SOUTH CAROLINA – The Emerald City Cadet Squadron got a look recently at just how devastating a tornado can be when Abbeville Fire Department gave them a tour of areas devastated by a twister April 10.
The cadets visited the scene so they could learn what to expect if they were to be called out to assist in such a situation.
In addition, Abbeville residents appreciated the opportunity to meet and speak with members of the squadron, as they were not aware of Civil Air Patrol’s capabilities and desire to be of assistance after disasters. They also learned the squadron is available to provide other services as well.
