The Bible begins with these words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There are many people in the world who do not believe that statement.

Around 2:00 a.m., in the darkness of the night, mother nature unleashed her wrath as an EF-4 tornado touched down and ran for several miles along Highway 70 through Putnam County. This terrible storm left so much tragedy in its wake.
