Tornadoes killed at least 21 people in Tennessee as violent storms roared through the state late Monday and early Tuesday morning, part of a sprawling system that threatened more severe weather all the way from Texas to North Carolina.
A powerful and deadly storm moving through Middle Tennessee spawned a tornado that touched down in Nashville early Tuesday morning, cutting a swath of destruction that stretched through the city for miles.
Earlier, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee had said "a number of people" are missing and many are injured. The governor, who declared a state of emergency for Tennessee, did not provide specific counts on injured or unaccounted-for individuals but noted that 30 rescue workers have suffered injuries.
