The Jan. 12 2023 tornado brings damage to River Run area. Now a year later, Tallapoosa and Coosa County work to continue the recovery process. 

After an EF-3 tornado ripped through Tallapoosa and Coosa County on Jan. 12, 2023, the area has worked to rebuild, make repairs and overall find recovery.
