Our hearts are heavy as we learn of the loss of lives and critical injuries from yesterday’s storms. Many families have completely lost their homes and others are doing what they can to make repairs. This was a devastating and tragic weather event in our community.
From emergency services and utilities crews to churches, businesses, and community volunteers, we are so grateful for everyone who has worked through the night to help their neighbors. Last night at the Northeast High shelter, there was an outpouring of support and donations from churches, restaurants, businesses, and community members. We did not want to accidentally leave anyone out by name, so we just want to say thank you to everyone who has offered support. The Clarksville-Montgomery County community is strong, and families will need our continued support, love, and prayers in the days ahead.
