Linton Mayor speaks on devastation from Friday tornado
LINTON, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Linton Mayor John Preble said the community has showed an outpouring of support to those impacted by Friday night's tornado.
Mayor John Preble said while there was no damage within the city limits, the city has been working closely with the county on the response.
He said the former National Guard Armory is being used as a central location for supplies and donations. The Linton Assembly of God Church also has counseling services available.
Mayor Preble commended city departments for their response and said they'll sit down for an after-action report going forward.
'I had 27 years in the military and I actually supported tsunami relief efforts both in the Indonesian tsunami and the Japan tsunami. You learn a lot of the big things which a lot of people take care of, but then there's a lot of the smaller details that you don't think about until something happens,' said Mayor Preble.
He also expressed appreciation to several nearby cities that have helped and offered support.
