• Leon County officials said their crews spent hundreds of hours clearing 25,000 yards of debris and drove 1,300 miles through various neighborhoods to assess the damage.
• They also spent $1 million in relief funds to help affected neighbors.
• Watch the video to hear what one neighbor has seen of the reconstruction efforts.

TRANSCRIPT OF THE MISSION:

The Leon County team said they traveled more than 1,300 miles through our neighborhoods to assist with recovery efforts following May's tornadoes. Leon County officials released a report detailing the work they did in the hours and days following May 10.

I look more closely at these numbers and ask my neighbors about the response they've seen. Neighbors like Barbara Millar are spending her Fourth of July holiday week continuing their recovery.

“We got the permits last Thursday. My construction crew had my roof done in four or five days, they fixed my trusses,” Millar said. “Now they're starting on my ceiling.”

She and more than 1,600 other neighbors saw damage or destruction to their homes.

In addition, according to the Leon County team, more than 25,000 cubic yards of debris was removed from our residential areas.

“When they took my trees, they were stacked two stories high and within a day or two they were gone,” Millar said. “Every time I see one of those double trucks, I applaud. I think to myself, 'You're saving us.'”

Such measures cost the county $7.3 million, according to a new 25-page report from the county government.

What they did that justifies this price:

• Clearing 130 streets within 24 hours of the storm.
• By June 20, over 5,500 truckloads of rubble will be collected in all parts of the city.
• More than 2,100 kilometers of travel to assess the damage in residential areas.

In addition to the $7.3 million, the county distributed $1 million in assistance to 472 affected neighbors.

I first met Millar when she applied to be a part of TEAM Leon.

“I received the money from my last interview,” Millar said. “I donated some of it to Samaritan's Purse because they've done so much for me and I'm so grateful.”

After the county spends that money, county officials will decide next week how to replenish the county's disaster fund and pay for storm-related costs.

Their goal is to increase the amount to $3 million, with the hurricane and other storm preparedness fund currently at $2.5 million.

Millar said she is glad they are working to keep the fund filled for future disasters.

“I'm so grateful that they're putting this on hold because you know that's not the only thing that's going to happen to Tallahassee,” Millar said. “I hope it doesn't happen this summer.”

The final round of storm damage cleanup in Leon County is scheduled to be completed by July 12.
