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.
