QUINCY, Fla. (WTXL) — Sunday night's severe weather was just the latest blow to local communities that are still battered and bruised following Hurricane Michael.
WTXL spoke to Quincy's interim city manager, Jack McLean Jr., Monday afternoon.
He says his staff is again working overtime to meet the needs of the community following this latest hit from Mother Nature. It's a tough task, especially for a community that was still hurting from Michael.
Over the weekend, WTXL was at a supply giveaway in Quincy. There was a line of community members there, all trying to get food and other relief supplies.
Those supplies were gone in less than two hours.
The city manager says people in his community are just getting back on their feet following Michael. At several recent aid workshops, the turnout has been lower than what we saw right after the storm, so there's been a lot of reason for hope in Quincy.
Sunday's night's storm was definitely a setback and the interim city manager wishes they had held onto the supplies.
"I have trees that are uprooted and twisted," said McLean. "I have a utility system that is now down. Not down, but we have lights and we have to repair that so yes, I wish we had them today to be able to help."
Radar conditions in Gadsden County Sunday night indicated that a tornado was possible.
The National Weather Service will investigate, but at this point, we don't know for sure if a twister hit Gadsden.
Some communities members had criticized Quincy city leaders for taking seven weeks to get those supplies out of a warehouse
