The president’s action makes federal funding available to businesses and residents in Johnson, Kenton, Laurel, Lawrence, Menifee, Morgan and Pendleton counties. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, and low-cost loans to cover uninsured prop- erty losses. More counties may be added later as damage assessments are completed. For example, Magoffin County suffered extensive damage throughout Salyersville on Friday. Earlier Tuesday, residents and business owners re-entered the devastated Morgan County seat for the first time since Friday’s deadly tornadoes. West Liberty was crowded with utility crews restringing lines and working to restore power. The American Red Cross shelter at Morgan Elementary School closed as families moved to the Assembly of God Church at 558 Ky. 519. “We’re moving now so that families have a better long- term shelter and so that the school can get back to doing what they do best: teaching our kids,” said Terry Burkhart, chief executive of the American Obama declares Ky. major disaster Pictured above is the rub- ble of the home of Licking Valley Courier publisher Earl W. Kinner, which was completely destroyed by the EF-3 tornado that demolished much of downtown West Liberty on March 2. Kinner’s grandson, Austin, stands amid the destruction. He is the son of Greg and Karen Kinner, who lived next door to Earl Kinner. Their home was also destroyed. The LVC office across the street was also demolished in the storm.

Cantrell Local officials offered assur- ance and resolution to a devas- tated public during a series of meetings held Wednesday, March 7, to address the deadly March 2 EF-3 tornado that destroyed West Liberty and several outlying Morgan County communities. The tornado cut a wide swath across Morgan County and destroyed countless homes, businesses and historical build- ings on the heels of an EF-2 twister that touched down in the Mize, Greear and Malone communities just two days prior. Authorities said six Morgan Countians are confirmed dead as a result of the tornado, but a complete official casualty list is not available at press time. However, obituary listings for tornado-related deaths in The Lexington Herald-Leader have named the following people among those dead: • Charles Endicott, age unknown, of Blackwater. • Betty Sue Endicott, age unknown, of Blackwater. • Elizabeth Endicott, 72, of Blackwater. • Emma Dean Cecil, 87, of Woodsbend. • Wilmer Cecil, 90, of Woodsbend. • Alex Clayton Dulen, 86, of Williams Creek. It is unknown how many people died within city limits at this time. Additional deaths will be documented as infor- mation becomes available. The hardest-hit area was downtown West Liberty, which was reduced to rubble. Most homes and businesses were completely destroyed or severely damaged, as well as several community landmarks including the 105-year-old courthouse, the depression-era WPA building that houses the community center and the 100-year-old West Liberty United Methodist and Christian churches. The Licking Valley Courier office was severely damaged but remains standing. Editor/ Publisher Earl Kinner and his son, Greg Kinner, lost their homes to the storm, which left Earl Kinner trapped in the rub- ble of his house for a brief period. The Wells Hill area also sus- tained severe damage at Morgan County ARH and at West Liberty Elementary School. Several homes were also destroyed. The tornado also hit the Ezel, Woodsbend and Williams Creek communities, where heavy destruction was report- ed. The most poignant quote heard and read on local, state and national media and social networking outlets was simply, “Town is gone.” Approximately 60 West Liberty survivors were taken to an Elliott County shelter in the early morning hours of March 3 before they were sent back to the shelter at Morgan Central Elementary School in Greear. They were then bused on March 6 to Assembly of Faith Church on Hwy. 519, where they will remain indefi- nitely. The number of people housed in other shelters throughout Morgan and other counties remains unknown at this time. Shelters and distribution cen- ters for food, clothing and sup- plies were established through- out the county.

West Liberty will rebuild and Morgan County will recover, God willing, and your love, your compassion, and your help will never be forgotten. To our readers: The paper is appearing late this week. The tornado that lev- eled West Liberty destroyed the Courier Publishing Co., where this and our other two newspapers are normally pro- duced. The building, all production equipment and vehicles were destroyed, as were the homes and vehicles of Publisher Earl W. Kinner and Production Manager Greg Kinner. As a consequence of the disaster, local news items and advertising could not be collected and included in this edition. We plan to set up temporary quarters from which to operate and resume normal production as quickly as humanly possi- ble. In the meantime, we ask our readers and advertisers to bear with us.
