As the country music community woke up on Tuesday morning (March 3), they started their day with the devastating news that several tornadoes touched down overnight near and in downtown Nashville.<\/p>\n

And their thoughts and prayers started rolling in on social media. <\/p>\n

We ducked around this cell and landed at john tune airport around 11:30 last night. Glad we landed when we did. Wouldn\u2019t have been good an hour later. It was the cell that turned into the tornado. Lot of people lost their homes. No one comes together as a city like Nashville does pic.twitter.com\/qvCjrYNu0x<\/a><\/p>\n

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. pic.twitter.com\/pv2VPCafhc<\/a><\/p>\n

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the Nashville area affected by the tornado last night. Even if the tornado didn\u2019t hit our personal space, we are all affected because we are Nashvillians. My heart\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/S6dpfGfgg1<\/a><\/p>\n

My family and I are safe and sound, but this morning reveals terrible damage to this beautiful city. Lives lost. Homes, schools, & businesses destroyed. Our hearts and prayers go out to those most deeply affected, and soon our hands will. Nashville will rise and lift the broken.<\/p>\n

We are ok. I\u2019m in New York and Maren and our house are fine, but our neighborhood is not. Places we have loved for many years don\u2019t look like they are there any more. We are so thankful and devastated at the same time.<\/p>\n

And Carrie Underwood, who was in New York doing interviews for her new book, told NBC, \u201cI\u2019m texting people I know. Mike said he had to go upstairs at 2am and grab the boys to take them down to a little safe room in our house. I bet everybody was crying.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nashville Metro Police have reported that so far, there have been several deaths and that 40 buildings have collapsed around the city, with the East Nashville and Germantown neighborhoods being hit the hardest. <\/p>\n

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has set up a donations page<\/a> for anyone who wants to help Nashville get through the days ahead and the rebuilding efforts to come. <\/p>\n
