Nakakapanlumo umano ang sinapit ng East Nashville, Tennessee matapos tumama ang malakas na tornado na kumitil sa nasa 25 na katao.
Sa panayam ng Star FM Baguio kay Mae Arena, isang Pinoy intern sa Nashville, sinabi nitong hindi niya akalaing mangyayari sa isang payapa at masayang komunidad ang ganoong trahedya.
Sa kwento nito ay halos masira ang lahat ng mga bahay at pati mga establisyimento sa nasabing lugar.
“It’s a great area, but right now, everything is devastated. It’s really messy. A lot of houses were ruined. Last night, I got off at work at 11pm. It was still fine. There was nothing happening at all. And then, at 12:30, when I arrived home, there was already an amber alert, and the sirens were already making noise in the streets. It was raining. There were thunderstorms, and the lights, even in my apartment were already flickering so it was really scary, because the amber alert says to take shelter now. What am I gonna do? Am I gonna go somewhere to take shelter or what? It’s really horrible. It’s literally breaking my heart. This city is really beautiful and it is really great, knowing what happened, it’s just heartbreaking.”
Kwento naman nito na nakita niya ang pagtutulungan ng mga tao para makabangong muli.
“Even the community are really doing all the measures that they can do to help everyone. They are really here for everyone. Some of them are also offering their houses for the people who were affected so they can live there, or spend some days there.”
Samantala, sa kasalukuyan ay nasa state of emergency ang estado ng Tennessee. Nasa 24 na ang nasawi sa insidente habang 150 naman ang nasa pagamutan.
