AJC Staff Photos of the Year, 2011-- Brant Sanderlin
Norma Parris examines a photo found in the rubble of her destroyed Ringgold, GA home. A tornado ripped through the small North Georgia community in late April, killing several nearby residents. It was hard gaining access in some of the hardest hit areas, but once I did all the residents I met were happy to share their experience of surviving the storm. I've been to many disasters in my 20 year career and have to say the residents of Ringgold are some of the most resilient people I've ever met. Brant Sanderlin bsanderlin@ajc.com
