On behalf of Rebecca, Emily, Duncan and I, thank you.  Thank you family, friends, neighbors, church family, emergency response teams and emergency response manager for the helping hand extended to our family over the weekend of February 24th and 25th 2018," said Tyree.  "Aware of the storms Saturday night, we had no idea what we were to awake to Sunday morning.  Amazingly our house was spared, while a neighbor’s barn and our shop situated either side and in line with our house was hit by the storm event.  With all the community help that showed up, approximately 40 acres of debris had been pickup by around noon, and a tarp installed over the our shop just a few hours later.  Words cannot express the gratitude we have, or the sense of community felt."
