Photos: Tornado Damage in Tennessee (25 photos)

In the night between March 2 and 3, at least one tornado tore through central Tennessee, damaging hundreds of houses and larger buildings, and killing at least 24 people. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has declared a state of emergency, as rescuers search for dozens of people still listed as missing, most of them in Putnam County, east of Nashville. Below are images taken in the days after the storm, of the widespread destruction and some of the rescue and salvage work taking place.
