UPDATE: At least 19 killed as tornadoes rip through Nashville, Middle Tennessee; collapse buildings
NASHVILLE — Tornadoes killed at least 19 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 Tuesday all the way from Texas to North Carolina.
The governor did not provide specific counts on injured or unaccounted-for individuals, but noted that 30 rescue workers have suffered injuries. The Nashville tornado "appeared to be quite large, although storm surveys will be conducted on Tuesday to determine the official intensity of the storm," AccuWeather said.
At least 48 structures collapsed around Nashville, according to the Nashville Fire Department. In addition, windows were blown out and power lines were torn down in an area that stretched from the Germantown neighborhood, north of downtown, into the Five Points area of East Nashville and more than 20 miles to the east in Mount Juliet.
Buildings in the area suffered power outages. Apartment complexes located off Main Street had siding, slabs of concrete and other building materials ripped from structures. The storm also caused damage in Wilson County.
