Volunteers plan to clean up Sequatchie County’s storm- damaged East Valley community on Saturday morning.
An EF-2 tornado packing 111–135 mph winds swept through the area overnight Nov. 30, initially touching down in nearby Marion County before weaving a 13-mile path of downed trees, debris and chaos.
Volunteer coordinator Melissa Mackey with CSO Contracting recently announced the need for helping hands, equipment and food for the event.
