A devastating picture in East Texas after a tornado touched down in Polk County. At least three people were killed. Dozens of people were hurt. 

Now, help is on the way thanks to the Texas Baptist Men.

John Hall from the Texas Baptist Men says they're sending in chainsaw teams to help.  Hall says, "These are teams of volunteers who are helping much like they did during the Dallas tornadoes last Fall. They will be cutting down and removing fallen trees from houses as well as property." 

He says that way people can get in and out of their neighborhoods and homes once crews access the damage. He says they may later be handing out boxes and feeding those in need.
