Wetumpka mayor Jerry Willis held a press conference with local officials on Sunday morning at Wetumpka City Hall. They gave updates on the damage around downtown but opened with a statement of gratitude for the response from people around the county and around the state.

“First of all, I’d like to thank all the mayors in the river region that have reached out to us to offer their assistance and sending their workers and first responders in here to assist us,” Willis said. “It’s been awesome the support that we’ve had. We have suffered a tremendous amount of damage. This is something we have never had here before so it’s quite an adjustment for us and what we’re dealing with.”
