i was in mountain home and lived in gassville during the tornado..... i now live in southern california where i was born and raised..... i just couldnt hang with the extreme weather

We lived in Midway, AR, about 10 minutes from Mountain Home. We lost our power for 4 weeks, a power line and tree fell on our trailer, a tree fell on our fence in the back, and we moved in with my parents and about 3 other families because my parents lived in town and only lost their power for 20 minutes. It was beautiful, glad I lived through it, but hope it doesn't happen again.
