NEWNAN, Ga. Three weeks after a tornado ripped through Coweta County, federal help may soon be on the way.
Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock both toured the damage in Newnan Saturday. The two promised to petition the Biden Administration and FEMA for federal disaster relief.
The EF4 tornado and aftermath has yet to be declared a federal disaster. Warnock said Gov. Brian Kemp sent a letter to the Biden Administration Friday, and promised Georgia’s U.S. senators would send a follow up letter and press the issue.
