LAWRENCEBURG (AP) — A tornado that hit a southern Tennessee city has damaged several headstones in the community’s second oldest cemetery, where the actor and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson is buried.

Lawrenceburg City Administrator Chris Shaffer said officials won’t know how many headstones were damaged by Wednesday’s EF-1 tornado at Mimosa Cemetery until several large oak trees are cleared away, WTVF-TV reported.

WTVF said the trees narrowly missed Thompson’s headstone. Thompson served as one of Tennessee’s senators from 1994 to 2003. Thompson was also an actor who appeared in at least 20 motion pictures and the TV series “Law & Order.” He died in 2015.

Local resident Jennifer May told WTVF she was driving nearby when she noticed something different about the cemetery.

“Walking through here and seeing this breaks my heart because these are loved ones,” local resident Jennifer May told WTVF.

Shaffer said crews are working nonstop to clear the damage. Crews will reach the cemetery in the latter part of the cleanup since the area is narrow and requires more equipment to cut down the trees.

Shaffer said the city will do what it can to restore the headstones. Mimosa Cemetery was established in 1897 and is Lawrenceburg’s second oldest cemetery.
