Progress

Number Five in a Ten Part Series

Progress Report Number Six

Everyone in Middle Georgia remembers the Mother's Day 2008 Tornado. This is a picture of one of the streets in Macon, Georgia just West of the former Westgate Shopping Center. The Flower Child walked this street on the Monday Morning after the Tornado to ascertain if a fellow Church Member was alive and well. There were power lines on the street, trees down and even punctured roofs. The scene was a total mess, totally impassable by auto or pickup truck.

This is a picture taken on December 26th, 2008 and shows the total transformation that has happened to this area. It is acknowledged that our Federal, State and Local Governments stepped up to the plate, but the bulk of the reconstruction was executed by contractors, utilities and the homeowners themselves. The days after the Tornado saw a plethora of news coverage of this area. The Flower Child takes this opportunity today to simply point out that Progress has been carried out with little current fanfare. I say "Well Done" to everyone who made this reconstruction possible.
