WARE COUNTY, Ga. — Ware County schools are currently collecting donations for the Buck Thigpen family. This comes after the family's home was destroyed by a tornado during a recent storm on Friday, April 19.
Buck Thigpen, his wife Healther and their son, Chael, were in the home at the time of the tornado. Heather is a media specialist at Williams Heights Elementary School.
"It was like being thrown into a dryer and tumbling over and over," Heather said. "We dug our son up from under drywall and took off running across the road to my in-law's house. We came out of this horrendous situation with cuts, bruises and and my husband broke his collar bone."
