GREENLAND, Ark. — Crews with Sheep Dog Impact Assistance are set to be back in Greenland, Arkansas, Tuesday, after multiple tornadoes hit Washington County.
Around 7:30 p.m. Monday, a possible tornado touched down west of Greenland, causing damage to homes and business.
"We like to say that helping is healing, so going out and helping others is a huge aspect of what we do," said Bob Corscadden, director of disaster response for Sheep Dog. "A lot of times, we help people that wouldn't normally get any help, don't have insurance. No one's coming to help them anytime soon. And so that's really the kind of people we look for."
Thousands were without power in Washington County Tuesday morning.
