Remembering Moms In Tornado Zone

With all the destruction and loss from recent storms it might be easy to overlook Mother's Bay, but a lot of volunteers at the Belk Activities Center are trying to make sure that doesn't happen.
Florists from around the area drop off gift bundles at this Red Cross shelter. The mothers and daughters who run these businesses say the disaster is putting their maternal instincts to work.

“That's what god puts in us, is we nurture and as a mother I believe that's what we do automatically,” says the owner of Linda’s Flowers Sonya Mcateer. Moms displaced by the storm couldn't be happier that their special day wasn't passed over.

“It's a lot different from a normal mother's day but you know, but it made me feel pretty warm to wake up to flowers again even though I’m not in my own home right now,” says storm victim Deeldra Brown. Registered nurse and mother Kathleen Flarry says she's thankful for the flowers volunteers left her and doesn't mind making mother's day, a day of work.

“Well that's just what it is, this is what we do Mother's Day or not, and that's just how it is in a disaster and this is a gift to us to be able to be here,” says Flarry.
