Tornadoes swept Nashville, Tennessee, in the early hours of Tuesday, March 3, leaving many devastated and without power. 

 Schools, businesses, and homes were destroyed across the counties affected by the tornadoes: there are twenty-four confirmed fatalities, including five children under the age of thirteen. Thousands of citizens remain without power due to the high-speed tornadoes.

The picture above shows the extent of the damage caused by the tornadoes that swept through Nashville.

 Twenty-two people remain missing and thirteen adults have been identified out of the casualties. The governor states that it could be weeks until the city will be safe enough to return to. The tornadoes went up to dangerous wind speeds, as much as 175 miles per hour.

 Two tornadoes were confirmed to have gone through the city. Nashville has had two other recorded disastrous tornadoes in the past. One in 1933 and 1998. There has also been a curfew added from 8 am to 8 pm. Schools will be closed for the rest of the week to ensure the safety of students and teachers. These tornadoes have devastated many, but the state is doing the best they can to quickly send rescue teams across the city and rebuild to the best of their ability.
