“Goodbye mama…”
Jeffrey Hunter, a senior at the University of Central Arkansas, knew he wasn't going to make it through the tornado that was hurtling toward his hiding place in a bathroom in Vilonia, Ark.
The student texted his mom, who was 20 miles away. "First he said mama, I'm so scared," Regina Wood, Hunter's mother, told KFTA. "He knew how bad it was, these say it's going to be a direct hit."
Hunter sent his mother two final texts: "Goodbye mama...." and "It's heading right for me."
All Wood could do was update her son through text on where the EF-4 tornado was headed, and try to reassure him he would be okay.
"I kept saying, 'Are you okay? Are you okay? Let me know. Let me know.' No answer," Wood recalled.
