay indoors, at least until daybreak can reveal the dangers of a landscape littered with blown-down walls and roofs, snapped power lines and huge broken trees.
Some schools already closed for Super Tuesday voting will be kept closed this week and beyond to handle repairs.
