1 week after the tornado in Snow Hill, our LDS stake was able to provide some help in the clean-up. The Church delivered a semi full of food (enough to feed 300 people 1 meal a day for 2 weeks) and disaster clean-up supplies (like chainsaws and generators) for the community. 200 members came out to clean up debris. Seeing such destruction is sad and humbling. Finding item such as children's toys and wedding photos brings the emotionality of the situation to the surface.
This home has been moved completely off it's foundation.
What's left of a row of businesses. There is a truck stuck INSIDE the building.
The power of the wind was evident all around us. This floodlight post was bent in half.
It was images like this that were the hardest thing for me to see.
We cleaned an area where one of the oldest homes in the county stood. Green county had secured hundreds of thousands of dollars to restore it. The home was completely destroyed.
Homes from across the street were also blown off their foundations and across to the other side.

It was a privilege to serve the community and take a small part in the clean-up process. Easing burdens on Easter weekend is a perfect way to remember the Savior and his love for us.
