Nashville nonprofits were so overwhelmed with volunteers and donations for tornado relief over the weekend that they had to ask the helpers to take a day off.
Tennessee residents work to pick up the pieces after deadly tornadoesNASHVILLE, Tenn.
The National Weather Services said the storm that killed 24 people in Tennessee the pre-dawn hours last Tuesday spawned tenes. The most deadly of those hit Putnam County, about an hour east of Nashville, where 18 people died and another 88 were injured. There, too, officials have had to turn away people wanting to help.
Sales of T-shirts with the “I Believe in Nashville” logo from a popular mural around town had raised $500,000 for tornado relief by Monday, according to a news release. The women told police that Cory Sullivan was on a cot beside theirs at the shelter in a Nashville recreation center, according to an affidavit filed in General Sessions Court. They said Sullivan took an interest in them Sunday, trying to befriend them and buy them food.
