Arlan Burnham, 10, is among the six people killed when powerful tornados ripped through Tennessee leaving another 83 people hurt

A 10-year-old boy has been identified as one of the six people who were killed from the powerful tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee on Saturday. 

Arlan Burnham was one of three people who have been confirmed dead from the disastrous EF-3 tornado that touched down in Clarksville, a town in Montgomery County. 

The boy's family has been hit with the tragic loss of their son and the loss of their entire home from the mayhem.

A total of 83 people were hurt and 23 are being treated at local hospitals with injuries after homes and businesses were damaged in multiple cities. 

Three others lost their lives on Nesbitt Lane in Madison and the death toll has risen to six, Fox 17 reported. 

Arlan's mother Katherine posted a heartfelt tribute to Facebook for her son where she described that their home 'was in the direct path of the tornado.' 

'My beautiful baby boy, Arlan, did not make it out of the house. Ella was taken to the hospital but was released with superficial injuries. Archer was with his mom. Our home is gone,' Katherine said in the post. 

The family's two-story home collapsed and trapped Arlan and his older sister.

Billy Urban, a neighbor rushed over to the scene as he helped pull the boy and his older sister from under the debris, but Arlan did not survive the wreckage. 

'I owe him so much. He saved our daughter,' Arlan's father Kyle told Clarksville Now. 

The family has urged others to show their support through a GoFundMe page that has been created by his colleagues.

'Please don't blow up kats phone. She has to replay this over and over again and it's getting exhausting having to hear her explain, cry and say thank you,' Kyle said in a Facebook post. 

Donations have poured in for the family as their page that was set to reach a maximum goal of $5,000 has now raised over $73,000.

Besides monetary donations, clothing donations have also been requested for the family. Arlan was a fourth grader at West Creek Elementary School.

Along with the massive tornadoes came hail the size of quarters pummeled down, while trees were uprooted, and power lines were downed in the deadly twisters.

Multiple municipalities have reported injuries and roofs torn off homes - and in Tennessee, 45,000 were still without power as of Sunday morning. 

Photos posted on social media showed damaged houses with debris strewn in the lawns, a tractor-trailer flipped on its side on a highway and insulation ripped out of building walls.

Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said in a statement: 'This is devastating news and our hearts are broken for the families of those who lost loved ones.

'The city stands ready to help them in their time of grief.'

A state of emergency was declared in Clarksville following the horrific twisters.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said he and his wife, Maria, were praying for all Tennesseans who had been affected by the storms.

'We mourn the lives lost and ask that everyone continue to follow guidance from local and state officials,' Lee said in a statement.

The National Weather Service issued multiple tornado warnings in Tennessee, and said it planned to survey an area where an apparent tornado hit in Kentucky.

The storm came nearly two years to the day after the National Weather Service recorded 41 tornadoes through a handful of states, including 16 in Tennessee and eight in Kentucky. A total of 81 people died in Kentucky alone.

Contributions made for the Burnham family are set to be used for rebuilding their home and funereal expenses for Arlan. 

The page said: 'Let us come together as a community to show Kyle Burnham and his family that they are not alone in their struggle.'

'Your generosity will provide them with the strength and resources needed to begin the healing process and rebuild their lives in the wake of this heartbreaking tragedy.'
