A Morgan County couple in their 80s is struggling with repairs after a tornado hit their home during severe storms last week. AmyWadas tells you how you can help:
The tornado hit right on the home Beth and David Dirkes, both 86 years old. The home suffered extensive damage both inside and out.“We were just getting ready to eat and sat down and then it started hailing,” said Beth."David says, 'Mom, get down here we gotta go downstairs' and the next thing we know, we heard glass — all heck went loose.”About a half an hour later, Beth said they came upstairs to see damage everywhere. They found debris and downed trees all over the property.
"This is the way they picked them up. I had two great grandkids out here one day picking pictures up like an Easter egg hunt,” said Beth. “We found an album on the ground and how it got out I don't know because it was in a drawer.”“Too old to do this,” said Beth.“I don't know if part of it will be salvageable or whether we'll have to take part of it down,” said Beth.
The Dirkes are calling a trailer on their property home for now until they can move back inside their house which Beth said may not happen for months.Beth said their home has been a family gathering spot for holidays and other celebrations for many years.
