FLINTSTONE, Ga. – U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., toured the tornado destruction in Catoosa, Dade and Walker counties on Saturday.
In Walker County, the senator talked with homeowners in the Eagle Landing subdivision in Flintstone, who were hit hard by Wednesday’s deadly storms.
One of those residents is Mike Rogers. Standing outside the splintered remains of his home, Rogers told Isakson that the whole experience was “surreal.”
Rogers said he, his wife and two children had gone out to eat Wednesday. When they got home, the road to their subdivision was blocked by debris. They walked in the street to get to their house, which they discovered had been ripped apart.
“I never thought it would happen to us,” Rogers said.
