On a tornado-ripped hill in Bradley County overlooking Apison, Aaron Scroggins, Brian Cabrera and William Howard are restoring a roof and doing a little something for the economy as well – especially their own.
If there is a good side to the some 300 tornadoes that razed the South in late April, it is the boost that rebuilding and restoring is providing to local economies.
Scroggins, a roofer, said he was working about two days a week for the last year and a half before record-setting storms swept through Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.
Since then, he’s working every day.
“We could work seven days a week if we wanted to,” he said.
