On March 3rd, 2020, several powerful tornadoes ripped through several cities in Tennessee, including Nashville. At least 24 lives were lost, and 18 are confirmed missing. The twisters may not have been on the ground for long, but their power was enough to cause massive amounts of damage. Homes were damaged or destroyed, trees uprooted, hundreds of utility poles broken leaving thousands without power. As a result of the powerful tornadoes, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee declared a state of emergency.
