Tornado anniversary: Couple rebuilds after home destroyed
Richard and Sharon Kennedy
Richard and Sharon Kennedy stand in their front yard on a recent afternoon in front of their recently rebuilt home. They were able to move in Feb. 14, 10 months after their 40-year-old home in Pembroke was destroyed by the EF4 tornado that ripped through North Bryan, killing one person and causing millions of dollars worth of damage.
A year has passed since the tornado entered Richard and Sharon Kennedy’s life, and much is different. The massive 42-year-old four-bedroom house they shared for 26 years is gone, and so are many of the things they saved from a lifetime spent enjoying life – ornaments and mementos from Christmases, Easters, Halloweens, any excuse to get together with family and friends and celebrate.
