“We’re all tough. We all have our days, but we all stay together,” Bonnie Lynn told News Center 7′s John Bedell last year. “So, that’s what family’s about.”

The National Weather Service confirmed there were nine tornadoes on Feb. 28. It was the most for any day in February, according to Storm Center Weather Specialist Nick Dunn.

A man told News Center 7 last year that you have to give thanks that no one was hurt.

“After looking around and seeing nobody else was hurt around there, you have to give thanks,” said Doyle Bethel. “We can’t control nature.”

We will update this story.
