CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The A&E network’s “Disaster Guy” show crew is here to help a family whose home was destroyed by an April 27 tornado.
Bradley County Commissioner J. Adam Lowe told commissioners Monday that officials were contacted by A&E and the United Way several weeks ago. He said show producers were looking at several families in the community and chose one in his district.
“It’s in Bates Pointe, the very back,” Lowe said. “They are going to be rebuilding this house for the show the ‘Disaster Guy.’ They’ve worked with [the homeowner] and his insurance.”
But the network wants to keep the show’s content a secret for now. Some filming was done at the demolished house Tuesday morning, but the street leading to the house was blocked.
“We are hoping that [the show] will be some good publicity for the community,” Lowe said. “They are a very deserving family.”
