CALHOUN, Ga. Each year, a Gordon County family celebrates survival and the powerful bond forged by a devastating tornado.
It’s been eight years since the EF-3 tornado bearing 160 mph, winds cut a 22-mile swath of devastation from Adairsville to Calhoun. Dozens of homes were badly damaged or destroyed.
One of those homes collapsed on top of Betty Stewart and her 2-year-old great-grandson Zane McFarland.
