Severe weather — including tornadoes, torrential rain and flash flooding — has impacted parts of the South in recent days.
At least three deaths caused by storms on May 8 had been reported in the region by press time. Disaster Relief volunteer teams are assessing the damage after thousands were left without power in states including Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. “It’s hard to figure out where to start because the damage is so massive,” said Wes Jones, disaster relief specialist for the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board.
Disaster Relief teams are also busy helping residents impacted by storms in Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, according to Coy Webb of Send Relief. (Baptist and Reflector contributed)
