fleaner, spokesperson for the tennessee emergency management agency. thanks for taking some time to be with us. we know you folks are really busy there on the ground. give us a sense what is the situation like this morning? >> well, we have unfortunately had three fatalities in tennessee from the storms last night. we had one person in ray county and two people in perry county. we have about 13 counties overall reporting some type of damage, homes that have been impacted. we had a post office that has been destroyed but we are working with local officials, local emergency managers today to do damage surveys to get a sense of exactly how extensive it is so the number of counties impacted could go up from there and we know the national weather service is also out looking at potential tornado touch-downs, how intense were they and taking those kinds of evaluations. >> the pictures are devastating. i understand a state of emergency is in place.
