It is with great sadness that we report that Angie Walker, age 41, was killed when her home was lifted from its foundation and flipped over. Walker was the wife of our colleague and friend, WGNS Radio President Scott Walker.
A total of three families were displaced from their homes in the Midland Road area. There is a lot of cleanup happening in that area and emergency officials are urging people to stay away.
