Tornadoes tear though Tennessee, 25 dead

WASHINGTON: Tornadoes ripped through Tennessee early on Tuesday , leaving at least 25 people dead, destroying buildings and toppling power lines hours before the southern US state voted in Super Tuesday primaries.

Television broadcast showed cars piled up, hangars destroyed and what appeared to be dozens of aircraft smashed into each other at Nashville's John C. Tune Airport. Mayor John Cooper said around 150 people had been transported to medical facilities while nearly 50 buildings had collapsed in the city, the hub of the US country music scene."We send our love and our prayers of the nation to every family that was affected, and we will get there and we will recover and we will rebuild and we will help them," Trump said.

In the city's East Nashville neighbourhood, resident David Haskell said that he and his wife bolted into their storm shelter after an alarm on their phone went off. More than 73,000 customers were without power amid scattered storms throughout the day, TEMA reported. Some polling stations would stay open until 10.00pm Central time , a local judge ruled, to allow those affected by the tornado to vote.
