A series of deadly tornadoes that tore across central Tennessee early on March 3 left at least 25 people dead, reported The Washington Post.
Nashville alone suffered 48 collapsed buildings, according to the Nashville Fire Department.
On the Today show on March 3, Carrie Underwood revealed that she and husband Mike Fisher along with sons Jacob, 13 months, and Isaiah, 5, were all safe.
“I’m like texting people I know, and I’m asking my husband if everybody’s good,” Underwood, 36, said. “He said he had to go upstairs at like 2 a.m. and grab the boys and take them down to a little safe room in our house.”
The singer continued: “I was like, ‘I bet everybody is crying.’ It’s 2 a.m., freaking out, so it was scary.”
Other country stars also took to social media to mark themselves safe.
Maren Morris, 29, wrote on Instagram: “The tornado must have missed our block by an inch because we are alright but I am so depleted looking at the damage that has happened to our beautiful city. There are so many people in the streets helping already, though. Thinking of those who lost their loved ones + homes.”
Morris’ husband Ryan Hurd added: “We are ok. I’m in New York and Maren and our house are fine, but our neighborhood is not. Places we have loved for many years don’t look like they are there anymore. We are so thankful and devastated at the same time.”
Dierks Bentley, 44, said his drummer had his home wrecked by the tornadoes.
“@astephens1110 and I ducked around this crazy cell and landed at john tune airport around 11:30 last night, coming back from LA,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Glad we landed when we did. Wouldn’t have been so good an hour later. It was the cell that turned into the tornado. Lot of people lost their homes, including our drummer, and a lot of people in need. But no one comes together as a city like #nashville does.”
Kacey Musgraves wrote on Instagram: “Scary way to wake up. We’re lucky but some of my friends weren’t. So sad for Nashville.”
“The dogs, our home and I are safe,” Cassadee Pope wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to everyone who reached out. My thoughts are with those who lost their homes and businesses during this crazy tornado. The storms aren’t over so stay safe and sheltered, Nashville ?.”
Former Nashville star Sam Palladio, Pope’s boyfriend, also tweeted: “I’m devastated by the news coming out of Nashville right now. Praying everyone is safe. So many favorite places are just gone.”
A simple tweet by Dan + Shay read: “east nashville ?.”
Abby Smyers, Dan’s wife, wrote on Instagram that she and Dan were safe while adding, “Gutted. I love you, East Nashville.”
“I’m thankful for the well wishes here in Nashville from everyone,” Jake Owen wrote. “There are people that have lost loved ones and their homes. We as NASHVILLE will stand together and help anyone and everyone in need. That’s why I’m proud to live here and call it home.”
