ished him more than twofold. Death and destruction will always be with us, but how we handle it is a personal choice. I believe this city and county will rebuild if we let God have His way. It will be a long road, but we must continue on with this journey.”

were injured during the storm despite the surprisingly low death toll.

Gazay—who has taken part in many disaster-related search and rescue missions during his tenure with the U.S. military - noted that the March 2 tornado represented a personal career milestone.

“I have worked several hur-

ricanes and even a volcano eruption,” Gazay said. “This was my first tornado, and I had never seen anything like it before in my life. I find it astounding that Morgan County is so far along with its recovery efforts. I attribute this to great city and county gov-ernment leadership, and to citi-zen volunteerism.”

Local Emergency Management Director Irene Jenkins said the Feb. 29 torna-do served as a warning for many citizens.

“The damage from the first tornado caused people to take the threat of the second twister more seriously,” Jenkins said. “Many lives were undoubtedly saved because more people took cover the second time.”

Jenkins also noted that EOC

officials will take more disas-ter precautions with the con-struction of several tornado shelters throughout the county.

Gazay predicted that the rebuilding process will begin soon.

“Morgan County will be in recovery mode for a long time,” Gazay said. “But I believe the community will come together to make this town better than ever. The way Morgan Countians have united since this disaster amazes me.”

EOC committee members include Judge Executive Tim Conley, Mayor Jim Rupe, Jim Gazay, Mike Lacy and John Conley.

assistance in coordinating the move.

“Seven staff members and the 28 residents were in the basement of one of the build-ings hit by the tornado,” he said. “Thankfully, no one was hurt. With the support of Rowan County, the students will remain on their sched-

ules.”Regular classes for the

WYDC residents will resume Monday in their new class-rooms.

In other business, the school board scheduled the high school graduation for the eve-ning of the last day of school, currently set for May 11.

members of all other county fire departments - soon arrived at the scene and worked around the clock for several days to search for survivors, clear rub-ble and maintain order in the disaster area.

“We were all separated from our families,” Scalf said. “I was talking to my wife on the phone when the tornado hit and the line went dead. Of course, I was worried... But we had to put all of our personal feelings aside so we could work through this crisis.”

Appoximately 30 fire depart-ments and law enforcement agencies throughout Kentucky sent numerous members to West Liberty with vehicles, supplies and other resources to aid the emergency services effort.

“Some of these departments have stayed with us since the tornado hit,” Scalf said. “We would especially like to thank Ashland Fire Department members, who have expressed a desire to donate a fire truck to WLFD.”

WLFD members will also be available to assist other depart-ments during future crises.

“We will repay our debts to our fire service brothers,” Phipps said. “We can never thank them enough for what they have done.”

Phipps also noted that the construction of the new fire-house on Index Hill was has-tened due to extensive damage to the City Hall basement, where the department was pre-viously headquartered.

“There has been a lot of prog-ress made on the firehouse since the storm,” Phipps said. “We hope to move into the building within the next 60 days.”

Department members are currently stationed in the for-

mer firehouse/waterworks building at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Main Street, where the city street department is also located.

WLFD officers said though the tornado changed the face of West Liberty, the fire depart-ment will remain a solid com-munity institution.

“West Liberty Fire Department is here to stay,” Phipps said. “This town will rebuild, and we will always be here to serve and protect our citizens.”
