Central Tennessee residents and emergency workers have begun cleaning up after severe weekend storms that killed six people while damaging buildings, turning over vehicles and knocking out power to tens of thousands.

Officials confirmed that three people, including a toddler, died after an apparent tornado struck Montgomery County 50 miles north west of Nashville near the Kentucky state border on Saturday afternoon.
