Billie Jean Cohen looked at a bird bath in her front yard on Sunday after some of her friends and family members found the scattered pieces and set it back up for her.

“Some of the guys did it,” she said. “They were trying to make me feel a little better.”

They could put the bird bath together again, but behind her, her home had been destroyed. Only a few damaged, leaning walls remained.

The entire roof to her house had been torn away by the tornado which touched down southwest of Hartshorne around 5:30 p.m.

The National Weather Service gauged the storm as an EF-2 tornado, with maximum winds of from 110 to 120 miles per hour.

It tore through the rural Arch and Blue Valley communities, leaving destruction in its wake.

Some of the heaviest damage occurred where the Cohens live in Arch and at the Blue Valley Ranch, southwest of Hartshorne.

Next to Billie Jean Cohen’s house, her brother and sister-in-law, Geronimo and Lisa Cohen, also lost their home.
