Tennessee's Resilient Community Reeling from Deadly Tornadoes

Around 250 Army families at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, have been displaced due to tornadoes and severe weather that caused major destruction in the area. The tornadoes knocked out the power grid, leveled neighborhoods, and forced thousands of people from their homes. Although there were no reported fatalities among Fort Campbell personnel or their families, critical services such as water, heat, and electricity are expected to take a week or longer to repair. The base, home to the 101st Airborne Division and other military units, sustained no significant damage. The death toll from the tornadoes in Clarksville and neighboring counties near Nashville stands at six, with the possibility of it rising as emergency crews continue their search and rescue efforts.
