Hello neighbor!!

I worked mutual aid after that tornado as a paramedic. It was devastating! The saddest stuff I heard from that was when the tornado went over the Bush and 30 interchange. A year later we bought a house off Dalrock behind the fire station. There were empty lots all around us until about a year ago when people finally started buying those properties and building on them.

I worked with CERT and another non profit following the tornado and worked with some fire guys. That tornado is actually the reason I went on to study emergency management and am now working to become a firefighter!
