PARON, Ark. (AP) - A survivor says her father and two sisters were killed in a tornado that touched down in a neighborhood straddling the border of Saline and Pulaski Counties.
Lt. Carl Minden with Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office says three people died Sunday after a tornado cleared a Paron home, leaving only the residence’s foundation remaining. Seventeen-year-old Emily Tittle says her father, Rob Tittle; 20-year-old sister Tori and 14-year-old sister Rebekah were killed in the storm. She says her other six siblings were taken to hospitals, but three have since been discharged.
She says her family sought shelter beneath the stairs of their two-story home, but only half of them made it before walls were torn off their home.
Emily Tittle returned to the rubble Monday to search for personal items and photographs.
