On the morning of Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020, just before 2am, a tornado touched down in Baxter, and marched down Highway 70 towards Cookeville causing damage, destruction, and death. It’s been a difficult time for residents of Putnam County, and this week, Lite Rock 95.9’s Sheila Scruggs sits down with 106-9 Kicks Country’s Jason Bailey and Tony Randolph, along with fellow Stonecom Radio team members Billy Mac, Will Hearn, and Marcia Lee Lorance, to reflect on their experiences covering the tornadoes, and the incredible relief and recovery efforts that have brought the community together.
