By Firefighter/EMT Christopher Eno
March 1, 2016

Friends and family from out of the area are asking how recovery is going in our after the F-2 tornado that struck our area on Wednesday, February 24, 2016.

Ginger Stoltzfus took a several photographs last Saturday, 3 days after the storm, when rebuilding was well underway, and has allowed us to share them with the public.

Ginger writes: "This is for those of you who would like to see the work in progress made possible by a couple thousand volunteers. A lot has been accomplished, but there is a good bit that needs done on some properties. So much food and manpower has been donated. We are again so very thankful that there have been no injuries. These pictures were taken Saturday, February 27th and are in order of the way the tornado hit our area."

This is where the damage started in the White Horse area. A barn had shifted 4 inches and part of the bottom collapsed. It's now in the process of being rebuilt. (Ginger Stoltzfus photo)

Millwood Rd. Up on the left they put a Wedding Barn up so that the people working in this area (Millwood Greenhouse, Eby's Chicken Farm and 2 other damaged farms) wouldn't have to go far for food. Food was prepared and brought in by the neighbors and there was something there for the workers to eat all day. There were between 450-500 people that were served lunch here both Friday and Saturday.

There were 125 people inside this barn having a benefit auction when the tornado hit it. There was some damage done to the east side of the barn, but you can't tell now as it's almost completely repaired. No one in the barn was hurt! (Ginger Stoltzfus photo)
