Coosa County is one of the areas now able to receive aid from FEMA after tornadoes touched down across Alabama last week.
The small community of Rehobeth in Equality suffered significant damage. Eight homes were destroyed, six were connected to one family.
“The only houses that are left here in this little Rehobeth with community is mine, my grandson, and my daughter’s,” said Donna Brown. While Brown’s home was spared, her heart is with her family members who are now left without a place to live.Another relative lost their home. Their 5-year-old is on a ventilator. They were able to salvage all of his medical equipment.“As devastated as our community is, God’s hedge of protection has been around this family — and just really showed them they might have lost material things, but these people that have pulled together and has gotten us through.”Tracy’s home was destroyed.
