Apison after April 27: Bonfires and senior proms

Darlene Powell, left, watches from her front porch as a Calvary Chapel team from New York and Florida clears and burns debris on her property. Her daughter, Jessica (right), attended her senior prom just three days after the April 27 tornado and graduated a week after the tornado. Everything went as planned, she said, except the prom site was relocated from Hunter Museum of American Art, which was damaged, to the Tennessee Aquarium. The Powells are members of Apison United Methodist Church.
