Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East<\/strong> was one of thousands of residents who lost power during the storm.<\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s our house and now my parents without power,\u201d Johnson East, 34, shared via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. \u201cWe came to my parents when ours went out and a tree took out our electrical panel. Going on 4 days now without power and not an end in sight yet. Now my parents just went out so we have to game plan of where to go. 4 adults, 3 kids and 6 animals.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Johnson East, \u201cmost everyone\u201d was leaving the city because \u201cit\u2019s just way too cold.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven fireplaces aren\u2019t keeping up or people are running out of supplies or wood,\u201d she claimed. \u201cWe don\u2019t have generators. Not super common in Nashville. Will for sure be the first thing we get when we get through this. Generator and cleaning up 100 tires.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessie James Decker<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<\/blockquote>\nAs a resident of Tennessee since 2007, country singer Jessie James Decker said she has \u201cnever seen anything like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo all the line workers and first responders, thank you. \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd,\u201d she wrote via Instagram<\/span> on Tuesday. \u201cWe can\u2019t even imagine what you\u2019re going through or how tirelessly you\u2019re working to help our community.\u201d<\/p>\nLauren Lane\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
The Bachelor<\/i><\/span> alum Lauren Lane<\/strong> shared a glimpse into what her neighborhood looked like as she tried to help the birds that visit her home.<\/p>\n\u201cNashville looks so, so sad right now. So many trees down and destruction,\u201d she wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019ve been feeding them daily. They have been devouring food. My feeder came off the window. It was so cold, but they are hungry birdies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chyler Leigh<\/b><\/h2>\n
Hallmark actress Chyler Leigh<\/strong> didn\u2019t take any chances before Winter Storm Fern arrived in her city.<\/p>\n\u201cI prepped as well as I could for this ice storm. Truly. I have my kids and my pets with me so I didn\u2019t take an iota of situation without great concern beforehand,\u201d she wrote via Instagram<\/span> on Tuesday. \u201cThat said, I\u2019ve been without power since Sunday morning. I\u2019ve had a multitude of large trees and limbs fall in my yard (luckily no structural damage). It honestly sounded like mini explosions as the actual scene unfolded. Trees crashing as they succumbed to the weight of the ice. Very eerie.\u201d<\/p>\nAshley Wahler<\/b><\/h2>\n
The Hills<\/i><\/span> alum Ashley Wahler<\/strong> couldn\u2019t believe what she saw in her community.<\/p>\n\u201cStill SOOOOOO many people without power. I have never seen so much destruction. It\u2019s just heartbreaking,\u201d she wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. \u201cWith as many trees as I have seen down with friends and their farms, etc., it looks like a majority of properties have been ok, which is literally God\u2019s protection right there!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cole LaBrant<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<\/blockquote>\nInfluencer Cole LaBrant<\/strong> was able to step outside of his home and share a view into what his neighborhood block looked like after the storm.<\/p>\n\u201cThis ice storm has really rocked our family and our city. I don\u2019t think anybody was really prepared for this level of devastation,\u201d he shared via Instagram<\/span> on Tuesday. \u201cWe\u2019re very fortunate to have great friends who have helped us out.
