One year ago today, our neighborhood was hit hard by the May 16, 2025 tornado — a federally declared disaster that left a lasting mark on the community.

To mark the anniversary, the WPIA is throwing an informal Tornado-versary Block Party at the Traffic Circle. It probably won’t be as full-blown as the Fall Festival, but we’ll cook some hot dogs, have a few beverages, and swap insurance tales. Weather permitting, it should be a good chance to gather and reflect on how far we’ve come.

More details to follow as the date approaches. All neighbors welcome.
