WYMT-TV reports that Paul Lyons, Nathan Lewis and Timothy Boatright usually spend their time making videos of weddings and about tourism, but decided to work together on a documentary after the tornado destroyed part of their hometown of West Liberty.

Lyons said they wanted to document how bad the destruction was and how quickly the community came together to rebuild it.

They say the film will be called “Path of Prevalence” and will be released on March 2, 2013, the one-year anniversary of when the tornado hit the town.
