EF-4 Tornado

The powerful EF-4 tornado with winds of 185 mph that swept through North Bryan County on April 5th was the strongest to strike the United States this year. The deadly twister stayed on the ground for 14 minutes—taking a life, injuring 12 more, and destroying many homes and hundreds of our trees.

The Coastal Bryan Tree Foundation has launched an ambitious campaign to help replace the lost trees in Hendrix Park, the Bryan County Courthouse and other affected areas in the path of the storm. Your donations, large or small, will be extremely welcomed and will help us buy trees to restore our beautiful tree canopy. We expect to begin replanting trees this fall.
