President Donald Trump announced he will be visiting Tennessee after tornadoes ripped across the state, including Nashville, early on Tuesday morning, leaving at least 25 people dead and flattening about 40 buildings.

“Prayers for all of those affected by the devastating tornadoes in Tennessee. We will continue to monitor the developments. The Federal Government is with you all of the way during this difficult time,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
