Update 4: Severe Storms Leave 11 Dead in Midwest – Forbes.com
“A tornado near the northeastern Arkansas town of Marmaduke sent at least 45 people to Arkansas Methodist Medical Center at Paragould, said a spokesman who added that many of the injuries were minor. Authorities closed off all access to Marmaduke, where damage was reportedly very heavy.”
I graduated from MHS. Fox says half the town was evacuated to Paragould, my hometown. A photo on Fox showed the church building there with some apparent roof damage.
My dad, Junior Jenkins was born in Marmaduke. His cousin T.L. and Norma Dean Jenkins lived in Marmaduke. They lost everything! I am praying that all will be restored and Marmaduke will rebound again. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole town of Marmaduke.
Sorry to hear that, Kathy. Any kin to Karen Jenkins? I went to school at Marmaduke with her.
