WASHINGTON – Tornadoes ripped through Tennessee early Tuesday, leaving at least 25 people dead, destroying buildings and toppling power lines hours before the southern US state voted in Super Tuesday primaries.
Voting hours were extended due to the devastation the twisters wrought when they touched down shortly after midnight – rubble was strewn across the state capital Nashville.
Residents ran for their lives as their homes came down around them. Tens of thousands lost power to their homes, officials said. (AFP)
