On April 27, Jeffrey Hunter, 22, knew that a tornado was rapidly moving towards his house in Vilonia, Arkansas. With only minutes to spare before the massive EF-4 twister was to hit, he sent a series of texts to his mother, 20 miles away, that ended up being his final goodbye.

Now, those texts are being cherished by Regina Wood, Hunter’s mother, who said she’ll hold on to them forever.   

‘First he said “Mama, I’m so scared,”‘ Wood told nwahomepage.com.

  1. This weather storm system was contrived(man-made) just like it was back in 2011 when these exact same storms hit the midwest. go research it and see for yourself that the weather doppler radar arrays are carrying up to 1 million watts in transceiver wattage/overkill for imaging a storm but not if you microwave a storm into a monster which is what they are doing with these storms. who suffers?…..white anglo middle class america, thats who.

    wanna learn more about weather weapons and weather control?
    go to utube and search for user-dutchsinse.

  2. When planes hit the world trade centers the intercom said “stay in your office and stay calm”. Those who stayed are dead. Those who fled are alive. Same thing with tornado’s. The experts say never drive a car around a tornado, lay down in a ditch, or stay in your home and go to the inner part of the house. It’s all bullshit. If it’s daylight and you see a tornado coming straight towards you …grab your keys, jump in the car and drive away from the tornado. If you can drive the car to the west side of the tornado….then your safe. Remember tornado’s travel usually to the north east.
