Wild video shows monster tornados barreling through Tennessee, leaving many injured after tossing cars, trashing houses and downing power lines – with millions of people across South now under tornado watch

Wild video posted on social media showed multiple tornadoes tearing through the South Saturday, with watches still in effect in many states over the stormy weekend.

Many municipalities reported injuries, damage to homes and buildings, and downed power lines, and some heard reports of people killed by the debris.

Several people posted videos of the tornado in the South on social media, including one poster on X that showed a tornado from a wrestling school in Madison.

A Clarksville man surveyed the damage to his home and said he heard there had been confirmed deaths.

“We are safe, but there are confirmed deaths and lives forever ruined…my friend lost his home…it flew past our house and straight to my friend’s house,” Vincent Welshman wrote.

In North Rutherford, one person inspecting the wreckage said the tornadoes destroyed a park and a fire station.

A Clarksville reporter documented how the chaos spread to several homes, businesses and a Pizza Hut parking lot.

Clarksville police and firefighters were responding to multiple reports of damage in the northern part of the city, which is located north of Nashville near the Kentucky state line.

Residents were asked to stay home while first responders assessed the situation.

A statement from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said the tornado touched down around 2 p.m. and damaged several homes.

The statement said there were no confirmed injuries or missing people, but searches in the area were ongoing.

The shelter was opened at a local high school.

City of Clarksville spokesman Jimmy Settle said in an email that he did not have any additional information about the number of damaged structures or possible injuries.

In Weakley County, Tennessee, about 110 miles northwest of Nashville, “several” injuries were reported.

Damage to homes and downed power lines were also reported in Kentucky counties.

According to the data, thousands of people have already been left without electricity. Weather.com.

Several counties in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama are under a tornado watch for part of the night.

Much of the eastern United States is expected to be hit by “severe” storms with gale-force winds, heavy rain and snow over the weekend.

Multiple hazard alerts are already in effect in several states, with 1,200 miles from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border expected to be affected by severe weather.

Winds of up to 60 mph could disrupt air travel, and snow and ice could cause further chaos to commutes Monday morning.

The storm began brewing Friday evening, feeding on residual energy from a deadly “atmospheric river” earlier this week that killed at least two people in the Pacific Northwest.

It will strengthen and widen through Saturday, with the wettest and windiest conditions occurring Sunday through Monday before a drop in temperatures could turn precipitation into snow.

Howling winds could topple trees, disrupt flights and cause power outages as they sweep across New England on Sunday.

The storm will reach its peak strength by midday as it will cover much of the East and wind gusts will increase significantly compared to Saturday, where storms will be concentrated more in the South.

By Sunday evening, winds could reach 60 mph over New England and coastal New York and New Jersey.

The public has been warned to keep any holiday decorations outdoors, while those traveling by air may face delays or cancellations.

“Gusty winds will blow around exposed properties and make driving difficult, especially for drivers of high-performance vehicles,” the National Weather Service said.

“Tree branches can be blown over, which can cause power outages. Be especially careful when driving, especially if you are driving a high-end vehicle.”

Almost the entire eastern United States will be drenched in heavy rain, with some areas receiving three inches of water.

Forecasters warned flash flooding was likely, with parts of the east coast expected to be drenched in at least an inch of rain.

Showers are expected to start in the Midwest and Mississippi Valley before moving east.

Rain is expected to start Saturday and continue through Sunday, possibly affecting some NFL games in Maryland and New Jersey.

The heat surge that started in the northern tier will spread east, causing temperatures to rise 20 to 30 degrees or more above average, meaning most of the precipitation will likely fall as rain.
