Murray County, Georgia, will not be getting any federal relief funding for the damage caused by the deadly tornado that swept through the county on Easter and killed seven people.
Murray County Commissioner Greg Hogan said Tuesday he had been waiting for three weeks to hear from the Federal Emergency Management Administration on a decision.
On Friday morning, Hogan got the call and the notice that President Donald Trump refused to declare Murray County a disaster site.
“It broke my heart,” he said.
Hogan said the estimated value of destroyed and damaged property did not reach the minimal level of $7 million to qualify for the federal government to help.
