"It's incredible…. The destruction a tornado can do," a person wrote in the comment thread. A woman wrote, "Should turn it into mulch, plant new trees and then spread the mulch." A man wrote, "It mostly pine wood not good for firewood it will build creosote in your chimney."

The City of Little Rock wrote in a Facebook post on April 11, 2023, "Thank you, Little Rock for helping us gather data about damage to personal property and infrastructures throughout the city that were affected by the storm.
