Rosebud Arkansas Relative found

Kathy's grandfather's resting place was found in Rosebud, Arkansas. She had only met him once before he passed away. So far as we know, none of the family were able to attend his funeral, including Kathy's mother. This gave Kathy much joy to visit his final resting place. She said he was a very gentle, slim and tall man.

Proof positive that Kathy was here!

Tornado!

Pictures of a devastating tornado that came through Horseshoe Bend, AR Friday. It missed our branch members the Suttons by just a few hundred feet, but these homes were not spared.

 

This is Crown Lake looking south. The tornado first touched down on the lake, and then skipped up to the houses at the top of the hill about 1/4 mile from the lake. Debris scatter across the road shows the direction of the wind.

Looking north at the south face of the homes that took the brunt of the storm.

The deck was completely torn off this home. Notice the support pillars and where it was attached to the home.

The deck ended up in the neighbor's front yard. The deck from the neighbor's house probably was what blew out the picture window which provided a picturesque view of Crown Lake.

Tree uprooted in the front of this house.

A close up of the tree uprooted.

Debris in the tree . Many of the trees to the right of the debris were broken in half.

The roof was almost completely torn off this house.

A boat turned up on its side.

Another of many uprooted trees in the neighborhood.

Trash everywhere.

A travel trailer turned up on the side. The trees stopped it from going any further. Behind it was a boat that was undamaged.

A close up of the scattered debris across the street from most of the damage. Much of the debris was spread over a half a mile from the homes. Several trees had to be removed from the streets, and were cut up into firewood. The end result was a good one in that no one was hurt.

 The red line shows the direction and location of the tornado. It started at the lake, and then jumped up 1/4 mile to South Little Rock Rd to the left.
