"Our community has been greatly impacted by a tornado," said Cpt. Tyler Chandler of the Mt. Juliet Police Department. "There are multiple homes damaged and multiple people injured. Our officers are in the early stages of this response and we continue to assess what is happening ... there are multiple homes damaged, multiple people injured, multiple people still trapped. We need your help."
"There are gas lines that are leaking, power lines that are on the ground, and multiple emergency responders are responding to those who are injured and trying to get them the help that they need," Chandler continued. "We appreciate your concern, your prayers. Continue to pray for our first responders and those that are injured and we will continue to keep you updated."

"John C. Tune Airport (JWN), BNA’s sister airport in West Nashville, sustained significant damage due to severe weather earlier this morning," the statement read. There were no reported injuries. Several hangars have been destroyed, and power lines are down. In the interest of safety, the public is advised to avoid John C. Tune until further notice. The Airport Authority has activated its Emergency Operations Center to coordinate the response."
Super Tuesday polling stations may also have been impacted by the tornado, Jeff Roberts of the Elections Commission said in a statement. Any voter in Davidson County whose assigned precinct has been impacted may vote at the Election Commission Offices, the statement said. Polls open at various times, starting at 7 a.m. CST, depending on the county.
Nashville schools have been closed Tuesday.
Severe weather is expected in the South each day through Thursday.
On Tuesday, scattered severe storms with damaging winds or large hail are possible from central Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley. Parts of central Texas have the greatest chance of severe storms.
