Ester Johnson-El, 62, inspects her wrecked bedroom where she rode out the storm with her nephew, grandson, and her grandson's mother, in the aftermath of a tornado in Wynne, Arkansas, U.S., April 1, 2023. "When the storm arrived Ester had huddled in her home's closet until a large tree limb impaled the ceiling. She then escaped into her bedroom, only to be narrowly missed by a second limb," said photographer Cheney Orr. Johnson-El was shaken but unharmed and was thrilled as her great-granddaughter She-Keelie, 6, arrived to give her a hug. Her positive attitude despite the circumstances made an impact on Orr. "To be able to witness and photograph such a moment of pure joy was a gift," he said. "My emotions are mixed when I leave places like Wynne." REUTERS/Cheney Orr
