"Stay Strong Portland," the McDonald's digital marquee reads as residents begin the long process of rebuilding after a tornado left a path of damage from one end of the City of Two Rivers to the other.

This video features a collection of photographs that show the damage, but also the spirit with which residents, businesses, churches and others that just want to help, are facing a challenge that no one could have imagined.

Set to the song "Hold Us Together" by Matt Maher, the song's lyrics embody that spirit: "And I'll be my brother's keeper so the whole world will know that we're not alone."
