Strong winds in England leave a home nearly split into two, one woman grateful to be alive
ENGLAND, Ark. – One homeowner in England spent her day watching limbs and branches be removed from inside her home, after a tree came crashing down due to strong winds on Sunday, May 11. A little further down East Haywood Street, her neighbor Mallory Bynum recounted the moment she saw the tree come crashing down. 'Like slow motion, it just cracked really loud. Like it sounded like a gunshot. And then it fell, and I heard it boom into the house. And then all the leaves shook at once,' Bynum said. GALLERY: Trees down, damage left as storms move through Arkansas on Easter Sunday Bynum said it was around 7 in the morning when high winds began rattling her windows and rain began beating down on the roof. 'It was so strong, it was whistling around the house,' Bynum said. 'It was just really fast. Like a super-fast gust, and then it died down fast. And then it poured rain.' Chainsaws and the hum of a crane then filled the neighborhood as a crew cuts down and cleans up what they can of the damage left behind. Arkansas Storm Team Forecast: Mother's Day Showers? The homeowner's family and neighbors are finding relief in knowing this is the worst of it as they work out the details of insurance. 'We were glad to lay eyes on her and know that she was okay,' Bynum said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
