When a tornado rips through an area, it’s easy to quickly forget that the cleanup can take months and months.
But that’s exactly what’s happening in Tallapoosa County after an EF-3 tornado came through the area during a slew of storms that saw a tornado outbreak across the state. The areas hit the worst in Tallapoosa County included Rock Springs, McBride Loop and Eagle Creek as well as the Horseshoe Bend National Military Park.
