BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
It’s been about six months since a tornado ripped through Woodville, leaving neighbors here with a long road to recovery. I’m Kenya Cardonne, your Southeast Tallahassee neighborhood reporter. As neighbors work on rebuilding their homes, they’re also working on rebuilding community spirit.
Stephanie Miller, Neighbor – “We like just went home that night and woke up like a normal day.. and then it wasn’t.”
Stephanie Miller remembers May 10th as if it were yesterday. Six months after tornadoes wrecked her town, she says the initial shock is just now starting to wear off.
Miller – “You’re starting to get used to trees that you’ve seen driving down Woodville highway— they’re not there, and that’s normal now, because it’s what we’re used to now.”
