Molino Tornado One Year Later: Highland Baptist
February 17, 2009
The story of the Molino tornado one year ago and what happened inside Highland Baptist Church played out on television networks across the United States.
Highland was directly in the path of the EF-1 tornado that destroyed four Molino homes and damaged dozens more on February 17, 2008.
Highland Pastor Brian Calhoun and other church members did television interviews, beamed by satellite into homes across the Gulf Coast and the country. A front page article about the church and the tornado was in the Florida Baptist Witness. That article used photographs from NorthEscambia.com.

The Sunday after the storm, worshipers at Highland Baptist Church and Victory Assembly of God viewed a video using NorthEscambia.com pictures. Click here to watch the video.
