Self-sufficient Arkansas

摘要

When a series of tornadoes hit Dumas, Arkansas (pop. 5,000) on February 24th, not much of the town was left. The Mad Butcher grocery, Fred's discount store and the community centre vanished. The twisters wrecked 150 homes and knocked out an electricity substation, leaving thousands in the dark for six days. Twenty-seven people were injured, 25 businesses damaged or destroyed.
