- ➤ Families in Jackson and Madison County gathered Thursday and will continue meeting through the weekend to reflect on a tough year and share gratitude for what they have. The year brought minor flooding and one small tornado in May (which briefly shifted items at a warehouse near the Jackson Regional Airport) along with financial stress from political gridlock (which led to missed payments), yet local non-profits are stepping in to help those in need.
