In the wake of the deadly EF-3 tornado, an overwhelming amount of support continues to pour into the Indian Lake region. On Monday afternoon, we traveled to The Lighthouse at Indian Lake in Russells Point where people from near and far have donated items ranging from food and water to clothes, blankets, hygiene products, baby formula and diapers. A kitchen staff was also present to help serve tornado survivors and area first responders with hot meals serving 750 meals just on Monday. Organizers at The Lighthouse have a 40-foot container outside for overflow storage of donated items, and they say that a second container might be needed as the generosity continues to pour in.
