Amidst the yet ungrown cotton and soybean fields, Cleveland Lenore Sr., 47, was a farmer who resided on this land. His large family consisted of wife Ella Lenore, 42, and children Cleveland Lenore Jr., 20; Verda Carter, 18; Danny Lenore, 17; Ronnie Lenore, 14; Doris Lenore, 13; Dennis Lenore, 12; Terry Lenore, 9; Patrick Lenore, 8; Patricia Lenore, 8; Reginald Evans, 3; Phyllis Lenore, 3; and grandchild Orlando Carter, 21 days.
That afternoon, Cleveland Sr., Cleveland Jr., and Ronnie were away visiting friends. That left eleven members of the clan at home.
In a moment, the house was gone, lofted and broken into tiny fragments. Light ground scouring occurred; trees were completely delimbed and heavily debarked; and a combine, dragline, and cars were crushed, torn up, and thrown about. Danny was the sole survivor inside that structure. He was transported to Vicksburg Hospital with a broken back.
