It's been a month since a tornado ripped through Hugo, but the cleanup continues slowly.
Dozens of families are rebuilding their homes. They're working with contractors who specialize in things like water damage and professional cleaning.
The city of Hugo has been busy issuing building permits so residents can repair the damage. Officials say about 900 permits have been issued in just the last three weeks.
The city continues to get help from outsiders -- this week the Hugo tornado relief funds were worth about $200,000.
