The deadly storm tore through Music City early in the morning this week. The tornado destroyed people’s homes and businesses in Germantown and East Nashville, among other areas of the city.

Tragically, building structures weren’t the only ones affected by the storm. According to Tennessee’s Emergency Management Community Relations Officer, Maggie Hannan, on Tuesday morning around 22 people had been confirmed dead across four counties.

Two people died in Davidson County

At least two people had died from the storm in Davidson County. The body count, unfortunately, has kept climbing as debris is removed and the city works to reinstate itself to its former glory.

Body count revised to 24

Later on in the day, the “Tennessean” reported that the number of those dead was said to be “at least 25 people.” However, it was revised to 24 after it was discovered one person who died didn't pass on from the storm.

It revealed that 16 people had passed on in Putnam County, according to its Mayor Randy Porter.
