Here is a touching video looking back at the April 9, 2009 tornado that destroyed much of Mena, Arkansas
Sunday April 11, 2010 the Polk County Arkansas Long Term Recovery Committee held an event in Janssen Park to recognize those who helped Mena recover from the devastating tornado of April 9, 2009 and to remember those who lost their lives. Mena residents gathered at the park on a beautiful sunny day to remember the tornado that swept through town one year ago.
