TG Nichol Plumbing was one of the hardest hit businesses, and it's the last to recover from the tornado that hit Aumsville one year ago. Doug Nichol thinks back to the mess that was under his feet last December 14th. “One year ago today, and 11-41, this whole area was in a shambles.” The Nichols' new building will be bigger, sturdier and house a new fitness club run by his son and a friend. Nearly all the homes and other structures damaged by the category ED2 twister have been repaired.
