Pumpkin Center, Icy Pilot Knob

Pumpkin Center was a thriving little community back in some long ago day. The little town boasted saloons, a hotel, a mill, and a couple of general stores. It's an amazing place where Knob Creek flows into Mill Creek. In one photo, you can see a large piece of sheet metal that was deposited in a tree on Super Tuesday by the tornado that ripped through the county a full 6-8 miles away.
Because I was suffering from the flu last week, I was unable to get out to get shots of the ice-covered diamond lace that covered the county after an ice-storm. The icy shot of Pilot Knob was the remains, this morning, of a lighter icing Izard County received on Thursday.

Tornado Alley!

Devastation took place in the county last night on the winds of a fierce and terrible "cyclone"! These shots were taken along the path of a tornado that swept through Izard County last night that claimed the lives of two precious individuals and destroyed the homes of many more. The tornado bounced and staggered back and forth along the winding Zion Road for over 7 miles before heading off across the Strawberry River to wreak havoc to the northeast in Sharp County!
