TRANSCRIPT

While the situation in some communities is returning to normal after the tornadoes of May 10, the damage is still being felt in other parts of the city.

I'm Terry Gilliam, your reporter for Southwest Tallahassee.

I ask my neighbors because they hope that all the debris will be cleared away by the county deadline.

“My boys and I were in the house when a tornado came through.”

Jennifer Agama and her three sons remember the tornadoes of May 10 as if it were yesterday.

“This day was very scary!”

Tornadoes swept through the city and left behind major damage.

Branches were piled up at the side of the road, some trees had snapped off their roots and were still lying in front of the houses.

“There is still a lot of work to be done, but we hope to have everything completed by next week.”

On June 24, Leon County officials began the final cleanup effort, which is scheduled to be completed on July 12.

“The trees are being cleared away. We still have a lot of debris that has fallen, but I see the efforts that have been made. It makes a big difference.”

According to Leon County, more than 8,526 truckloads of debris were collected. That's 327,616 cubic yards. 14 times as much debris as after Hurricane Idalia.

While I was in my neighborhood on Monday, I spoke with another neighbor, Tim Noel.

I asked him about his experiences and whether he believes the county's debris removal effort will be successful.

“I never want anyone to experience a tornado. I think they'll be able to do it because they got everything done so quickly after the tornado. The debris was gone as quickly as it came down.”

I asked Agama if she hopes for a comprehensive cleanup, not just in her neighborhood but in the entire city.

“I hope so!”
