SUMMARY: John Dek, a meteorologist in North Mississippi, shares his experience with the 2014 tornado that devastated his neighborhood. His family had to take a detour to avoid debris and damage. While some trees have been replanted, not all have returned, including a 60-70 year old tree near Parkway Baptist Church. Dek reflects on the resilience of his community and the slow process of rebuilding. Despite the changes, the neighborhood still remembers him and the impact of that day. Through it all, Dek finds solace in the image of a turtle on his mantle, undisturbed during the chaos of the tornado.

Ten years later, WTVA Meteorologist John Dolusic shared how he found himself among those who had a mess to clean up after the twister tore through Tupelo in 2014.

SUMMARY: Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis while testifying about welfare reform in Congress. Neurology consultant Paige Sanders discussed Parkinson’s, a progressive movement disorder caused by the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, leading to decreased dopamine levels. Symptoms include resting tremors, shuffling gait, stiffness, and difficulties with daily tasks. While head injuries may increase athletes’ risk for Parkinson’s, most cases are idiopathic. There’s no cure, and treatments mainly involve medications and therapies to manage symptoms. Athletes, particularly older males, are at higher risk, but Parkinson’s affects a broad range of individuals.

Anchor Tanya Carter spoke with Paige Sanders of Neurology Consultants of North Mississippi about Parkinson’s Disease.
