LITTLE FLOCK, Ark. (KHBS) – A wedding dress has been reunited with its owner after it was blown away by a tornado that swept through parts of Arkansas Monday.
The dress landed in the yard of Jennifer Tisdale, who with the help of a friend, took to social media to find its owner.
The National Weather Service said an EF 2 tornado hit parts of the town of Little Flock.
Neighbors said the storm produced a lot of debris, objects and personal belongings from other people’s homes.
“We found some Halloween decorations, some Thanksgiving decorations, lots of Legos which broke my heart,” neighbor Jennifer Tisdale said.
Most recently, Tisdale and neighbor Angela Moffitt said they found a wedding dress on Tisdale’s property.
“We really thought it was a sheet or bath curtain or something in the yard and came to investigate and noticed that it was very lacy and very pretty and like, ‘Oh, my goodness, this is someone’s wedding dress,’” Tisdale said. “And for having traveled as far as it did, it was in pretty good shape, just a little dirty and wet.”
With the help of Moffitt’s daughter, the ladies went to social media to try and return the dress to its owner.
“Within a few seconds. I mean, I think we had someone say, ‘Oh, we know exactly whose that is,’” Moffitt said.
Tisdale said the original owner lived a few houses down.
Tisdale and Moffitt said they were happy to achieve a small victory through the destruction.
“In a time when … everyone is stressed out and exhausted and trying to work through the aftermath of everything, it’s nice to be able to help somebody smile and get important pieces back,” Tisdale said.
The National Weather Service said the EF 2 twister hit wind speeds between 100 to 115 miles per hour.
