At least nine people have been killed according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency -- four in Putnam County, two in Nashville, two in Wilson County and one in Benton County -- after a devastating tornado ripped through Nashville in the early hours of Tuesday morning with authorities saying many others being injured and multiple businesses and homes flattened.
The destruction came amid an outbreak of at least reported five twisters in three states -- Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky -- and East Nashville as well as the suburb of Mt. Juliet were hit particularly hard.
Mt. Juliet Police Department issued an update in the early morning hours Tuesday.
"Our community has been greatly impacted by a tornado," said Captain Chandler of the Mt. Juliet Police Department. "There are multiple homes damaged and multiple people injured. Our officers are in the early stages of this response and we continue to assess what is happening ... there are multiple homes damaged, multiple people injured, multiple people still trapped. We need your help."
