At least two tornadoes ripped through the center of Tennessee, the United States of America, leaving at least 25 dead (1 indirectly), about 150 injured, several missing, and widespread damage to home and other buildings around Nashville, the state's capital and most populated city. Local media reports that as the tornadoes touched down after midnight and moved very quickly, many people did not have much time to take shelter. An estimated 73,000 people are currently without power, several gas pipes are leaking, and emergency response units are currently attempting to locate the missing and provide medical treatment to the injured.

The hardest hit was the Putnam County about 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of the state capital, where 19 deaths have been reported so far. 3 deaths were ported in Wilson County, 2 deaths were reported in Davidson County, and 1 death was reported in Benton County. Many aircraft were damaged or destroyed at the John C. Tune Airport of the Davidson County. As of now, the exact casualty count along with total economic damage are still being assessed.

A state of emergency was declared for all of Tennessee and United States President Donald J. Trump said that he plans to visit the state on Friday.
