Officials said they are still in a “search and rescue phase” to see if there are more dead or injured.
“This is a sad day for our community. We are praying for those who are injured, lost loved ones, and lost their homes,” Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden said in a statement.
Government officials in Sumner County said “significant damage” occurred Saturday from a tornado that struck Gallatin and Hendersonville, Tennessee, northeast of Nashville.
“At this time, we are working to respond to multiple calls throughout the county and to establish Red Cross shelters in Gallatin and Hendersonville,” said a joint statement from the communities’ mayors.
“It is of paramount importance that citizens stay off of the roads and allow first responders and utility crews to respond,” the statement read.
