Tornado cleanup a work in progress

![click on photos below to enlarge]

The tornado that swept through Logan County in August is long gone. But the work to clean up debris and damage is a job that many are still working on.  Recently, Phillip Pickett and Bill Dennis brought heavy equipment and worked to help clear up damage. Others involved included Steve Schilling, Steve Goodman (and several others in his heavy equipment crew), Steve Baker (his son Stephen as a volunteer and several members of the Baker professional tree service crew, who were paid by Steve Baker), Ed Mayfield (worked with work-release crew -- consisting of four prisoners from the county jail). Dan Hutchison and  Rebecca VanNydeggen, Salvation Army, supplied field support.

Glen Bonaparte and Ed Houchins supplied communications for EMA/MC-17.

Logan County EMA staff, Terry Storer, Dan Fulscher and Patty Storer picked up the food for the workers. More needs to be done as time and weather allows.
