Last weekend the brethren and the young men (and the women who wanted to participate) of our church spent Saturday and Sunday (we only had Sacrament Meeting that day so that the guys could get back out to work) helping to clean up from the tornado damage that took place on Thursday, Feb 19th. They chose an area of the devastation and focused on helping the families that lived there. On Sunday afternoon, everyone met back at the church for a luncheon for the workers, the families affected, and church members. Dave took these pictures from the trenches, while I was home making cookies and chicken and dumplin's for lunch. It was humbling to see this damage--these pictures were taken 3 days after the tornados hit! This area was even harder hit.
Trees were snapped
This mobile home was lifted off of its foundation
Debris in the trees
The holes in this house were from fallen trees. Those trees had been removed and were being cut up
Tarping roofs---some of the people were back living in their homes
Keep these families in your prayers as the clean-up continues.
