Tornadoes, Tornadoes, Tornadoes!
Tornado of 2011 ( around my area)
Tornado of 2024 (Hot Springs Village, AR)
So we had an EF-2 tornado hit our area last week (Thursday March 14, 2024). 75+ homes were destroyed and lots of trees down. Today makes one week since it came through. The damage and clean up will take months. The areas that were hit will take years to look like it did and that's even if it goes back to the way it was before it got destroyed. With that being said I have been through three tornadoes, that I'm starting to think that is what takes me out. The first one happened April 25, 2011. It was an EF-3. It came down Hwy 7 and then jumped the mountain to land in my neighborhood. We were in the living room when the outside sky turned a green color I have never seen. As we ran for the bathroom to get in the bathtub we heard the train like sound. We live in a trailer and I can tell you the house was shaking! It happened so quick that once it passed it was eerie silence. It took months for the clean up process to be done and had taken years for it to look some what like it did but it will never be the same.
Then last year (Friday March 31, 2023) we were in Little Rock when a tornado came down the road where we were at in a shopping center outlet. That tornado was an EF-3. It hit multiple areas and damaged hundreds of homes and neighborhoods. It's been a year and there are areas that still haven't been cleaned up or homes that still have damage to it. My car has slight damage to it from that encounter. So needless to say having gone through three now, I'm good. I do want y'all who are reading this to say a prayer for all of us who are in the States that get tornadoes as we are in our tornado season for the next 2 more months. It usually starts from March to May, so we are always looking out for severe weather that can produce tornadoes, however in all honesty they can happen anytime. My prayer is for all of us to be safe and that we pray for each other. God Bless Y'all 🙏
