SUMMARY: After the Storm, sponsored by Southern Housing, discussed the progress made nearly one year after a tornado hit Cooper Tire (now Goodyear) in Monroe and Montgomery counties. Despite significant damage, zero injuries were reported thanks to quick decision-making. The tornado caused extensive damage, but the community came together to clean up debris and rebuild the plant. Production was halted for two months, affecting over 1,700 employees. However, with community support, the plant was restored, and manufacturing director Kobe Claude Felter says they came back stronger. The factory is now fully operational, showing resilience and unity in the face of adversity.

Monday marks one year since a tornado hit a plant in the City of Tupelo.

The person’s umbrella appears to have blown away, and they look surprised, saying, “Oh no!” Many can relate to this scene, especially after the heavy rainfall that moved through yesterday. Thank you, Katherine, for your photo submission. You can submit your own pictures just like Katherine did.
