Severe storms wreaked havoc in the state of Tennessee, claiming the lives of at least six individuals and leaving 23 others injured. On Saturday afternoon, a tornado struck Montgomery County, resulting in three fatalities, including a child. Additionally, three more deaths were reported in the suburbs of Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, according to the Xinhua news agency.
In response to the potential dangers posed by the adverse weather conditions, downed power lines, and debris, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office urged the community to take shelter and refrain from using roadways. The inclement weather is part of a widespread system expected to unleash severe thunderstorms, high winds, and tornadoes across the Southern region throughout the weekend.
This tragic event unfolded nearly two years after the National Weather Service documented 41 tornadoes on the same date, affecting several states, with 16 tornadoes in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. The recurrence of such destructive weather emphasizes the ongoing vulnerability of these areas to natural disasters.
