Elmore County students help with storm aftermath in Wetumpka

Cliff Williams / The Herald Members of the Wetumpka High School football team helped with the cleanup along Willow Springs Road in Wetumpka Thursday after the area was damaged by an EF-2 tornado Wednesday morning.

Just a day after an EF-2 tornado struck residences along Willow Springs Road, nearly 200 students from Stanhope Elmore High School and Wetumpka High School were working together to clean up debris.

Elmore County Schools Superintendent Richard Dennis surveyed the damaged Wednesday just hours after trees were downed and homes damaged.
