In response to the devastating tornadoes that struck Middle Tennessee on Wednesday, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has taken swift action by activating a Level 4 – Elevated State of Emergency. The severe weather impacted several counties including Giles, Cheatham, Lincoln, Maury, Rutherford, Smith, Warren, and Wilson.
Among these counties, Maury, Giles, and Lincoln were particularly hard hit, with radar-confirmed tornadoes causing significant damage. Tragically, one fatality was reported in Maury County as a result of the severe weather.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has mobilized its personnel and is collaborating closely with local authorities to assess the extent of the damage and ensure that safety remains the top priority. Crisis cleanup efforts have been initiated statewide to aid in the recovery process.
For those in need of assistance with tornado or severe weather-related damage, a Home Cleanup Hotline has been established at (615-488-1875) to provide help at no cost. This initiative aims to support affected individuals and communities during this challenging time.
