I am saddened to see the havoc caused in our area this afternoon by a tornado. It has caused considerable damage to homes and businesses, and unfortunately, there has been loss of life. Please check on loved ones who may have been affected by the tornado, and if you are yourself injured, please contact local emergency services immediately.

This storm has harmed the property and livelihoods of our loved ones and neighbors. In the event you need to contact a state agency for assistance in the aftermath of the storm, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. I hope to be helpful to you during this troubling time. The tornado left destruction and harm in its wake, including dangerous downed power lines. However, I know that our community will prevail over this disaster.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all who are affected by the tornado.
