Rebuilding tornado-ravaged Kentucky town could take years
MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) Although his birthday is still a few days away, 60-year-old Harley Kelso knows what he's getting from his sister.
The retired truck driver, whose home and car were battered by last week's tornado one of dozens that ripped across the South and Midwest, killing at least 90 people said his sister is bringing chainsaws and her two sons to his home in hard-hit Mayfield to cut apart a tree that's resting on his family's minivan.
I lost my car and the corner of my porch, Kelso said, sporting a T-shirt that read World's Greatest Papa. I'm just glad everyone in the neighborhood survived.
Such gratitude may sound odd in the aftermath of a long-track tornado that demolished huge parts of Mayfield, but it's a common refrain these days in this tight-knit community of 10,000 people.
