As a resident of Middle Tennessee, I recently visited the park. Though a large amount of clean-up has already been done, much evidence of the damage still remains. Pictures cannot capture the degree of destruction and just how wide a swath the tornado cut through the battlefield and surrounding neighborhoods. The permanent loss of huge old trees and damage to the delicate cedar glades is devastating. Thankfully, the monument and cemetery did not suffer the same fate.
