On April 27, 2011 a major storm hit Newport. This is some of the destruction: the Adult High School Building was almost completely leveled, the Cocke County High School and Newport Grammar School had structural damage, and some residents went two days without power. Cocke County was blessed by the Lord with no reported fatalities or life-threatening injuries. However, some of our surrounding counties did have worse damage with fatalities. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the effected families.
UPDATE: April 30,2011
We officially had a F1 Tornado. They have classified all the damages. Please pray for our county and all of East Tennessee as we try to recover from the loss and damages.
