] Date Posted: 09:06:19 05/12/08 Mon The tornado that hit Stuttgart this weekend hit the offices of Erwin & McCorkindale CPAs. Matt McCorkindale (Kevin's older brother) is a partner in this practice. I'm not aware that there are any injuries, but the office was pretty much devastated. Please keep Matt in your thoughts and prayers...

Date Posted: 20:09:04 05/13/08 Tue Let's hope Matt is okay and wasn't in his office at the time of the tornado. Several siren warnings went off here in Harrison. The most I've ever heard. There were supposedly cells to the west of us and just to the south, but after all of the warnings all we received was brief heavy rain. Richie, remember the spring of '73 when the tornado took a southerly path across Harrison while we were all in our first period classes. I was in Mrs. McCoy's English class when it all started. It's king of funny now but as the rain began to pour hard she said that it reminded her of the time she went through a tornado. Seconds later it became very quiet and dark and once again she said it reminded her of the tornado she once went through. A few minutes later she looked out the window of the class and saw her garbage cans flying across the high school parking lot. That's the last we saw of her that morning. She walked out of class and left us all setting there wondering what to do next. I remember us all gathering in the hallways--some setting, some standing. I remember Tommy Matthews saying that if we'd actually been hit by a tornado the school would have been wiped out. The school really had no plan at the time for such an event. At least that was my recollection. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:46:08 05/17/08 Sat I did not check the site during the week so I did not see your post, Richie, until this morning. Neither Matt, his co-workers, nor any of his family members were injured. However, as you may have seen from the pictures in the newspaper, his offices were destroyed. His firm has set up temporary quarters in a separate building. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:39:31 05/23/08 Fri Now here's a real scary thought: all of Matt's confidential papers for the last 20 years are floating around Stuttgart....in ditches, on rooftops, for most lawyers, that would be pretty bad. For Matt, man, there's no telling what they'll find in the debris. I'll bet the National Enquirer has sent a team of reporters down there already. ps...I'm glad he's safe and all is okay.

Date Posted: 18:27:39 05/25/08 Sun I am very sorry to here about Matt's office. At least no one was hurt. I had an Entergy person check on friends of my Mom's that live there and they had some damage also. This has really been horrible this year. Atkins was destroyed 1st and that went over our house. The straight line winds that came through here did so much damage you can not imagine. We have heard more sirens this year than I think of all my adult life! Greg remember when we were in Conway with Lionel and you in the trailer and the hail hit. Windows were breaking out and our cars were demolished. That was a really bad storm. I urge each of you to please look into getting a safe room if you do not have a basement. When you see what can happen in these towns and the lifes lost you must take heed. Has anyone decided if we are going to have a 35th? I totally understand if we don't and why people do not want to work on it. I had fun at the last one and would like to mark my calender if we do.

Date Posted: 16:13:52 05/28/08 Wed Becky, I certainly remember the storm that hit our trailor when we were at UCA. But I don't remember Lionel being there. Of course, it was his dad's trailor and Lionel and Steve Beeler lived there with me, but I believe they were gone to class or elsewhere when it hit. I remember you, a girfriend of yours and me being the only ones there. (I always had at least two girls at my side during college.) We ended up in my little bedroom when the storm hit, and could hear the windows breaking out of the trailor as the large hailstones strafed the trailor, and your Triumph and my Monte Carlo, as we rode it out. Had it been a tornado we would have been history. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:37:37 06/04/08 Wed I'm glad everyone is okay. I'm tired of the storms and never stop being overwhelmed by the damage they can do. One of the ladies here was talking about going to her 30th reunion this summer. I told her that I wished for her and her classmates just HALF of the fun that we had. I know it is hard and we are all busy. Maybe we could just go somewhere that had enough rooms for us all and spend the night and just catch up? I work with Joe Morris and he and I were just talking this morning about the work that went on to put on our last reunion. Another thanks to all of you guys. Malia [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
