Jarrell choir founder recalls tornado loss in Dimmitt memories
Avie Lewis, a former Jarrell ISD choir teacher who left March 1 to care for her cancer-stricken mother, returned briefly for a spring concert farewell. A tornado 12 days later leveled Double Creek Estates, killing 27 people including four of her choir students, injuring eight, and leaving 100 homeless in Jarrell. Lewis recalls close bonds with students and neighbors, the destruction that followed, and the small town’s brief 30 minute warning before disaster struck.
