One man living in Marion County said his brother was pulled out of his own home during a tornado.
Communities in North Arkansas are working to clean up and rebuild what was lost after a tornado outbreak."You see people on television that lose their home in a tornado, but you do not really think that much about it until it happens to you," said Shirley Nowlin who has lived in Pyatt, Arkansas for 45 years.
"You do not know where your next meal is going to come from or where you are going to sleep tonight.” “He went for a ride through that. His house took a direct hit and it flattened it," said Justin Hurst.What was once known as their family home is now missing major pieces that Hurst grew up seeing every day.A beloved malt shop in Rogers that has been in the same spot for nearly 64 years was also in the path of a tornado.“People in Northwest Arkansas that know Rodgers have been to Susie Q," said U.S. Congressman Steve Womack, former mayor of Rogers.
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a press conference in Bentonville on Sunday highlighting the strength of Arkansans in vulnerable moments. “We are seeing the great humanity of Arkansans," said Governor Sanders. "Neighbors helping neighbors even when their own homes and businesses are damaged, they are showing up and helping one another.”As communities are hit by disasters and left unrecognizable, Arkansans always step up in the most trying times.
