Millbury and surrounding areas turned down by FEMA

A "no" from FEMA because of hard work?:

"A FEMA rep told FOX Toledo, the area was not declared a disaster area because of the response from local, state, federal and volunteer agencies.

'No matter what the letter said, we appreciate the 3000 volunteers plus that came out to help. I know the letter said because of that we didn't qualify but the people here really appreciate all the people in the area that came out to help them,' said Millbury mayor Michael Timmons

“The outpouring of support we got from the entire region we should be proud and if need be we've proven we can take care of ourselves,' said Hummer
