Lots of thunderstorms and tornadoes up in Fastnoc's area Thursday night. Fortunately, he was OK, from what I hear.
However, the town of Mena was pretty seriously torn up. Some 25 blocks were damaged, a factory was destroyed, and several people were killed. This isn't the first time for Mena; they had one some years ago, maybe 15 years ago? Lots of damage close to downtown.
I have a house about 30 miles north of Mena. My brother (and his many cats) lives there. Also, Mena was the nearest town to where my mother last lived.
Now, in this age of Google, this isn't a hard quiz, but give it a try without google, if you can!
1. Mena's name is shortened from a queen's name. Whose?
2. Mena was involved in allegations of a Presidential scandal. Can you give any details?
3. Destruction in Mena immediately raised concerns among race fans and hot rod builders. Why?
