Weather alerts should be better, Hispanic residents say in Rogers, Arkansas

“When Patricia Garcia heard a siren Sunday, she didn’t know it was forecasting severe weather.

After she heard a second siren and a weird noise, she woke her daughter, Myra Rentio. “We didn’t know it was coming,” Rentio said. She and her daughter were on her bed when the roof collapsed, and Rentio said nails from the roof were driven into the bed as though hammered into place. “We can’t even believe it how we’re alive,” said Rentio, who covered herself and her child with a blanket.”
