A community in recovery: Dresden beginning to rebuild after tornado outbreak

Dresden, Tennessee, lies just a little more than 30 miles south of Mayfield. The town of less than 3,000 people was hit by the same highly destructive and deadly storm system that devastated the Graves County community in December.

An EF-3 tornado – part of a highly destructive and deadly storm system that tracked hundreds of miles across multiple states – tore clear across Weakley County and through Dresden’s downtown, injuring eight people on its way through middle Tennessee. Its city hall and fire departments were damaged, along with about 200 homes and 21 businesses. Two churches were destroyed in Dresden, too – the Dresden Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Dresden First United Methodist Church.

Now, nearly three months later, Dresden is continuing to work towards recovery.
