A new documentary series on Very Local looks to explore the stories behind and beyond the forecast. Through on-the-ground footage and sit-down interviews, we will revisit some of the country’s most dangerous weather through the lens of those who lived it.
The first episode will tell the story of the 2021 Mayfield tornadoes. Very Local would like to share your stories of that day, to remember loved ones, honor everyday heroes and take stock of how the community has rebuilt.
The documentary is looking for first hand coverage (i.e. video and photos) of before, during and after the storm, as well as participants with a story to share.
