Despite the losses suffered, a sense of resilience and community permeates the city
When Leyda Becker heard a weather alert on her phone in the early morning hours of December 11, she wasn't surprised. Tornado alerts in Bowling Green are not uncommon and often don't amount to much.
But along with her husband and two children, she took shelter in the closet. Shortly after 2 a.m, the fierce winds quieted down. Becker took a peek outside, but in the pitch dark she couldn't see anything and went back to sleep. It wasn't until several hours later that daylight revealed the devastation the deadly twister left in its wake. "One street behind us, the top of almost every home was taken off. We were very close," she said.
