WATCH: Tornado Tears through a Tennessee Neighborhood But Misses This House

Thousands of people remain without power today after tornados tore through Tennessee.

According to media reports, the worst of the storms hit Saturday. Meteorologists have confirmed numerous tornadoes touched down. Hundreds of homes are damaged, and officials are reporting at least six deaths. Today, many families remain at shelters with schools and businesses closed.

One family captured video of one of the tornadoes as they watched it from their backyard.

The video shows the tornado as it makes its way across the area. The two people behind the camera are hesitant but remain where they are after it deciding the tornado will miss their home. The video comes from Clarksville—one of the worst-hit areas.

To make matters worse in the state, a cold front followed the storms, leaving overnight temperatures below freezing. It’s a significant issue, with around 18,000 homes and businesses still in the dark.

If you are somewhere that’s experiencing a tornado warning, you should seek shelter immediately.

Here are safety tips from FEMA:

• Go to a safe room, basement, or storm cellar.
• If there is no basement, get to a small, interior room on the lowest level.
• Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls.
• If you can safely get to a sturdy building, do so immediately.
• Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You’re safe in a low, flat location.
• Watch out for flying debris that can cause injury or death.
• Use your arms to protect your head and neck.
