On the evening of June 21, 2023, a merciless tornado tore through the small town of Matador, Texas. The community woke up to find the destructive tornado had claimed the lives of four individuals, leaving at least fifteen others injured. Homes and buildings were reduced to rubble, vehicles were twisted and strewn about like toys, and power lines lay in shambles. As the sun rose, nearly the entire town found itself plunged into darkness, without electricity and basic resources. Thankfully, help was on the way.
