JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WTVO) — A Rockford native is searching for her husband after he went missing during Hurricane Helene’s hit in Tennessee.
After Hurricane Helene’s devastation, many families are still recovering. One family in Jonesborough, a city 300 miles east of Nashville, is still desperately searching for a loved one.
Keli, 55, and her husband Steve Cloyd, 60, were born and raised in Rockford. They recently celebrated 36 years of marriage.
The couple moved from Rockford to Tennessee three years ago to begin a new adventure. What they didn’t expect was the terrifying moments of these past few weeks.
On September 27th, Keli went into work while Steve stayed home with their dog, Orion, and monitored Hurricane Helene’s steady approach.
“There’s a road that I take that gets pretty flooded, so he was concerned about that,” Keli said. “I promised him when I got to work, I would just let him know that I was there and got there safely.”
Keli said Steve was texting her throughout the day, sending pictures and videos of the state of their home.
