Tornado recovery efforts in Logan County

LOGAN COUNTY, Ky. – Tornadic winds once again rattled south central Kentucky.

On the two-year anniversary weekend of the December 2021 tornadoes, another tornado blew through the bottom of the state. The Southern Baptist Disaster Relief was able to help out in the rural county.

News 40 followed around some of the crew and saw a large amount of damage in the area. The station talked to volunteers of the relief effort, who say they’ll be there until around Friday.

Southern hospitality is touted as a big boon to the area, according to members of SBDR Kentucky. Volunteers said the good neighbors of the area are doing their part as well. The teams just got there Monday, operating out of the Dripping Springs Baptist Church, but they told the station they had already seen piles of debris on various yards.

They also reminded us that perspective is important.

The group had responded to Mayfield back in December of 2021 but said, even though the damage may look less than the devastation that was the town, volunteers said it’s a disaster to that specific family, and they matter just as much as anyone else.
