Rodney Smith of Williamson cuts fallen trees on Grove Street in Barnesville where several homes were destroyed and the parents of 7-year-old Chloe Gunter were killed.
Cleanup continues
A week after the most deadly tornadoes in decades, residents in surrounding counties are still struggling to deal with the catastrophe. Donations are still being requested for storm victims in Spalding and Lamar counties. On Friday, the Pike County Tractor Club presented the Salvation Army with a check for $2,400 for local disaster relief.

Volunteers are needed at the Recovery Center in Griffin (located in the old Cooks grocery center on Taylor Street) to sort through and place donated items. Items needed include small, portable charcoal grills, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, coffee creamer and tea. The center now has refrigeration, so they can use milk, butter, eggs, cheese and sandwich meats.
