“There were things we were never able to find," Bullock told The Associated Press recently. “Our neighbor's dryer was in our yard. We found our ketchup but we couldn't find our refrigerator." Audible evidence of rebuilding in Mayfield has been difficult to miss: the cracking and crashing of excavators breaking apart wood and glass, the beep-beep-beep of heavy machinery reversing, the popping of roofers' nail guns.
“We really hold the future of Mayfield and Graves County in our hands,” Warner said. “And that is scary, yet exciting." Recovery will take “a couple of years, but it shouldn’t take any longer,” Beshear said. “There are days that it’s a little more frustrating, ... but we are going to get this done.” Heartland’s relief efforts have shifted to rebuilding, with donated furniture and beds for those who have found new places to live. But Glass said the church's community spirit goes further than that.
