FLOYDADA – The North Central Texas community of Jacksboro was hit hard on March 21 by an EF-3 Tornado that tore through the town, damaging dozens of homes and ripping the roof off both the town’s elementary and high school buildings.
Gary Boles, Pastor of First United Methodist Church of Floydada, has set up a supply drive for members of the Floydada community to help with relief efforts.
Boles sat down with the Record to talk about what supplies are needed, and how people can help.
