Update from today: Church members headed out again today (Sunday) to do more work at the golf course and help homeowners in the disaster zone clear up debris. I just got off the phone with Bishop Braun and he told me that today most of the debris was actually cleared at the golf course and a lot was done at homes in the area. We are so grateful to all those who came out to work and to those that helped at the church to watch the children so more parents could go out.
Bulldozers are now coming in and leveling the remaining structures so nobody can come in. Bishop Braun said we are not organizing anything now for Monday or Tuesday, but hopefully we can regroup for Wed., see what was accomplished by the bulldozers, and assess what needs to be done then. The tent is still set up at the golf course but all of the tools have been relocated to the church. I know this is going to be disappointing for all those that want to get in and help, but we really can't do anything for now. You can contact ICC or some of the local Washington churches to find out if there are any needs that they have right now. If you find something to do on an individual level that would be great, but really we won't know until Wed. what more need to be done out in the disaster zone.
Once again - thank you so much for all the overwhelming support we have received. One huge blessing from this tornado has been seeing the community pull together, and all the surrounding communities pour in to support us in our time of need. What a time to count our blessings as we move into Thanksgiving week.
Here are a few pictures from Saturday & Sunday (I got a few of these from Shanna Kurth and Rebecca Monson's facebook pages):
